Lyrics

yuuhi wo nomikonda
koppu ga rubii mitai da
nomikake no doyou no seikatsukan wo
teeburu ni oite

kabin no shiroi hana
yasashi sugite kareta mitai da
hontou ni daiji datta no ni
sorosoro kaenakereba

a, yuuhi. hontou ni kirei da ne

kore kara saki no motto saki wo egaita chizu wa nain darou ka?
mayoi wa shinai darou ka
sore de ii kara sono mama de ii kara
hontou wa iranakatta mono mo sofa mo hon mo suteyou
machi e deyou

hontou wa bokura no kokoro wa atama ni atta
nani wo machigaeta no ka, ima ja moji no naka
kabin no shiroi hana
itsunomanika kareta mitai da
hontou ni daiji datta nara
somosomo kawanakereba

a, chitta. sore demo kirei da ne

English Translation

The glass that swallowed the sunset
Looks like a ruby
I left on the table
The half-drank essence of my saturday life

The white flower in the vase
Seems to have withered because it was too kind
It was truly precious
But I guess it's time to replace it...

Ah, the sunset. Looks really beautiful, don't you think?

Is there really no map that shows the details of our long, distant journey ahead?
I'm not sure if we wouldn't get lost
Well, that's fine. It's fine that way, so...
Let's throw away all the things that we actually didn't need, and the sofa and book too
And make our way to the town

Actually, our heart resides inside our head
The things we did wrong have now been laid down in letters
The white flower in the vase
Seems like it has withered a while ago
If it truly was precious,
I guess I shouldn't have bought it in the first place...

Ah, the petals fell. Nevertheless, it's still beautiful, don't you agree?

Don't you feel that the dream that you've always wanted to fulfill is tying you down?
If I have just the tiniest speck of courage to say that you can give it up...
Let's throw away the bag, pen, and even the things you really wanted to have
And make our way to the town

You threw away the "self"
That you wanted to be
It was truly precious
And yet I only start to remember about it now, all too late

I didn't even realize
That the white flower in the vase has withered
Even though the truly precious one
Was the person who replaces the flower

Ah, wait. You're really leaving, aren't you...

Is there really no map that shows the details of our long, distant journey ahead?
I'm not sure if we wouldn't get lost
Well, that's fine. It's fine that way, so...
Let's throw away all the things that we actually didn't need, and the sofa and book too
Really, it's fine

Would there be a dazzling ray of light that will keep illuminating your night?
Would you leave no matter what?
Well, that's fine. It's fine that way, so...
After you've finished reading everything, please open your eyes
Then, let's throw away this book and make our way to the town
