Description "I'm right here."

Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
ただ　ただ息を続ける	tada tada iki o tsuzukeru	I'm just simply continuing to breathe.
なぜ　なぜって言われたってわかんない	naze nazette iwaretatte wakannai	"Oh why? Oh why," you ask yet I dunno.
そんなん知ったって意味なくて	sonnan shittatte imi nakute	There wouldn't be a point in knowing that, anyway.
選んだって終わりが未来だって　ねぇ	erandatte owari ga mirai datte nee	The end's in my future no matter what, hey.
はじまりはあの夏の日	hajimari wa ano natsu no hi	It all started on that summer day,
迷い込んだ街	mayoikonda machi	when I got lost in this town.
わけわかんないままそれを飲み干して	wake wakannai mama sore o nomihoshite	Not knowing why, I simply downed it,
「疲れた」って座り込んだアスファルトの上	“tsukareta” tte suwarikonda asufaruto no ue	saying "I'm tired", while sitting on the asphalt road.
ただ　ただ息を続ける	tada tada iki o tsuzukeru	I'm just simply continuing to breathe.
なぜ　なぜって言われたってわかんない	naze nazette iwaretatte wakannai	"Oh why? Oh why," you ask yet I dunno.
そんなん知りたくもないやって	sonnan shiritakumonai yatte	Thinking that "I wouldn't want to know it anyway"
そう思っとけば楽になれる気がして	sou omottokeba raku ni nareru ki ga shite	makes me feel at ease.
ねぇ　ねぇ　僕はここにいる	nee nee boku wa koko ni iru	Hey, hey, I'm right here.
なぜ　なぜ　意味の無い世界	naze naze imi no nai sekai	Oh why, oh why, is this world so meaningless?
ラムネ色満たしたこの水槽で	ramuneiro mitashita kono suisou de	In this tank full of ramune-colored water,
君の名前をたしかに呼ぶ声	kimi no namae o tashikani yobu koe	a voice can surely be heard calling your name.
やがて花のように散る生命と	yagate hana no youni chiru seimei to	Life, withering like a flower and
孤独を咲うようなその引力で今は	kodoku o warau youna sono inryoku de ima wa	that affinity like a smile blooming at solitude, right now—
ただ　ただいま言うたびに	tada tadaima iu tabi ni	When I say I'm back,
誰？　誰？って問いかけるのやめてよ	dare? dare? tte toikakeru no yamete yo	stop asking "who are you?"
そんなん知ったこっちゃないやって	sonnan shittakotchanai yatte	Thinking "I don't even know or care about that",
そう思っとけば楽になれる気がして	sou omottokeba raku ni nareru ki ga shite	would make me feel more at ease anyway.
ただ　ただ息を続ける	tada tada iki o tsuzukeru	I'm just simply continuing to breathe.
なぜ　なぜって言われたってわかんない	naze nazette iwaretatte wakannai	"Oh why? Oh why," you ask yet I dunno.
そんなん知ったって意味なくて	sonnan shittatte imi nakute	There wouldn't be a point in knowing that, anyway.
選んだって終わりが未来だって	erandatte owari ga mirai datte	The end's in my future no matter what.
懐かしさ胸をかすめてく	natsukashisa mune o kasumeteku	Nostalgia's grazing against my heart.
この哀は誰のもの？ねぇ	kono ai wa dare no mono? nee	Just whose sadness is this? Tell me.
わかんないない思い出したくて	wakannai nai omoidashitakute	I don't know, no; but I want to remember.
このまんま終わるのは寂しくて	kono manma owaru no wa samishikute	I don't want it to end like this; it'll feel so lonely.
ねぇ　ねぇ　僕はここにいる	nee nee boku wa koko ni iru	Hey, hey, I'm right here.
なぜ　なぜ　それは新世界？	naze naze sore wa shinsekai?	Oh why? Oh why? Is that a new world?
ただ　ただ…	tada tada…	I'm just, simply...
ただ　ただ…	tada tada…	I'm just, simply...
なぜ　なぜ…	naze naze…	Oh why? Oh why..?
なぜ　なぜ…	naze naze…	Oh why? Oh why..?
懐かしさ胸をかすめてく	natsukashisa mune o kasumeteku	Nostalgia's grazing against my heart.
このアイは誰のもの？ねぇ	kono ai wa dare no mono? nee	Just whose sadness is this? Tell me.
わかんないない思い出したくて	wakannai nai omoidashitakute	I don't know, no; but I want to remember.
このまんま終わるのは寂しくて	kono manma owaru no wa samishikute	I don't want it to end like this; it'll feel so lonely.
ラムネ色満たしたこの水槽で	ramuneiro mitashita kono suisou de	In this tank full of ramune-colored water,
君の名前をたしかに呼ぶ声	kimi no namae o tashika ni yobu koe	a voice can surely be heard calling your name.
やがて花のように散る生命と	yagate hana no youni chiru seimei to	Life, withering like a flower and
孤独を咲うようなその引力で今は	kodoku o warau youna sono inryoku de ima wa	that affinity like a smile blooming at solitude, right now—
