Romanized Lyrics

Houkago michikusa waraigoe
Chikamichi sagashite toomawari
Shippai nanka ichiichi kazoenakatta ano koro

Doro darake de mata ashita
Pokke no naka no suna wo atsumete
Kinou wa kitto tanoshikattandarou na

Itsukara ka itsukara da
Ii hito de inakya nante
Zutto doushiyou mo nai sonna kyuukutsu ni
Shibarareteitta?

Mayoi mo naku ikitekitatte ienai kedo boku datte
Ano roji no mukou ni uchuu ni me wo kagayakasete
Karakuchi no jinsei mo kitto supaisu datte ukeireteikunda
Ima shika dekinai koto ga shitai
Kuuzen wo katachi ni shite

Otona ni nanka naritaku wa nai
Sou omou no wa natta ato da na
Shippai bakka kitto kazoeteita ki ga suru

Nandakanda de nomikonda hibi
Pokke no naka no reshiito hirogete
Kinou mo chanto tanoshikattanda na

Itsumademo itsumademo
Kawashita namida de tsuyoku natteitta bokura nara
Sonna koto katte waraeru

Kitaichi ni kogasaretatte
Imeeji wa karasanai you ni
Musekinin na kotoba ni jibun wo miushinawanai you ni

Kokoro kara mukiatta kekka machigai no renzoku ga jinsei
Maboroshi no mukou ni bokura wa me wo kagayakasete
Nankai mo norikoete yatto tsukanda nara hanasanai you ni
Te wo nobashita sono saki ni aru
Bokura no mirai wo egaite

English Lyrics

Laughter on the long way home from school
Looking for a shortcut, we took the long way 'round
Back then, we never bothered counting every mistake

Covered in mud, a see you tomorrow
Gathering up the sand inside my pockets
Yesterday must have been a really good day

Since when? I wonder when it began
This feeling that I have to be a good person?
By this helpless, suffocating pressure
Did I let myself be bound?

I can't say I've lived a life without a doubt, but even so
I'd gaze beyond that alleyway, my eyes alive with stars
This bitter taste of life, I'll take it as a spice to savor
I want to do the things that I can only do right now
And give a shape to the unprecedented

I never want to become an adult
Is something you only think after you've become one
I have a feeling I was only counting all my failures

The days I swallowed, one way or another
Spreading out a receipt from my pocket
Last night was actually pretty fun, I see

Forever and for always
If it's us, who grew stronger from the tears we shared
We can laugh and say, Is that all it was?

Even if I'm burned by high expectations
I won't let my own vision run dry
I won't lose sight of myself in careless words

Life is the result of facing it all head-on: a series of mistakes
Beyond the phantom haze, our eyes are filled with light
If we fight and fight and finally grasp it, we can't let it go
What lies just beyond our outstretched hands...
Is where we'll paint the future that is ours

Japanese Lyrics

放課後道草笑い声
近道探して遠回り
失敗なんかいちいち数えなかったあの頃

泥だらけでまた明日
ポッケの中の砂を集めて
昨日はきっと楽しかったんだろうな

いつからかいつからだ
良い人でいなきゃなんて
ずっとどうしようもないそんな窮屈に
縛られていった?

迷いもなく生きてきたって 言えないけど僕だって
あの路地の向こうに 宇宙に目を輝かせて
辛口の人生もきっと スパイスだって受け入れていくんだ
今しかできない事がしたい
空前をカタチにして

大人になんかなりたくはない
そう思うのはなった後だな
失敗ばっかきっと数えていた気がする

なんだかんだで飲み込んだ日々
ポッケの中のレシート広げて
昨夜もちゃんと楽しかったんだな

いつまでもいつまでも
交わした涙で強くなっていった僕らなら
そんな事かって笑える

期待値に焦がされたって
イメージは枯らさないように
無責任な言葉に自分を見失わないように

心から向き合った結果 間違いの連続が人生
まぼろしの向こうに 僕らは目を輝かせて
何回も乗り越えてやっと 掴んだなら離さないように
手を伸ばしたその先にある
僕らの未来を描いて
