Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
覚えてる？ あの日のあのこと	oboeteru? ano hi no ano koto	Do you remember? On that day,
夏風が吹いた空は 遠い街と同じ	natsukaze ga fuita sora wa tooi machi to onaji	the summer breeze blew in the sky, it was the same from the distant town
覚えてる？ あんな約束も	oboeteru? anna yakusoku mo	Do you remember? That kind of promise too,
錆びれていたとしても 捨てられやしないのさ	sabirete ita to shite mo suterareyashinai no sa	even if it were to rust, I can't throw it away
変わらずに憂いていて	kawarazu ni ureite ite	If I were to continue wallowing in sorrow,
変われずに置き去りなんて	kawarezu ni okizari nante	if the string of abandonment were to continue
そんな最後 寂しいんだよ	sonna saigo sabishii nda yo	then I would've only been lonely
息を忘れてしまうくらい美しい青は	iki o wasurete shimau kurai utsukushii ao wa	Even if the world had ended, the breathtaking, lovely blue
世界が終わったって 綺麗に映るけど	sekai ga owatta tte kirei ni utsuru kedo	was reflected so beautifully, yet
いまも苦しいくらい愛おしく思うのは	ima mo kurushii kurai itooshiku omou no wa	even now, the reason I had cherished it so painfully
あなたがあなたのままでいられた頃	anata ga anata no mama de irareta koro	is because of the moments when you were staying true to yourself
覚えてる？ あの日のあのこと	oboeteru? ano hi no ano koto	Do you remember? On that day,
雲の上を歩いて 空想の中へ	kumo no ue o aruite kuusou no naka e	we walk above the clouds, into a daydream
覚えてる？ あんな結末を	oboeteru? anna ketsumatsu o	Do you remember? That sort of conclusion?
描き飽きてしまった しがない結末を	egaki akite shimatta shiganai ketsumatsu o	How you grew tired of drawing that worthless conclusion?
拙くたって綴った	tsutanaku tatte tsuzutta	Even though it was crude, I wrote it
ただ想いを閉じ込めていた	tada omoi o tojikomete ita	with just these locked-up thoughts of mine
自分勝手なあなたを見たい	jibungatte na anata o mitai	I long to see you, with your selfishness
息を忘れてしまうくらい甘い夢ならば	iki o wasurete shimau kurai amai yume naraba	If it were a dream, so sweet it's breathtaking,
あなたはいまもまだ 光を追いかけたかな	anata wa ima mo mada hikari o oikaketa kana	then I wonder, are you still chasing that light?
仕方がないんだと言い聞かせたんだよな	shikata ga nai nda to iikikaseta nda yo na	“It can't be helped,” I told myself, isn’t it so?
そんな強さなら いらないと思うけれど	sonna tsuyosa nara iranai to omou keredo	"I don't need that strength," that was what I believed
息を忘れてしまうくらい美しい青は	iki o wasurete shimau kurai utsukushii ao wa	Even if the world had ended, the breathtaking, lovely blue
世界が終わったって 綺麗に映るから	sekai ga owatta tte kirei ni utsuru kara	was reflected so beautifully,
いまも苦しいくらい愛おしく思ってしまう	ima mo kurushii kurai itooshiku omotte shimau	even now, I had cherished it so painfully
息を忘れてしまうくらい美しい青が	iki o wasurete shimau kurai utsukushii ao ga	Even if the breathtaking, lovely blue
あなたを襲ったって どうにもならなくて	anata o osotta tte dounimo naranakute	attacked you, it can't be helped
こんな寂しさで音色を奏でて	konna sabishisa de neiro o kanadete	so I’ll play this tone with such loneliness,
あなたの元まで届くことを祈ってる	anata no moto made todoku koto o inotteru	praying it will carry onward to where you are.
