  1. ずいぶん長らくきたよう そんなだけなん

    It feels like I've been walking for quite a while, or so I think.

  2. 小説したら せいぜいまだ3あたりこの人生

    If this were a novel, I'm still barely on the third line of this life.

  3. カバーまだ 題名まだ 書き始めちゃから

    I started writing without even deciding on a cover or a title.

  4. どこどうしてどうって って順序よくまりない

    No matter how I try to piece it together, I can't find a logical order for what happened where and how.

  5. 今日ただただもう さぁダラダラしよう 物思いふけ

    Today, I just want to laze around and get lost in thought.

  6. 早くもぞもぞ動きだす だって

    Already, my heart starts to stir and fidget, because,

  7. 心臓打ち cc全身送り出し繰り返し

    The heart beats, sending a certain amount of blood throughout my body in repetition,

  8. 今日まずかし

    Today too, without rest, I keep myself alive.

  9. 辻褄ストーリー ほろ苦い見るストーリー

    A disjointed story viewed with a bittersweet expression.

  10. 誇れるほどものまだない だけ光るものあん

    Though there's nothing yet to boast about, there is something that shines just for me.

  11. 塗りつぶしたい 破りたい 過去ろうと汚れない

    Do you want to paint it over? Tear it apart? Even if there's a past, it remains untainted.

  12. 物語などない あぁ 一瞬自分さえ

    I'm not drawn to tales without flaws; ah, not even to the self just a moment ahead.

  13. もうない

    I can't wait any longer.

  14. すぐでもいたい

    I want to see you right now.

  15. うかうからんない

    I can't afford to dawdle.

  16. した痛み ないようした

    Your pain that spills over, I wept so it wouldn't break.

  17. ひょっとしたら もしかしたら それいつかあの

    Perhaps, it just might be that it was me once upon a time.

  18. 水たまりって

    The shining morning light kicked up the puddles, scattering all around.

  19. あのどれなら いい いい

    If any of those was you now, that would be wonderful.

  20. どっか誰か勝手こと あーとかとかたり

    Someone, somewhere, is talking about you, saying this and that.

  21. いつの間にかブック表紙名前 勝手につけ

    Before I knew it, I placed my name on the cover of your book, without asking.

  22. きた 悪いけど あんたわれる筋合いねぇから

    I'm fed up, I'm not the brightest, but I don't have to take that from you.

  23. とっととなくっと これ電車 受けっと

    Just hurry up and disappear, here’s your fare, please accept it.

  24. どうにもこういかないでも どうにかこう

    Even when things seem utterly hopeless, somehow, in some way, we persist.

  25. ここまでたん 自信って言える

    I've come this far, and now I can confidently say

  26. 乗りせん こいつ勝手そう かん

    Only this one understands how to ride me, that is its way.

  27. にゃない このおいらにゃ このポンコツくらい丁度いい

    There's no one else for me, this clumsy me is just right.

  28. でもあわよくば まぁ いつ このこと このより

    But perhaps someday, this myself, more than this me...

  29. よりかってってくれる逢えるいい なんて

    I hope to meet someone who understands me better and can smile together.

  30. その時までない

    I can't wait until that moment.

  31. すぐしめたい

    I want to hold you right now

  32. このたい

    I want to warm you with these hands

  33. した白い 奇跡ってした

    The white light that burst forth has sprouted, merging with miracles

  34. それならいい それならいっそ奇跡使い果たす

    If that's me, then it's fine; I’ll exhaust all miracles if that's the case

  35. した 無駄ならよう駆け出し

    I rushed out so your overflowing tears won't be in vain

  36. それ抱く気持ち なんて美しい

    The feelings I hold in my heart when I see that—how beautiful they are

  37. 1見えるものだけかけ

    Chasing only what shines just one second ahead

  38. 間違いなんてないだから そんな言葉受け

    "There are no mistakes," I took those words to heart

  39. 生まれなのに 名前呼ぶがい

    Even though I was born from zero, there's someone who calls my name now

  40. 当たり前などない 産み落としてく ありがとう

    Thank you for bringing me into a mind where nothing is taken for granted

  41. ありがとう ありがとう

    Whether a life that ends in a single page or one that stretches across a thousand pages,

  43. 比べられるようもんではない 同じ輝き放つ違いない

    They cannot be compared; both surely shine with the same brilliance.

  44. あいまい ない言葉 延々紡ぐなどない

    Ambiguous, careless words spin endlessly, with no time to weave them.

  45. 1ページ生き少年 より光る一行

    In the book of a boy who lived just a single page, there is a line that sparkles brighter than any other.

  46. いる

    It is written there,

  47. そうない

    I believe it steadfastly.

  48. もうジタバタたい

    I just want to be in a flurry once more.

  49. どれだけせん

    How much can I leave behind?

  50. ねぇ どれだけ生きれん

    Hey, how long can I live?

  51. 時間以外単位

    In units other than time,

  52. した痛み ないようした

    I wept that your pain, which spills over, wouldn't break.

  53. ひょっとしたら もしかしたら

    Perhaps, just maybe, it was the shadow of your kindness.

  54. 水たまりって

    The shining morning light kicked at the puddles and splattered everywhere.

  55. あのどれなら いい いい いい

    If any of those could be the you of now, how wonderful, how wonderful, how wonderful.
