| 戻らない日が暮れ 追いつかない明日がくる 空は僕らが思ってた よりずっとずっと広い 言葉にならない 自分の気持ち 気持ちを伝えきれない 言葉 胸の奥にある 本当の自分を わざと隠してるんじゃないよ ほっといてもかならず太陽はのぼる そうだからこそ理想の景色にあえるように 今、僕になにができる？ 「がんばりやさんだけれど がんばりすぎないでね」 君に言われた言葉は 今も胸に響いて 僕の弱いところ 気付かれてしまうと 静かで 小さな痛みになる どっかで隠れてる 本当の自分を わざと隠してるんじゃない 明日の背中しか見えないよ 呼びかけても振り向いてくれないのに 見守られてる気がしたんだ 未来は変えられるのか 変えられないか？ 変えようとすることを 僕は諦めない 明日を追いかけていたら その明日は昨日になって 自分の背中を 見送ってくれてたんだ This is my time... やっとわかった だめな僕も だめじゃない僕も ずっとずっと繋がってたんだ |

Unable to go back, the day is ending. Unable to catch up, tomorrow is coming. We thought of the sky, always, always growing wider. My feelings can't be put into words, words can't convey such feelings. The real me resting in my heart, I'm not hiding him intentionally. Even if alone, the sun will definitely rise. Yeah, that's why this landscape is so perfect. Now, what am I to do? "Try your best, but don't try too hard, ok?" Those words you told me still echo in my heart. When they notice my weaknesses, there's a quiet, small pain. The real me hiding somewhere, I'm not hiding him intentionally. Tomorrow's back is all I can see. I call out to it, but it won't turn around. I feel like I'm being watched. What can change the future? Can it not change? I'm trying to change it. I won't give up. Chasing after tomorrow, tomorrow is becoming yesterday. I'll watch my own back go by. This is my time... I finally understand. I'm useless, I'm not useless. I've been connected all along, all along. |
