Lyrics

detarame na yume wo suki katte baramaite 
omocha ni shite itsu made asonde ita 
"miesuita ashita ga ichiban kudaranai" to 
hashaginagara ki mama ni ikita ano koro 

Ah... semete bokutachi ga ichido se wo muketara 
nidoto wa modorenai basho nan da to shittetara

hanpa na yume no hito kakera ga fui ni dareka wo kizu tsukete iku 
okubyou na bokutachi wa me wo tojite hanareta 
kimi ni iisobireta koto ga poketto no naka ni mada nokotteru 
yubisaki ni furete wa kanjiru natsukashii itami ga 

nanika ni chikazuku tame ni aruita no ka 
toozakaru tame ni tada aruiteku no ka

Ah... ano toki no koto mo are kara no koto mo 
machigatte nakatta no ka honto wa mada shiranai

tsuyogaru wake ja nain dakedo tachidomatcha ikenai ki wa shiteru 
omoide no bokutachi wo semeru ki wa nai kara 
kimi ga oitetta kotoba dake poketto no naka de nigirishimeta 
te no hira ni najinda kanshoku wo wasuretaku nai kara 

are kara kimi wa dou ikiteru no? kawatta no ka na... 
kimi ga saigo ni tsumeta yume no kakeratachi wa ima doushiteru? 
boku wa... nidoto wa modorenai toki nan da to ki zuita

hanpa na yume no hito kakera ga fui ni dareka wo kizu tsukete iku 
okubyou na bokutachi wa me wo tojite hanareta 
kimi ni iisobireta koto ga poketto no naka ni mada nokotteru 
yubisaki ni furete wa kanjiru natsukashii itami ga 

kimi wa ima nani shiteru? 
tsuki ga bokutachi wo mite iru

English Translation

Flinging out silly dreams left and right
Played with it for a long long time
“A predictable tomorrow's the most meaningless thing ever”
Those carefree days when I lived by those words

Ah… if only we knew that once we turned our backs
we’d never be able to come back here again

With a piece of a half-hearted dream we hurt someone unconsciously
Cowardly as we were we closed our eyes and turned away
Things I failed to tell you still remain in my pocket
giving me nostalgic pain whenever I touch them with my fingertips

Were we walking to get closer to something?
Or were we walking away from it?

Ah… What happened back then and everything since
I still don’t know if I did the right thing

It's not that I'm trying to act tough, but I feel I shouldn’t be resting
I have no intention of blaming us in our memories
I grasped the words you left me in my pocket tightly
'Cause I don't want to forget the familiar feeling in my palms

How have you been living since then? Wonder if you’ve changed…
Pieces of the dream you stuffed in at the last minute I wonder how they're doing?
I’ve… realized we can never go back to those days

With a piece of a half-hearted dream we hurt someone unconsciously
Cowardly as we were we closed our eyes and turned away
Things I failed to tell you still remain in my pocket
giving me nostalgic pain whenever I touch them with my fingertips

I wonder what are you doing now?
The moon is watching over us
