分かり合える事はない
We can never truly understand each other,
そう気づいてしまったよ
I realized that, you know.
分かち合うのならと泳ぐ
If we're to share it, I swim along,
誰かがしてる縄跳びの中に
Inside the rope of someone else's jump,
僕も入れたなら変われるかな
I wonder if I could change if I joined in.
君を知っている
I know you well,
悪いのは僕の方だ
The one at fault is really me.
わかった気になってた
I thought I understood it all,

With time, I’ll forget it all
そう思って今日も引き摺ってる
Thought so, still dragging it on today
大体そうさ、みんな良い人でも無いし
That's about right, not everyone is a good person
後ろから刺されてしまうのを恐れてる
Afraid of being stabbed in the back
いい加減無理をするのを辞めたい
I want to stop pretending it’s fine
愛されていたいだけだから それだけだから
I just want to be loved, that’s all I need

At least today, I found a way to keep living

I'm glad I arrived here

Make a part of me into all of me
でもこれは知っていて欲しい
But I want you to know this

The fault is mine, I admit

I thought I understood it all
わかった気にさせて

The day we held hands back then,
時間が経てば忘れる
Time passes, and I'll forget.

I want this love song to reach you,
僕を知らない君とどうか
You who don’t know me, I wish
その日々の不可欠で在りたい
To be an essential part of those days.
痛い 出会うまではジッと ギュッと
It hurts, waiting quietly, tightly,
でももはやこれは素晴らしい
But this is already something wonderful.
そう信じなきゃ やっていけないな
I have to believe that, or I can’t go on.
全て繰り返しで出来てる
Everything is made of repetitions.

It's frustrating, but,
君を思っていたい
I want to keep thinking of you,
君を知っている
I know you well.
