I’m afraid of getting hurt –
That’s why I refuse to acknowledge skies beyond my view.
I’d been clutching my knees in my room that day,
But you pushed my windows open wide!

Down a path filled with rustling summer grass, we ran with abandon;
Our joined hands were sweaty as we played and laughed!

The more I think about your frustrations,
I wonder why it is I feel like crying?
But if this is merely proof that I’m no longer alone,
I want to hold this pain dear!

Amid all this reflection, I can’t see you from behind-
“Am I reaching you?” I tried to call out in the tiniest voice…
As you turned around, your hair swayed gently,
And I carved the speed of that moment into my heart.

All the words you gave to me…
Right now, I’m remembering each and every one;
Even on nights I couldn’t sleep amid overwhelming anxiety,
Strangely, I can now feel at ease…

Beneath a cloudy sky that obstructs the stars, your voice is counting them aloud;
Slowly, I began to see them shine behind my eyelids.

Tell me my true name,
That resides deep within those eyes.
Making fun of me, your hand softly brushed my cheek,
And I wished that I could trap that warmth forever.

If you were to call my name, from the furthest right-side corner of your heart,
I’d come running, no matter where I was!
I’d run, not even caring if I was barefoot;
Even if I wounded myself of got scraped up,
I wouldn’t care – ’cause I’d be running to you!

With all that sadness you carry,
Even if it’s only half, I want you to share it with me!
If it acts as proof that we can trust one other,
Then this pain will be my pride!

Amid all this reflection, I can’t see my future-
“Wait for me!” I cried out to it in a loud voice.
As you turned around, your hair swayed gently,
And I carved the speed of that moment into my heart.

傷つくのがこわい
だから見えない空ひたすら否定して
あの日の部屋で膝かかえてた僕の
窓をほら君が開けたんだ

夏草がさわぐ道　駆けだす君と僕
繋ぐ手のひら汗ばんでふざけて笑った

君のね　悔しさ思うたび
泣きたくなるのはどうしてだろう？
一人じゃないからこその印だとしたなら
この痛みを抱きしめたいよ

逆光で見えない背中に
「とどいてる？」　小さく呼びかけてみた
ふりかえる君の髪がふわり揺れる
その速度を胸にたしかに刻んだ

君が僕にくれた言葉
今　その一つ一つを思いだす
不安があふれ眠れない夜さえ
不思議だね　楽になれるんだ

曇り空見えぬ星　数える君の声
瞼の裏にゆっくりと瞬き浮かんだ

君のね　瞳の奥にある
本当の僕の名前を教えてよ
ちゃかす君の手が頬にふわり触れる
その温度をとじこめたいと願った

心の右端　君が僕の名を
呼んでくれたらいつだって僕は走る
走るよ　裸足でもかまわないから
傷ついたって擦りきれたって
かまわないから走っていくから……

君のね　抱えた悲しみ
半分でいい　僕にわけてよ
信じあえるからこその証だとしたなら
この痛みは僕の誇りだ

逆光で見えない未来に
「待っててね」　大きく呼びかけてみた
ふりかえる君の髪がふわり揺れる
その速度を胸にたしかに刻んだ
