Romanized Lyrics

Denwachou no naka no hito ga sukoshizutsu shindeittari
Yuiitsu ikitsuke no izakaya wa tsubure hen na mise ni kawattari

Anna ni suki datta hito ga kekkon shite kodomo mo umaretari
Sono go single mother ni nari hisashiburi ni renraku ga kitari

ATM made itte kane kashita kyakuhonka no kare wa ima ya urekko dakedo
Ano toki no nakenashi no gosen en wa mada kaette kite nakattari

Ikiterya iroiro aru yo na
Ikiterya iroiro aru yo naa sorya sou da yo naa
Sorya souiu mon da na

Dachi no hara ni gan ga mitsukari nanka yake ni kurattari
Itsu shinde mo ii toka itteta ore mo kensa ni itte mitari

Shou san datta ano namaiki na shinyuu no kodomo wa ima ja
Koukou ni agari oya no kane kusune kondoomu katteitari

Kono pace de toki ga sugiru nara hitoribocchi de shinu kanousei ga genjitsumi wo obite
Hito shirezu potsun to shinu nara natsuba wa iya da na nante omottari

English Lyrics

The names in my phone's contact list slowly start to die
My one and only favorite bar went under, became some strange new place

The person I was so in love with got married, even had a kid
Then she became a single mom and hit me up out of the blue

That screenwriter I lent cash to at an ATM is a big shot now, but
He still hasn't paid back that last 5,000 yen I had on me then

Yeah, life’s full of surprises, isn't it?
Yeah, life's full of surprises... I mean, of course it is
That’s just the way it goes

My best friend found out he has cancer, and it hit me way too hard
So I, the guy who said he could die anytime, even went to get a check-up

My best friend's cheeky kid, who was just in third grade back then
Is in high school now, stealing his folks' cash to go and buy condoms

If time keeps flying by this fast, the chance I'll die alone feels more and more real
And I find myself thinking, if I'm gonna go unnoticed, I'd rather it not be in the summer

Yeah, life’s full of surprises, isn't it?
Yeah, life’s full of surprises...

I bet whatever comes next will blow my imagination away

I get it now, there's no "forever," "always," or "for a lifetime"
So please, just for a little longer... hey, just let me stay right here

I know I'm the kind of screw-up who only gets it once something's gone
If that's true, how many more times do I have to lose myself before I learn?

You're gone, and yet you're not gone at all... Hey, why is that?

The guys I started that band with back then have almost all quit
The trend now is singing and dancing, or hip-hop dominating the scene

The days with no "I'm home" or "welcome back" make up more than half my life
So I tell myself, "But look at all the joy you got in exchange for that, right?"

"You know, there was a time when music was actually made by human hands"
And I find myself spouting off about wanting to make some incredible new music before that time comes

That's what it means to be alive, right?
That's just what it means to be alive, right?

I guess I just can't help but want to keep living like that

I get it now, there's no "forever," "always," or "for a lifetime"
So please, just for a little longer... hey, just let me stay right here

Even if "goodbye" is bound to come, the joy of having met you makes it all feel insane
I'll keep piecing myself together again and again, as many times as it takes

You're not here, and yet you're always, always here... Hey, why is that?

Finding out the owner of that favorite bar had taken his own life
And that he called me three days before he died, but I didn't pick up

Yeah, life’s full of surprises
Yeah, life’s full of surprises
Yeah, life’s full of surprises
Yeah, life’s full of surprises

Japanese Lyrics

電話帳の中の人が少しずつ死んでいったり
唯一行きつけの居酒屋は潰れ変な店に変わったり

あんなに好きだった人が結婚して子供も産まれたり
その後シングルマザーになり久しぶりに連絡がきたり

ATMまで行って金貸した脚本家の彼は今や売れっ子だけど
あの時のなけなしの5000円はまだ返ってきてなかったり

生きてりゃ 色々あるよな
生きてりゃ 色々あるよなぁ そりゃそうだよなぁ
そりゃそういうもんだな

ダチの腹に癌が見つかりなんかヤケに食らったり
いつ死んでもいいとか言ってた俺も検査に行ってみたり

小3だったあの生意気な親友の子供は今じゃ
高校にあがり親の金くすねコンドーム買っていたり

このペースで時が過ぎるなら一人ぼっちで死ぬ可能性が現実味を帯びて
人知れずぽつんと死ぬなら夏場は嫌だななんて思ったり

生きてりゃ 色々あるよな
生きてりゃ 色々あるよなぁ

きっとこれからだって想像をゆうに超えてこいや

「ずっと」とか「絶対」とか「一生」とかないのはもうわかったから
せめてもう少しだけこのままで ねぇこのままでいさせて

失ってからしか気づけないような出来損ないとわかってるんだ
それなら俺は 俺をあと何回無くせば気づけるんだろう

君はいないのに 全然いなくなんないのは ねぇなんでなんだろう

あの頃バンドを始めた仲間はほぼ辞めていたり
今の流行は歌って踊ったりヒップホップが占めていたり

「ただいま」も「おかえり」もない日々が人生の半分以上を占め
「それと引き換えに手にした喜びがあるじゃねぇかよ」なんて言い聞かしたり

「かつて音楽は人間の手によって作られた時代があったんだよ」なんてさ
そんな時代を前にまだ見ぬとんでもねぇ音楽を作りてぇなんざほざいたり

生きてるって そういうもんだろ
生きてるって そういうもんだろ

きっとこれからだって そうありたいと思っちまうのさ

「ずっと」とか「絶対」とか「一生」とかないのはもうわかったから
せめてもう少しだけこのままで ねぇこのままでいさせて

例え「さよなら」が来るとしても 出逢えた喜びでおかしくなんだ
俺は俺をあと何回だって 何回だって繋ぎ止めるよ

君はいないのに ずっとずっとここにいるのはねぇなんでなんだよ

あの行きつけの店の店長は自殺だったこと
死ぬ3日前連絡があったけど 出られなかったこと

生きてりゃ色々あるよな
生きてりゃ 色々あるよな
生きてりゃ色々あるよな
生きてりゃ 色々あるよな
