Ending Meaning & Lyrics (Gao)
我生 describes a bike at dawn and video calls. The poet notes: ‘I felt like I could catch your scent’. The song recalls playful habits like winning rock-paper-scissors.
Asagata baiku no oto deThe sound of a bike at dawn
Mou yoji da ne ttemurmurs that it’s already four AM,
Bokura no yoru wa itsumo aokattaand our nights were always tinged with a deep blue.
Aenai hi bideo tsuuwaWe’d video call on the days we couldn’t meet;
Gamen goshi ni moeven through the screen,
Kimi no nioi ga shitaI felt like I could catch your scent.
Nakeru to wadai no ano dorama moEven that drama everyone says is a real tearjerker
Kimi to tsumuida omoidetachi ni wajust doesn’t stand a chance against
Kanawanai mitai da yothe memories I’ve woven together with you.
Moshimo kimi to deau no ga mottoIf we’d only met later on,
Otona ni natte kara datta ra saafter we’d grown into proper adults,
Kitto bokurathen I’m sure we
Chigau ending ocould’ve reached
Mukaerareta ka naa different kind of ending.
Kimi no mainichi to boku no mainichiI thought your daily life and mine
Itsuka kasanaru to omotte itawould overlap into one eventually;
Ima mo tsuki ga kirei da yoeven now, ‘the moon is beautiful’ (I love you).
Kimi no hou ga igai toUnexpectedly, you were actually the one
Heya chirakashitariwho’d leave the room a mess,
Futon ni kurumatteor stay curled up in the duvet
Hirun sugi kara dekakete bakari dattauntil we finally headed out way past noon.
Saisho ni choki o dasu no gaAlways throwing ‘scissors’ (choki) first in ‘rock-paper-scissors’
Kimi no kuse da ttewas just a little habit of yours;
Iwanazu ni kachitsuzuketeI kept winning without saying a word,
Suneteru toko mo itoshikattaand I loved even the way you’d pout about it.
Kiseki to ka unmei to ka wakaranai kedoI don’t really get things like miracles or destiny,
Nantonaku dake do kimi to zuttobut I just had this feeling that I’d be
Irareru ki ga shite tan da yoby your side forever.
Moshimo kimi to deau no ga mottoIf we’d only met later on,
Otona ni natte kara datta ra saafter we’d grown into proper adults,
Kitto bokurathen I’m sure we
Chigau ending ocould’ve reached
Mukaerareta ka naa different kind of ending.
Kimi no mainichi to boku no mainichiI thought your daily life and mine
Itsuka kasanaru to omotte itawould overlap into one eventually…
Ima moeven now.
Hitori ja shitakunai koto datteEven the things I’d never want to do alone
Kimi to da kara tokubetsu ni natteturned into something special just because I was with you;
Okashii yo neit’s funny, really.

Dare yori kimi ga taisetsu dattaand you were more precious to me than anyone.
Ima made zutto arigatouThank you for everything, all this time.
