Kanji/Translation

作詩：水野良樹 作曲：水野良樹

心の穴を埋めたいから　優しいフリして笑った
出会いと別れがせわしく　僕の肩を駆けて行くよ
because i wanted to bury the hole in my heart, i gave a gentle smile
the unpredictable meetings and farewells keep me going forward

ダメな自分が悔しいほど　わかってしまうから損だ
強くはなりきれないから　ただ目をつぶって耐えてた
i regret being so useless, its bad because i know it
as i can’t become any stronger, i just endured on with my eyes closed

ほら　見えてくるよ
look, i can almost see it now

帰りたくなったよ　君が待つ街へ
大きく手を振ってくれたら　何度でも振り返すから
帰りたくなったよ　君が待つ家に
聞いて欲しい話があるよ　笑ってくれたら嬉しいな
now i want to go back to the town where you are waiting
because you waved at me with your big hand, because i just keep going back
now i want to go back to the house where you are waiting
there are words from you i’d like to hear, because you smiled at me i am happy

たいせつなことは数えるほど　あるわけじゃないんだ　きっと
くじけてしまう日もあるけど　泣き出すことなんて　もうない
even as i recount the important events, it doesn’t mean they’re still there, surely
even though there are days i feel crushed, i no longer do something like shedding tears

ほら　見えてくるよ
look, i can almost see it now

伝えたくなったよ　僕が見る明日を
大丈夫だよってそう言うから　何度でも繰り返すから
伝えたくなったよ　変わらない夢を
聞いて欲しい話があるよ　うなずいてくれたら嬉しいな
now i want to tell you about the tomorrow that i see
because you said it’ll be okay, because you keep saying it
now i want to tell you about my unchanged dreams
there are words i want to hear but if you just gave a nod i would be happy

帰りたくなったよ　君が待つ街へ
かけがえのないその手に今　もう一度伝えたいから
帰りたくなったよ　君が待つ家に
聞いて欲しい話があるよ　笑ってくれたら嬉しいな
now i want to go back to the town where you are waiting
in your irreplaceable hands now i want to say once again
now i want to go back to the house where you are waiting
there are words i want to hear but if you just gave a smile i would be happy
