Kiritotta fusen nagamete waGazing at the sticky notes I’ve torn away,
Aoi jibun tsurete samayouttaI wandered around, bringing my naive past self along.
Tokenai kanawanaiIt won’t melt away, and it won’t come true,
Dekiru koto sagashiteas I keep searching for what I can actually do.
Motto umaku aruketa no kanaCould I have walked this path a little better?
Watashi o hakobu fuantei waThe instability that carries me forward,
Kiro ni hitori de tsuki hajimetastarted arriving alone at the crossroads.
Todoketai sakebitaiI want to reach you, I want to scream out loud.
Omoidake nokoshiteLeaving only my feelings behind,
Futto uite shimatta noI suddenly found myself drifting away.
Sugisatte yuku ima ni (Matteru yo)In this passing present… (I’m waiting for you!)
Kakusareta mirai (Itsudemo ii yo)The hidden future awaits… (Whenever you’re ready!)
Tochuu gesha shita kokoro niInto my heart that stepped off halfway,
Ashi tsuke kutsu haki hashiruI plant my feet, lace up my shoes, and start running.
