Sumi nareta kono heya wo Dete yuku hi ga kita Atarashii tabidachi ni mada tomadotteru The day has come for me to leave this room I've been used to living in I'm still bewildered at this new journey Eki made mukau BASU no naka Tomodachi ni MEERU shita Inside the bus that's heading toward the station I emailed my friend Asa no HOOMU de denwa mo shitemita Demo nanka chigau ki ga shita I tried to call on the morning platform But somehow, I felt that it was different Furui GITAA wo hitotsu motte kita Shashin wa zenbu oitekita I came carrying an old guitar I've placed out all of the pictures Nanika wo tebanashite soshite te ni ireru Sonna kurikaeshi ka na? I let something go and take something I wonder if it's that kind of repetition? Tsuyogari wa itsudatte yume ni tsuduiteru Okubyou ni nattara soko de togireru yo This show of courage continues even in my dreams If I became cowardly, I would be cut off there Hashiri dashita densha no naka Sukoshi dake naketekita Inside the train that began to go Just a little bit, I was moved to tears Mado no soto ni tsuduiteru kono machi wa Kawara nai de to negatta This town that continues outside the window I wished that it wouldn't change Furui GITAA wo atashi ni kureta hito Toukyou wa kowaitte itte ta The person who gave me the old guitar Had said that Tokyo is scary Kotae wo sagasu no wa mou yameta Machigai darakede ii I've already stopped searching for an answer It's fine being full of mistakes Akai yuuyake ga BIRU ni togireta Namida wo koraetemo The red evening glow was cut off at the building Even if I endure the tears Tsugi no asa ga yattekuru tabigoto ni Mayou koto datte aru yo ne? Each journey that comes with the next morning Has its doubtful places, right? Tadashii koto bakari erabe nai Sore kurai wakatteru I can't simply choose the right thing At least I understand that
