いつだって僕は 君の髪の毛を撫でたいと思った
I've always wanted to stroke your hair, you know?
その声はいつか消えてしまうからさ
Because that voice will someday fade away.
明日の世界がまた少し近づくたびに僕は
Each time tomorrow's world edges a little closer to me,
残された今日を感じ くしゃみをする
I feel the remnants of today and let out a sneeze.
照りだした太陽 逃げ水で濡れた道路を歩いた
The sun shone bright as I walked the wet road of mirage.
不思議なくらいの静けさに塗れて
Drenched in an oddly profound silence,
過ぎ去ってしまった日々は二度と戻らないと知った
I learned that the days gone by will never return.
あの日の記憶も 遠く触れないまま
The memories of that day linger just out of reach.

What is there to be sad about?
これほど明るい陽の射し込む場所で
In a place where the sunlight shines so brightly,
何を疑うことがある？
What is there to doubt?
隣にいつも君がいるのに
Even though you're always right next to me
生きていけば今 生きていくほど
The more I live now, the more I feel
さわれないものが増える
That there are things I can't touch
何も手に入れちゃいないのに
Even though I haven't gained anything
失くしていく気がするんだ
I feel like I'm losing more
どうして
Why is that?
いつだって僕は 君の髪の毛を撫でたいと思った
I've always wanted to caress your hair
その声はいつか消えてしまうからさ
Because that voice will someday fade away
「明日の世界も同じように生きていられるのかな」
"Will I be able to live in tomorrow's world the same way?"
蜃気楼の中で昨日の僕が言う
In the mirage, yesterday's me says,
何を怖がることがある？
What is there to be afraid of?
奪いも与えもできない癖に
Though you can't take or give anything,
何を求めることがある？
What is there to desire?
隣にいつも君がいるのに
Even though you're always right beside me,
近づけば今 近づくほど
The closer I get, the more
知らない君が増える
Strange sides of you appear.
何もいらないさ いらないのに
I don't need anything, I say I don't need it,
物足りない気がするんだ
Yet I feel something's missing,
どうして
Why?
どんだけ確かめてみたって
No matter how much I try to confirm it,
どんだけ呼びかけてみたって
No matter how much I call out to you,
いつだって君はそこにいて
You’re always there,
微笑んでくれるのに
Smiling at me.
僕たちが生きるここは今
The place we live in now,
失望で満ちているだなんて
Is filled with disappointment, they say.
そんなこと言いたくはないんだ
I don’t want to say such things.
それだけさ 本当さ
That’s all there is, it's true.
どんだけ確かめてみたって
No matter how much I try to confirm it,
どんだけ呼びかけてみたって

いつだって君はそこにいて
You're always there, aren't you?
微笑んでくれるのに
Giving me your smile.
僕たちが生きるここは今
This place where we live right now
失望で満ちているだなんて
Is filled with nothing but despair.
そんなこと言いたくはないんだ
I don't want to say such things.
それだけさ 本当さ
That's all, it's the truth.
生きていけば今 生きていくほど
The more I live, the more I find
さわれないものが増える
Things I can't touch.
何も手に入れちゃいないのに
Though I haven't gained anything,
失くしていくとしても
Even if I keep losing it all.
生きていけば今 生きていくほど
As I keep on living now, the more I live
愛おしい今も増える
The more precious these moments become
何も手に入れちゃいないけど
I haven't gained anything at all yet
失くせないものがあるんだ
But there are things I can't lose
