Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
周りのみんなと同じ天使だと思っていた	mawari no minna to onaji tenshi da to omotte ita	I thought I was an angel just like everyone else
肌の色、輪の色、瞳も同じだった	hada no iro, wa no iro, hitomi mo onaji datta	My skin tone, the colour of my halo, and my eye colour; they were all the same
取り柄にすらなりえない「当たり前」をこなせる	torie ni sura narienai "atarimae" o konaseru	I thought I was an angel just like everyone else
周りのみんなと同じ天使だと思っていた	mawari no minna to onaji tenshi da to omotte ita	That could complete “standards” which can’t even be considered a trait
誰に習ってもいない賛美歌を歌って	dare ni naratte mo inai sanbika o utatte	Singing hymns no one taught me,
誰に習ってもいない飛び方で飛んでいる	dare ni naratte mo inai tobi kata de tonde iru	flying in ways no one taught me
じわり開いてく差に	jiwari hiraiteku sa ni	Without any concern for the gap
なんの疑いも持たずに	nan no utagai mo motazu ni	slowly increasing between us,
周りのみんなと同じ天使だと思っていた	mawari no minna to onaji tenshi da to omotte ita	I thought I was an angel just like everyone else
何度も励まされ	nando mo hagemasare	Many times I was encouraged,
何度も肩押され	nando mo kata osare	many times someone pushed my shoulder,
一聞いて十を知れと教わった	ichi kiite juu o shire to osowatta	I was taught to hear one thing and learn ten others
出来ない　出来ない	dekinai dekinai	I can’t do it, I can’t do it
みんな歩いている　遠ざかってゆく	minna aruite iru toozakatte yuku	Everyone is walking, getting further away
ああ　ふと気づいたらもう	aa futo kizuitara mou	Ah, by the time I realized—
やりたい事は　そんな大層じゃない	yaritai koto wa sonna taisou ja nai	What I want to do isn’t that big of a deal
置いてかれずに　ただそこに居たい	oitekarezu ni tada soko ni itai	I just want to keep up and not be left behind
ああ　そんな当たり前が出来ない	aa sonna atarimae ga dekinai	Ah, I can’t even do something so ordinary
天使は制服を脱ぎ	tenshi wa seifuku o nugi	The angels strip out of their (school) uniforms
背広上下に着替え	sebiro jouge ni kigae	and change into their suits
誰に習ってもいないのに暮らしている	dare ni naratte mo inai noni kurashite iru	They’re living even though no one taught them how
正しい「暮らし」が出来ず	tadashii "kurashi" ga dekizu	I couldn’t live “correctly,”
いつも散漫な仕事ぶり	itsumo sanmanna shigotoburi	I was always a mess at work,
周りのみんなと同じ事が出来なかった	mawari no minna to onaji koto ga dekinakatta	and I couldn’t do the same thing as everyone else
神様の設計ミスか	kamisama no sekkei misu ka	A design mistake by God
それともどっか落としたか	soretomo dokka otoshita ka	or maybe I dropped something along the way,
一聞いて十を知れと怒鳴られた	ichi kiite juu o shire to donarareta	I was scolded to hear one thing and learn ten others
出来ない　出来ない	dekinai dekinai	I can’t do it, I can’t do it
みんな歩いている　遠ざかってゆく	minna aruite iru toozakatte yuku	Everyone is walking, getting further away
ああ　ふと気づいたらもう	aa futo kizuitara mou	Ah, before I could realize—
見たい景色は　そんな大層じゃない	mitai keshiki wa sonna taisou ja nai	The view I want to see isn’t that big of a deal,
日曜18(ロク)時台のアニメくらいのもの	nichiyou rokujidai no anime kurai no mono	just something like the 18 o’clock Anime on Sundays
ああ　そんな当たり前が出来ない	aa sonna atarimae ga dekinai	Ah, I can’t even do something so ordinary
なあ　想像つくかい	naa souzou tsukukai	Hey, can you imagine
飛べない事　歌えぬ事	tobenai koto utaenu koto	not being able to fly, not being able to sing
やり方は分かっているのに	yarikata wa wakatte iru noni	Your body, being immobile like lead,
鉛みたいに身体が動かない事	namari mitai ni karada ga ugokanai koto	even though you know how to do it
湿気た羽　ばたつかせ	shiketa hane batatsukase	I thrash my dampened wings
ほこり撒き散らして	hokori maki chirashite	and spread dust everywhere
天使だか羽虫だか分からなくなって	tenshi da ka hamushi da ka wakaranaku natte	I become unable to tell if I’m an angel or a winged bug
それなのに心臓は勝手に動いている	sore nano ni shinzou wa katte ni ugoite iru	Yet my heart keeps beating on its own
腹も減る　欲も湧く	hara mo heru yoku mo waku	I’m hungry, desires well up, I need money,
金が要る　金が要る　ただ	kane ga iru kane ga iru tada	I need money, I just want to
暮らしたい　暮らしたい	kurashitai kurashitai	live, live
出来ない　出来ない	dekinai dekinai	I can’t do it, I can’t do it
みんな歩いている　遠ざかってゆく	minna aruite iru toozakatte yuku	Everyone is walking, getting further away
ああ　ふと気づいたらもう	aa futo kizuitara mou	Ah, before I could realize—
過ごしたい人生は　そんな大層じゃない	sugoshitai jinsei wa sonna taisou ja nai	The life I want to live isn’t that big of a deal
働き　遊び　たまに愛されたい	hataraki asobi tama ni aisaretai	I just want to work, have fun, and occasionally be loved
ああ　そんな当たり前が出来ない	aa sonna atarimae ga dekinai	Ah, I can’t even do something so ordinary
周りのみんなのように生きられると思っていた	mawari no minna no you ni ikirareru to omotte ita	I thought I would be able to live just like everyone else
