Lyrics:
Kazari mitai na yasashisa janakute
Tsukaimichi ga nai hodo no nukumori o aa
Sonna migatte na risou narabe kyou mo
Kotoba ni dekizu ni nomikonde shimau no deshita
Omoide wa mada kinmokusei
Tasogare iro mo kaoru machi de
Waratte ita nda yo na
Mune ga setsunakute namida ga afurete
Ano hi no soba ni akari o mitsukete
Amaete ita nda na
Kaze ga urusakute mimi o fusaide ta
Sonna watashi kara sotsugyou shinakucha
Ai no kotoba ni tsumazuite demo
Mukashi kara zurugashikokutte
Beddo no sumikko de tedibea ni natte
Dareka ni dakishimete morau tame
Itsumo kawaisou na furi shite mado kara sora miteta no
Buriki no hoshi to kakurenbo
Tatta hitotsu ni deau koto o
Negatte ita ndakara
Jukushita kajitsu ga yoru o tsukamu toki
Konna watashi demo tadoritsukeru kana?
Daremo ga urayamu ai no tokoro
Nan-dan ka agatte soshite nan-dan ka sagatta tokoro de
Ganbatte mou sukoshi da yo tte koe
Doku ni demo kusuri ni demo natte
Hikari ni demo kage ni demo natte watashi o ugokasu no
Ikanakya ikenai no
Te o furu anata ga donna ni chiisaku natte mo
Mune ni itoshisa o te ni wa yasashisa o
Anata no tame ni akari o sagasu no
Waratte hoshii kara
Kaze ga urusakute mimi o fusaide ta
Sonna watashi kara sotsugyou shinakucha
Ai no kotoba ga kikoemasu ka

English Translation:
It's not like the kindness like an ornament
It's a warmth that's so useless, ah
Today, too, I line up these selfish ideals
Without being able to put them into words, I swallow them
Memories are still like golden-osmanthus flowers
In a town tinted with twilight colors and scents
We were laughing, weren't we?
My heart aches, tears overflow
I find light by my side on that day
I was seeking comfort
The wind was noisy, so I blocked my ears
I must graduate from the me who was like that
Even if I stumble over words of love
I was always sly
Act like a teddy bear in the corner of the bed
Pretending to be pitiful to be embraced by someone
I was always looking at the sky through the window
With tin stars and hide-and-seek
I was wishing to encounter just one thing
When ripe fruit seizes the night
Will someone like me be able to reach it?
A place of love that everyone envies
Climbing a few steps and then descending a few
"I'm doing my best, it's just a little more," a voice says
Whether it's poison or medicine
Becoming light or shadow
It moves me, even if I have to go
Even if you, waving your hand, become so small
In my heart, there's love; in my hands, there's tenderness
I search for light for your sake
Because I want to see you smile
The wind was noisy, so I blocked my ears
I must graduate from the me who was like that
Can you hear the words of love?
