1.The usual courtyard, a little ways past the old school building—
2.That was our special reserved seat
3.Boys forbidden—our secret garden
4.Though really, it was just a hangout5.
6.From here on, from here on
7.I’m on my way now
8.So in the usual courtyard, everyone, please wait for me
9.We know we can’t stay together forever
10.I know it
11.I know it
12.I know it13.
14.When we grow up and taste both the sweet and the bitter
15.Will we still laugh together, just like at today’s lunch?
16.When we grow up and finally see what’s truly important
17.Will we gather again in this courtyard and laugh together?
18.…Or am I the only one who thinks so?19.
20.The usual courtyard, a little ways past the old school building—
21.That was our special reserved seat
22.Where we fought, where we cried and hugged each other
23.Everything happened in this place24.
25.From here on, from here on
26.I’m on my way now
27.So in the usual courtyard, everyone, please wait for me
28.Even while we’re laughing together, I can’t help but feel uneasy
29.I’m such a fool
30.Such a fool
31.Foolish, aren’t I?32.
33.When we grow up and taste both the sweet and the bitter
34.Will I still be able to share my feelings, like I did today?
35.When we grow up and come to know the ugly things
36.Will I still believe your tears are also my own?
37.…Or am I the only one who thinks so?38.
39.That girl will be an office worker, that one will be a bride
40.That one will be a mother—
41.Surely everyone has their own dreams apart
42.But bringing the same smiles and our lunchboxes together
43.We’ll gather here again—
44.That’s my dream, for now45.
46.When we grow up and taste both the sweet and the bitter
47.Will we still laugh together, just like at today’s lunch?
48.When we grow up and finally see what’s truly important
49.Will we gather again in this courtyard and laugh together?
50.…Am I the only one who thinks so?
51.…Am I really the only one who thinks so?
