夕暮れあなたの　後姿を　頼りに帰った… 	yuugure anata no ushirosugata o tayori ni kaetta…	is having to go home in the evening with nothing more than seeing you from behind.
 	 	
「卒業おめでとう」って　何がめでたいの？ 	"sotsugyou omedetou" tte nani ga medetai no? 	"Congratulations on your graduation," they say, but what's so joyful about it?The Japanese word for "congratulations" is based on the word for "joyful".
次は何に縋ろう　私は独り 	tsugi wa nani ni sugarou watashi wa hitori 	What shall I cling to now that I'm alone?
手を振ってくれた君　寂しく笑う 	te o futte kureta kimi sabishiku warau 	You waved at me with a lonely smile.
その姿　今も胸に… 	sono sugata ima mo mune ni… 	That picture of you, still in my heart …

この先が　続きますように… 	kono saki ga tsuzukimasu you ni… 	May our story continue …
