TO BE (10th Anniversary Version)

Dare mo ga toori sugite'ku ki ni mo tomenai dou shiyou mo nai
Sonna garakuta o taisetsusou ni kakaete ita
Mawari wa fushigi na kao de sukoshi hanareta basho kara mite'ta
Soredemo waratte itte kureta "takaramono da" to.

Ookina nani ka o te ni irenagara ushinatta mono mo atta kana
Ima to natte wa mou wakaranai yo ne
Torimodoshita tokoro de kitto bimyou ni chigatte iru hazu de.

Kimi ga iru nara donna toki mo waratte'ru yo
Kimi ga iru nara donna toki mo waratte'ru yo naite iru yo ikite iru yo
Kimi ga inakya nani mo nakatta.

Jibun jishin datta ka mawari datta ka soretomo tada no
Tokei datta kana kowaresou ni natte'ta mono wa.

Garakuta o mamoritsudzukeru ude wa donna ni itakatta koto darou

Kimi ga mitsuketa hiroku mo nai semaku mo nai konna michi de dou ni ka shite

Kimi ga ita kara donna toki mo waratte'ru yo naite iru yo ikite ita yo
Kimi ga inakya nani mo nakatta.

[translation]

Everyone passes through. I don't keep them in mind either. It can't be helped
You've been carrying that junk as if it's important
People saw you from a distance and thought you were strange
Even so you laughed and said to me "this is treasure."

While i'm gaining something big, i wonder if there's something i've lost
I don't understand
This place i've regained, i bet it's slightly different.

If you're there, i'm always laughing
If you're there, i'm always laughing. I'm crying. I'm living
If you're not there, there's nothing.

Was it myself? Was it the people? Or was it
Only a clock? The thing that seemed like it would break.

How much do the arms that continue to protect the junk hurt?
What have they sacrificed?
Even though you'll never be perfect, you shine in your imperfection.

The path you found isn't wide
The path you found isn't wide, it isn't narrow, somehow
You alone have made it better for me.

Because you were there, i'm always laughing
Because you were there, i was always laughing. I was crying. I was living
If you're not there, there's nothing.
