縁枯れ尾花 (Enishi Kareobana)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
大人になって知ったんだ 	otona ni natte shitta nda 	I realized as I got older
人生に栞は挟めないこと 	jinsei ni shiori wa wa samenai koto 	that you can’t bookmark your place in life.
許されるのはただの追想だ 	yurusareru no wa tada no tsuisou da 	Mere reminiscence is all you’re allowed.
そんな結末が嫌いで 	sonna ketsumatsu ga kirai de 	But I hate the idea that that’s all there is to it,
降る寂しさに傘をさして 	furu sabishisa ni kasa o sashite 	and so I put up an umbrella to my raining loneliness
一人唄う　夜に枯れ尾花 	hitori utau yoru ni kareobana 	and sing to myself of withered silver grass in the night.
 	 	
持ち物はお金と身一つで 	mochimono wa okane to mihitotsu de 	All I have to my name is some money and myself.
この先自分以外立ち入り禁止 	kono saki jibun igai tachiiri kinshi 	The road ahead is off limits to everyone but me.
過去から飛び立つ私は 	kako kara tobitatsu watashi wa 	But even though I’m taking off from my past,
まだここに居たくて 	mada koko ni itakute 	I still wish I could stay here.
それでいいやと思い込むだけ 	sore de ii ya to omoikomu dake 	I keep telling myself I’d be fine with that.
 	 	
袖振り合った　懐かしい日々が 	sode furiatta natsukashii hibi ga 	How nostalgic I’ve been for the days where our sleeves would brush together as we walked side by side.
それでもまだ　明日もまた 	soredemo mada ashita mo mata 	Nevertheless, a new day would come,
春を告げた 	haru o tsugeta 	and again I would ring in the spring.
 	 	
大人になって知ったんだ 	otona ni natte shitta nda 	I realized as I got older
もう友達は作れないこと 	mou tomodachi wa tsukurenai koto 	that I can’t make friends anymore.
地位や格差の壁が邪魔をする 	chii ya kakusa no kabe ga jama o suru	Our social standings and personal differences get in the way.
そんな結末が嫌いで 	sonna ketsumatsu ga kirai de 	But I hate the idea that that’s all there is to it,
溜まる焦りに橋をかけて 	tamaru aseri ni hashi o kakete 	and so I build a bridge with my accruing impatience,
一人探す　縁は枯れ尾花 	hitori sagasu en wa kareobana 	and search by myself for this fate like withered silver grass.
 	 	
背伸びが好きだったあの頃は 	senobi ga suki datta ano koro wa 	Those days when I loved pushing my limits
自覚のない若さがあって 	jikaku no nai wakasa ga atte 	I had this youthful lack of self-awareness,
ただ誰かといたかった 	tada dareka to itakatta 	and all I wanted was to be with someone.
背を向けることも無くて 	se o mukeru koto mo nakute 	I’ll proceed further down this childish path
子供じみたこの道を歩く 	kodomojimita kono michi o aruku 	without turning my back on those times.
 	 	
変わることが　大嫌いだった 	kawaru koto ga daikirai datta 	I hated the idea that I would change.
それでもまだ　明日もまた 	soredemo mada ashita mo mata 	Nevertheless, a new day would come,
「さよなら」どうか覚めないで 	"sayonara" douka samenaide 	and again I would hear “goodbye” as I prayed I wouldn’t wake up.
 	 	
大人になって知ったんだ 	otona ni natte shitta nda 	I realized as I got older
人生に栞は挟めないこと 	jinsei ni shiori wa hasamenai koto 	that you can’t bookmark your place in life.
許されるのはただの追想だ 	yurusareru no wa tada no tsuisou da 	Mere reminiscence is all you’re allowed.
そんな結末が嫌いで 	sonna ketsumatsu ga kirai de 	But I hate the idea that that’s all there is to it,
降る寂しさに傘をさして 	furu sabishisa ni kasa o sashite 	and so I put up an umbrella to my raining loneliness
独りで 	hitori de 	and to myself, I…
 	 	
大人になって知ったんだ 	otona ni natte shitta nda 	I realized as I got older
もう友達は作れないこと 	mou tomodachi wa tsukurenai koto 	that I can’t make friends anymore.
地位や格差の壁が邪魔をする 	chii ya kakusa no kabe ga jama o suru	Our social standings and personal differences get in the way.
そんな結末が嫌いで 	sonna ketsumatsu ga kirai de 	But I hate the idea that that’s all there is to it,
溜まる焦りに橋をかけて 	tamaru aseri ni hashi o kakete 	and so I build a bridge with my accruing impatience,
一人探す　縁は枯れ尾花 	hitori sagasu en wa kareobana 	and search by myself for this fate like withered silver grass.
