Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
僕を連れてって	boku o tsuretette	Take me with you
浸み込んでしまう前に	shimikonde shimau mae ni	before I get soaked through.
見えないまま掴みたいとか	mienai mama tsukamitai toka	It's not like I can grab hold of something I can’t see,
どうせ叶わないからさ	douse kanawanai kara sa	even if I want to.
手はずっと濡れていて	te wa zutto nurete ite	My hands were always soaking wet.
いつか落としてしまうこと	itsuka otoshite shimau koto	I still hadn't realized
まだ気付いてなかった	mada kizuitenakatta	what I’d end up dropping some day.

細かい雨が目に浸みるのも	komakai ame ga me ni shimiru no mo	The way the drizzle soaks through to my eyes and
湿った息が喉に詰まるのも	shimetta iki ga nodo ni tsumaru no mo	my breath is so damp it gets caught in my throat—
容にならないものを背負った僕は	katachi ni naranai mono o shoutta boku wa	burdening myself with these shapeless things
案外楽だったのかもしんないな	angai raku datta no kamo shinnai na	might be easier than I thought it’d be.

声になれなかった分だけ	koe ni narenakatta bun dake	The one thing I couldn’t bring myself to voice
目の前で邪魔している霧雨に	me no mae de jama shite iru kirisame ni	is clouding my vision in the misty rain.
傘を翳して逃げ惑いたいよ	kasa o kazashite nigemado itai yo	I want to hide under my umbrella and try to make my escape.

僕を連れてって	boku o tsuretette	Take me with you
浸み込んでしまう前に	shimikonde shimau mae ni	before I get soaked through.
見えないままやられちゃうとか	mienai mama yararechau toka	They could try and kill me while I still can’t see a thing
どうにも出来ないからさ	dou ni mo dekinai kara sa	and there’s nothing I could do about it.
離せない手はずっと濡れていて	hanasenai te wa zutto nurete ite	My hands that can’t let go have always been soaking wet.
いつか落としてしまうこと	itsuka otoshite shimau koto	I still hadn't realized
まだ気付いてなかった	mada kizuitenakatta	what I’d end up dropping some day.

浸るいつかの悴んだ手も	hitaru itsuka no kajikanda te mo	My submerged hands that eventually went numb with cold,
食わず嫌いの飴玉も	kuwazugirai no amedama mo	and that candy I hate without ever having tried it,
窓越しの惨状も見てないことにしたまま	madogoshi no sanjou mo mitenai koto ni shita mama	and the catastrophe through the window too, I kept trying not to look at those things.
どうかどっか遠いとこへ	douka dokka tooi toko e	Please take me someplace far away
枯れた花が咲くとこへ	kareta hana ga saku toko e	to a place where a wilted flower can bloom.
わからないままそうやって	wakaranai mama sou yatte	All the while, not understanding a thing, I can hear
置いていく心の音	oite iku kokoro no oto	my heart being left behind.

冷たい雨が目に浸みるのも	tsumetai ame ga me ni shimiru no mo	The cold rain that soaked through to my eyes and
湿った息が頬にぶつかるのも	shimetta iki ga hoo ni butsukaru no mo	my dampened breath beating against my cheeks—
全部　全部　わからないままの僕は	zenbu zenbu wakaranai mama no boku wa	Still not understanding any of it, any of it
心のひびを満たしていくんだ	kokoro no hibi o mitashite ikun da	I fill up the crack in my heart.

水溜まりができないうちに	mizutamari ga dekinai uchi ni	Before a puddle can form
傘を翳して世界を暈そうよ	kasa o kazashite sekai o bokasou yo	Let’s hold up an umbrella and shade the world

僕を連れてって	boku o tsuretette	Take me with you
浸み込んでしまう前に	shimikonde shimau mae ni	before I get soaked through.
見えないまま掴みたいとか	mienai mama tsukamitai toka	It's not like I can grab hold of something I can’t see,
どうせ叶わないからさ	douse kanawanai kara sa	even if I want to.
手はずっと濡れていて	te wa zutto nurete ite	My hands are always soaking wet.
いつか落としてしまうこと	itsuka otoshite shimau koto	I never realized
ずっと気付けなかった	zutto kizukenakatta	what I’d end up dropping some day.

僕を連れてって	boku o tsuretette	Take me with you
浸み込んでしまう前に	shimikonde shimau mae ni	before I get soaked through.
見えないままやられちゃうとか	mienai mama yararechau toka	They could try and kill me while I still can’t see a thing
どうにも出来ないからさ	dou ni mo dekinai kara sa	and there’s nothing I could do about it.
離せない手はずっと濡れていて	hanasenai te wa zutto nurete ite	My hands that can’t let go have always been soaking wet.
いつか失くしてしまうこと	itsuka nakushite shimau koto	I wanted to come to the realization now
今、気付きたかった	ima, kizukitakatta	of what I’d be losing some day.

細かい雨が目に浸みるのも	komakai ame ga me ni shimiru no mo	The way the drizzle soaks through to my eyes and
湿った息が喉に詰まるのも	shimetta iki ga nodo ni tsumaru no mo	my breath is so damp it gets caught in my throat—
全部　全部　わからないままの僕が	zenbu zenbu wakaranai mama no boku ga	I still don’t understand everything, everything
心のひびを任せきった所為だ	kokoro no hibi o makasekitta sei da	is my own fault for leaving the crack in my heart for someone else to fill.

Take me with you before you get soaked.
After all, it’s not like you can hold me when you can’t see me.
Your hands were always sopping wet. You hadn’t yet realised
that you’d someday drop me.

With beads of rain soaking into my eyes
and my damp breath sticking in my throat,
I was burdened with formless things
and maybe I was the one at ease. How unexpected.

The drizzle is bothering me as much as my unspoken words.
I want to try and escape with my umbrella held aloft.

Take me with you before you get soaked.
After all, it’s not like you can do anything about getting done in when you can’t see me.
Your hands, unable to let go, were wet the whole time. You hadn’t yet realised
that you’d someday drop me.

I pretended I hadn’t seen your numb, soaked hands,
the candy I hated without trying, and the awful sight outside my window.
Please, take me somewhere far away, where withered flowers bloom.
You did that without understanding. This is the sound of my heart being left behind.

The cold rain soaks into my eyes
and my wet breath beats against my cheek.
I still don’t understand any of them
and I’m filling in the cracks in my heart.

While there’s no puddles
let’s raise our umbrellas and shade the world!

Take me with you before you get soaked.
After all, it’s not like you can hold me when you can’t see me.
Your hands were always sopping wet. All along, you didn’t realise
that you’d someday drop me.

Take me with you before you get soaked.
After all, it’s not like you can do anything about getting done in when you can’t see me.
Your hands, unable to let go, were wet the whole time. I wanted to realise
that I’d someday lose you.

The beads of rain soak into my eyes
and my damp breath sticks in my throat.
It’s because I, unable to understand any of them,
left the cracks in my heart to someone else.
