WANIMA - Best you Lyrics (Romaji)

Romanized Lyrics

Surikireru hodo egaku mirai ni
Fuyukai na mama jikan ga tatta
Furikireru hodo chikara mo nakute mou

Yogiru fuan ni me wo tojite
Hitotsu no koto ni atama wo kakaete
Ate no nai konton kara
Nannimo nai tokoro kara hajimatta

Toki ni tamerai borokuso ni yarareta kinou
Ima kara nejikomu no sa gyutto
Sore ijou naraba Best you
Sore ika naraba Test you
Nani wo omou ka na nani wo nozomu ka na
Toki ni nagaku kanjiru jikan wa atto iu ma ni
Hibi wo terashi kagayakidasu kibou
Saigo no natsu ga owaru sonna ki ga shite
Onaji sora wo miageteta

Enjikitte gomakasu egao ni
Zenbu hake yo to mata tsubuyaita
Anki shita you na serufu ja nakute mou
Nobiru kage wo oikoshite
Kaoru kaze ni gairoju ga yuraide
Haiiro kara awai karaa
Iro no nai sekai suki ni nuritsubusu no sa

Wasurenai yo sotto hiraita mado ni sashita hikari
Ima demo gendouryoku sa zutto
Shinkirou no saki tatsu
Touhikou aogu tenkuu
Doko ni iru no ka na doko de miteru ka na
Sagashi samayou kurai jikan wa atto iu ma ni
Imi wo tsunagi kasanaridasu kibou
Saigo no natsu ga owaru to shitteta nara
Boku ni nani ga dekita ka na

Kotaeawase nara saigo de ii kara
Kodoku no naka de wazato nazotta
Owarinaku tsuzukun darou
Nando datte

Toki ni tamerai borokuso ni yarareta kinou
Ima kara nejikomu no sa gyutto
Sore ijou naraba Best you
Sore ika naraba Test you
Ima wo taeru nara soba de matteiru kara
Toki ni nagaku kanjiru jikan wa atto iu ma ni
Hibi wo terashi kagayakidasu kibou
Saigo no natsu ga owaru to shitta toki
Kimi wa shizuka ni naiteita
Ikutsu ni nattemo zutto zutto oboeteru
Onaji sora wo miageteta

English Lyrics

A future I've pictured 'til it's frayed and worn
Time kept on passing in this bitter haze
With no strength left to even break away

I close my eyes to the anxiety that flashes past
My head is spinning over just one thing
From a chaos with no address
From a place of emptiness, it all began

That yesterday of doubt, when I was beaten black and blue
I'll force my way through now, with all my might
Anything more than that is the Best you
Anything less than that will Test you
What do I think? What do I long for?
The time that can feel so long, passes in a flash
And a hope begins to shine, lighting up my days
Feeling like that was the end of our last summer
We were looking up at the same sky

To the acted-out smile I use to get by
"Just spit it all out," I muttered to myself
No more lines that sound like they've been memorized
I race to overtake the lengthening shadows
The fragrant wind sways the trees along the street
From gray into a softer color
I'll paint this colorless world however I please

I'll never forget the light that streamed through the window I opened
Even now, it's my driving force, forever
Standing beyond the mirage's haze
An escape, a sky to gaze upon
Where could you be? Are you watching from somewhere?
The dark hours spent lost and searching pass in a flash
As hope connects the dots, its layers start to grow
If I had known that our last summer would end
What more could I have done for you?

We can check the answers at the very end
In my solitude, I retraced it all on purpose
Knowing it would go on without an end
Again and again

That yesterday of doubt, when I was beaten black and blue
I'll force my way through now, with all my might
Anything more than that is the Best you
Anything less than that will Test you
If you can endure this now, I'll be waiting by your side
The time that can feel so long, passes in a flash
And a hope begins to shine, lighting up my days
The moment I knew that our last summer would end
You were crying, silent tears
No matter how old I get, I'll remember it forever
We were looking up at the same sky

Japanese Lyrics

擦り切れるほど描く未来に
不愉快なまま時間が経った
振り切れるほど力もなくてもう

よぎる不安に目を閉じて
一つのことに頭を抱えて
宛のない混沌から
何にもないところから始まった

時にためらいボロクソにやられた昨日
今からねじ込むのさ ギュッと
それ以上ならばBest you
それ以下ならばTest you
何を思うかな 何を望むかな
時に長く感じる時間はあっという間に
日々を照らし輝き出す希望
最後の夏が終わる そんな気がして
同じ空を見上げてた

演じきって誤魔化す笑顔に
全部吐けよとまた呟いた
暗記したような台詞じゃなくてもう
伸びる影を追い越して
香る風に街路樹が揺らいで
灰色から淡いカラー
色のない世界 好きに塗り潰すのさ

忘れないよ そっと開いた窓に射した光
今でも 原動力さ ずっと
蜃気楼の先 立つ
逃避行 仰ぐ天空
どこに居るのかな どこで見てるかな
探し彷徨う暗い時間はあっという間に
意味を繋ぎ 重なり出す希望
最後の夏が終わると知ってたなら
僕に何が出来たかな

答え合わせなら最後でいいから
孤独の中でわざとなぞった
終わりなく続くんだろう
何度だって

時にためらいボロクソにやられた昨日
今からねじ込むのさ ギュッと
それ以上ならばBest you
それ以下ならばTest you
今を耐えるなら そばで待っているから
時に長く感じる時間はあっという間に
日々を照らし輝き出す希望
最後の夏が終わると知った時
君は静かに泣いていた
幾つになってもずっとずっと覚えてる
同じ空を見上げてた
