Dare mo ga toori sugiteku ki ni mo tomenai dou shiyou mo nai

Sonna garakuta wo taisetsusou ni kakaete ita

Mawari wa fushigi na kao de sukoshi hanareta basho kara miteta

Soredemo waratte itte kureta “takaramono da” to

Ookina nani ka wo te ni irenagara ushinatta mono mo atta kana

Ima to natte wa mou wakaranai yo ne

Tori mo doshita tokoro de kitto bimyou ni chigatte iru hazu de

Kimi ga iru nara donna toki mo waratteru yo

Kimi ga iru nara donna toki mo waratteru yo naite iru yo ikite iru yo

Jibun jishin datta ka mawari datta ka soretomo tada no

Tokei datta kana koware sou ni natteta mono wa

Garakuta wo mamori tsudukeru ude wa donna ni itakatta koto darou

Kimi ga ita kara donna toki mo waratteru 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.
