Lyrics

asa me wo samashite arifureta hi wo hajimete

English Translation

Waking up in the morning
Another ordinary day begins
Leaving for work again
Thinking to myself, "I don't want to go"
Again, I wake up in the morning
Watching the day as it withers by
I'll finish that tomorrow
Even if I rush, it'll just wither away
In that case, I'll walk at my own pace

Deluded by things that don't even exist
Nothing is going the right way anymore
If I did nothing and just looked up
I'd be able to believe
That all of this is trivial

Within these overflowing days
I'm looking for something,
Something that will never cease to shine
I'm fine with just a tiny little bit of happiness
I want to keep searching for that light
I want hope for tomorrow

Time flows by
Tomorrow has come by again today
The days I've taken for granted
They let me know that they're ending again today

Deluded by the righteousness of those around me
I come so close to giving up on everything
If I did nothing and just looked up
I'd even be able to stop these overflowing tears

Within these overflowing days
I'm looking for something,
Something that will never cease to shine
I'm fine with just a tiny little bit of happiness
I want to keep searching for that light
I want hope for tomorrow

Even if we lie, tomorrow will still come
Even if we do nothing, the sun will still rise
Being at work or going to school
It's all, it's all, it's all the same
I just kept walking forwards
Waiting for the right answer
I regret that

Within these overflowing days
I'm looking for something,
Something that will never cease to shine
Aaah...
Maybe I'll be able to change something today
I'll keep believing that
I'll keep living like this
Tomorrow too
