Japanese	Romaji	English
要らない言葉、しない言葉	iranai kotoba shinai kotoba	Unnecessary words, words not said
投げて置いたピックを取って	nagete oita pikku o totte	I picked up a pick I had thrown away
外れた歌声、崩れた波声	hazureta utagoe, kuzureta namigoe	an off-sounding singing voice, the sound of breaking waves
未来の答えへ流されて	mirai no kotae e nagasarete	carried along towards the answer to the future
いつかの涙、色褪せた名札	itsuka no namida, iroaseta nafuda	tears once shed, a faded nametag
ゆらゆら揺れる夢の後ろ	yurayura yureru yume no ushiro	behind a swaying, unsteady dream
辺りの話、知らないめでたし	atari no hanashi, shiranai medetashi	neighbourhood talk, unknown happy ending
眠り続く手紙へ行こう	numuritsuzuku tegami e ikō	let's go to a letter that continues to sleep
無邪気を忘れた明日に	mujaki o wasureta ashita ni	To a future where innocence is forgotten
曖昧な声を上げていた	aimai na koe o agete ita	I shouted some ambiguous words
「考えてくれ」なんかを呟いた	"kangaete kure" nanka o tsubuyaita	"Think about it", I muttered
今日もヘッドフォンを上げてみて	kyō mo heddofon o agete mite	try picking up your headphones again today
名前、名前、つまり物語	namae, namae, tsumari monogatari	A name, a name, in other words a story
答え、答え、すべてを流せば	kotae, kotae, subete o nagaseba	an answer, an answer, if I let it all flow away
未来、未来、もう言えないことも	mirai, mirai, mō ienai koto mo	the future, the future, things I can no longer say
理解、理解、それはできるかな	rikai, rikai, sore wa dekiru ka na	can I understand, understand that?
したい、したい、我がままの歌を	shitai, shitai, wagamama no uta o	I want, I want to do a selfish song
見たい、見たい、それだけの有りを	mitai, mitai, sore dake no ari o	I want, I want to see, only that one's existence
旧態、旧態、気使わなくて	kyūtai, kyūtai, ki tsukawanakute	I don't care how it used to be
思ってみて目覚めて口を止まる	omotte mite mezamete kuchi o tomaru	I think about it, open my eyes and shut my mouth
聞こえないもの、また欲しいこと	kikoenai mono, mata hoshii koto	What I can't hear, what I want to do more of
終わりなども以下略して	owari nado mo ika ryaku shite	summarizing the ending etc. as follows
外れた歌声、崩れた波声	hazureta utagoe, kuzureta namigoe	an off-sounding singing voice, the sound of breaking waves
頭中の声さえ見なくて	atama naka no koe sae minakute	without even seeing the voice inside my head
日常の町、考えの落書き	nichijō no machi, kangae no rakugaki	the everyday town, sketches of ideas
昔話はしないラジオ	mukashibanashi wa shinai rajio	a radio that won't talk about the old days
辺りの話、知らないめでたし	atari no hanashi, shiranai medetashi	neighbourhood talk, unknown happy ending
揺れる声へ飛び込もう	yureru koe e tobikomō	I'll jump into the wavering voice
名前も無いハナガスミで	namae mo nai hanagasumi de	With a mist of distant unnamed cherry blossoms
リズムみたいことが溢れた	rizumu mitai koto ga afureta	something like a rhythm overflows
泣き虫の過去を以下略した	nakimushi no kako o ika ryaku shita	I summarized a crybaby's past as follows
あちこち離れた声を取って	achikochi hanareta koe o totte	catching voices scattered here and there
名前、名前、つまり物語	namae, namae, tsumari monogatari	A name, a name, in other words a story
答え、答え、すべてを流せば	kotae, kotae, subete o nagaseba	an answer, an answer, if I wash it all away
未来、未来、17年のことは	mirai, mirai, jūnananen no koto wa	the future, the future, being 17 years old
理解、理解、それはできるかな	rikai, rikai, sore wa dekiru ka na	can I understand, understand that?
したい、したい、我がままの歌を	shitai, shitai, wagamama no uta o	I want, I want to do a selfish song
見たい、見たい、それだけの有りを	mitai, mitai, sore dake no ari o	I want, I want to see, only that one's existence
旧態、旧態、気使わなくて	kyūtai, kyūtai, ki tsukawanakute	I don't care how it used to be
思ってみて目覚めて以下略しよう	omotte mite mezamete ika ryaku shiyō	thinking about it, waking up, I summarize it as follows
