Yu Takahashi - End Roll Lyrics (Romaji)

Romanized Lyrics

Koko ni omae no ibasho wa nai no da to
Monzenbarai wo ukenagara
Fukisarashi no yubisaki chi ga nijimu
Katsute tsutsumikonde kureta ookina
Te no kanshoku wo omoidashite
Ato sukoshi dake tsuyoku ikiteyukitai

Zutto itami to te wo tsunaide
Sabishisa ni uchihishigarete
Itsu no hi ka mata anata ni aeru
Endorooru de wa minna waratteru
Monogatari no tsuzuki wo ikiteiru

Sonna wake nai ka to warainagara
Katasumi de shinji tsuzuke nagara
Moshi onaji koto omotteru nara
Doko ka de anata mo ima waratteru
Kono sekai de nani ga dekiru no darou

Saa~ bokura wa waraou ze
Arittake no ai wo komete

“Dame na hou ni kawatta” nante iwaretari
“Mou sukoshi kaware” to iwaretari
Namikaze tatezu ni ikiteyukitai
Dakedo kono mama ja owaritakunai to
Kokoro no naka de sakendeiru
Nani mo nai hibi de shinu no wo matsu dake ka?

Taiyou ga noboranakutemo
Tsumetakute kurai jidai demo
Saigo made utai tsuzuketai
Endingu songu nante kikoe ya shiya nai
Bokura ga teraseru yami ga aru hazu

Sorya kireigoto da to warawarenagara
Katasumi de shinji tsuzuke nagara
Daremo ga dareka terasu hikari
Doko ka de anata mo ima utatteru
Kono sekai de nani ga dekiru no darou

Ikiru dake de meiwaku da ne
Sonzai wo keshichau hou ga raku kamo ne raku darou ne

Aa~ dame datta mata dame datta
Iinagara nannen tacchimatta
Yameyou ka akirameyou ka
Mitai na uta wo utatte akasou ka

Zutto itami to te wo tsunaide
Sabishisa ni uchihishigarete
Itsu no hi ka mata anata ni aeru
Endorooru de wa minna waratteru
Monogatari no tsuzuki wo ikiteyuku

Iya na koto bakari no sekai demo
Kokoro ga odoru you na toki wo
Saigo made shinji tsuzuketai
Doko ka de anata mo ima aruiteru
Bokura ga teraseru yami ga aru hazu

Saa~ bokura wa waraou ze
Arittake no ai wo komete

English Lyrics

"There is no place for you here," is what they said
As I was turned away right at the gate
On wind-battered fingertips, blood starts to well
Remembering the feel of that large hand
That once held me in its gentle space
I want to live on, just a little bit stronger

Forever holding hands with all this pain
And beaten down by loneliness again
Believing I will see you again someday
In the end credits, everyone is smiling
Living out the story that goes on

Laughing, thinking "there's no way that's true"
While in a corner of my heart, I still hold on
If you are thinking the same thing I do
Then somewhere, you must be smiling now, too
What is it I can do here in this world?

So come on, let's all laugh out loud
And fill it with every bit of love we have

"You've really changed, and not for the better" they say
Or "You really ought to change a little more" they say
I just want to live without making any waves
But still, "I don't want it to end like this"
Is the scream I hear inside my heart
Am I just waiting to die in these empty days?

Even if the sun should fail to rise
Even in these cold and darkened times
I want to keep on singing 'til the very end
I don't hear any kind of ending song at all
There must be a darkness that we can light up

As they all laugh and say it's just a pretty thought
While in a corner of my heart, I still hold on
Every one of us is a guiding light
Somewhere, you must be singing now, too
What is it I can do here in this world?

Just by living, we're a burden, aren't we?
Maybe it'd be easier to just disappear. It would be, wouldn't it?

"Ah, I failed. I failed again"
How many years have passed while saying that?
"Should I quit? Should I give up?"
Maybe I'll sing that kind of song to pass the night?

Forever holding hands with all this pain
And beaten down by loneliness again
Knowing I will see you again someday
In the end credits, everyone is smiling
We'll go on living the story's next page

Even in a world so full of misery
Those moments that can make my spirit dance
I want to keep on believing 'til the very end
Somewhere, you are walking onward now, too
There must be a darkness that we can light up

So come on, let's all laugh out loud
And fill it with every bit of love we have

Japanese Lyrics

ここにお前の居場所はないのだと
門前払いを受けながら
吹きさらしの指先血が滲む
かつて包み込んでくれた大きな
手の感触を思い出して
あと少しだけ強く生きていきたい

ずっと痛みと手を繋いで
淋しさにうちひしがれて
いつの日かまたあなたに会える
エンドロールではみんな笑ってる
物語の続きを生きている

そんなわけないかと笑いながら
片隅で信じ続けながら
もし同じこと思ってるなら
どこかであなたもいま笑ってる
この世界で何が出来るのだろう

さぁぼくらは笑おうぜ
ありったけの愛を込めて

「ダメな方に変わった」なんて言われたり
「もう少し変われ」と言われたり
波風立てずに生きていきたい
だけどこのままじゃ終わりたくないと
心の中で叫んでいる
何もない日々で死ぬのを待つだけか?

太陽が昇らなくても
冷たくて暗い時代でも
最後まで唄い続けたい
エンディングソングなんて聴こえやしやない
ぼくらが照らせる闇があるハズ

そりゃ綺麗事だと笑われながら
片隅で信じ続けながら
誰もが誰か照らす光
どこかであなたもいま唄ってる
この世界で何が出来るのだろう

生きるだけで迷惑だね
存在を消しちゃう方が楽かもね 楽だろうね

あぁダメだった またダメだった
言いながら何年経っちまった
やめようか あきらめようか
みたいな歌を唄って明かそうか

ずっと痛みと手を繋いで
淋しさにうちひしがれて
いつの日かまたあなたに会える
エンドロールではみんな笑ってる
物語の続きを生きていく

嫌なことばかりの世界でも
心が躍るようなときを
最後まで信じ続けたい
どこかであなたもいま歩いてる
ぼくらが照らせる闇があるハズ

さぁぼくらは笑おうぜ
ありったけの愛を込めて
