Kanji:

見慣れた町を背に　時間と共に離れる

本当は怖かった　あの日と別れそうで　Fum

あなたは大きな声で　「頑張れ」と言葉で押す

その声は震えていて　泣いてるとすぐに分かった

僕の影を通り抜けた風を探し

涙溢れるから　背中で歩き出して小さく手を振っていた

子供に戻れるなら　この気持ち投げたい

一つ前は平気だった　今の針に刺されて痛む

車窓に映る景色は　それまでと違う顔でいる

僕の目にはその全てが　愛しくて遠く見える

少しずつ僕の町は故郷になる　

僕の影を通り抜けた風が新しい

痛みが溢れ出して　滲み出す腫れた音　身体中が剥がれてく

いつかは消えてるだろう　でも放したくない

別れの最後の日に　父さんは「またな」と言った

そういえばありがとうって　伝えるの忘れていた

また涙溢れ出して　抑えたはずの声が　思い出と側を見てる

大人の嘘借りても　答えは変わらない

誰もが人を背に　歩き出すあたたかいエゴ

あなたでも手探った日々　そこに立って手を繋げた

English:

Leaving behind a familiar city, I get further away with each passing second.

To tell the truth, I was scared. It seemed I was saying farewell to that day.

You urge me along, shouting the words, “Go for it!”

Your voice is trembling—I realized immediately that you were crying.

I’m searching for the wind that passed through my shadow then.

The tears flow and I rely on your encouragement to walk forward, 

meekly waving my hand.

If I could just be a kid again, I’d love to abandon this feeling.

I was fine just a moment ago… 

I feel the pain as I’m pierced by the ticking hands of the present.

The scenery reflected in the train window has a completely new expression.

Everything before my eyes right now seems so preciously distant.

Little by little, “my city” becomes “my home town”. 

There’s a new wind passing through my shadow.

The pain begins to flow. 

An oozing, swollen sound peels away throughout my body.

It will probably fade away completely someday… but I don’t want to let it go.

On the day we parted ways, my father said, “See you later”.

I just realized, I forgot to tell him “Thank you”. 

The tears start flowing again and the voice I thought I’d kept in check 

is beside me, with my memories, simply watching.

Even if I adopt the lies adults always use, it won’t change the answer.

Every time we embark on a journey, 

someone’s warm intentions support us from behind.

There are days you too have been searching for. 

Standing in this new place, I’ve joined hands with you.
