Japanese 	Romaji 	English
すっかり乗り慣れたフライトで 	sukkari norinareta furaito de 	How many more times will I talk about
今日こそ堕ちてくれないだろうかと 	kyou koso ochite kurenai darou ka to 	resting my chin in my hands and gazing at the clouds
頬杖ついて雲を眺める話をあと何度しよう 	houzue tsuite kumo o nagameru hanashi o ato nando shiyou 	as, on a flight I’ve grown completely accustomed to, I wonder if today will be the day it finally plummets to the ground?
誰かを言い負かす為の機会を 	dareka o iimakasu tame no kikai o 	Even this life of searching for something that’ll give me
何かにつけ狙っていた暮らしも 	nanika ni tsukeneratte ita kurashi mo 	the chance to contradict someone
未だに古くなっちゃくれない 	ima da ni furukunaccha kurenai 	still just won’t get old.
 	 	
優しくしてくれたあの子にまでも 	yasashiku shite kureta ano ko ni made mo 	Even the kindness that girl showed me
どうせ心の中じゃ、なんてことを 	douse kokoro no naka ja, nante koto o 	won’t ever reach my heart. Such are the kinds
思ってしまったのもつい最近ではあるけれど 	omotte shimatta no mo tsui saikin de wa aru keredo 	of thoughts I’ve been having, quite recently, even.
 	 	
小指に巻いた絆創膏が見えるようにと 	koyubi ni maita bansoukou ga mieru you ni to 	I drew just a bit closer
近づいたばっかりに 	chikazuita bakkari ni 	in order to better see the bandage wound around my pinky finger,
本当は無かった傷が欲しくなる 	hontou wa nakatta kizu ga hoshiku naru 	as I’ve come to hope that there isn’t really a wound.
 	 	
洒落っ気に欠けていた生返事を 	sharekke ni kakete ita namahenji o 	Though I can’t go so far as to say
嫌ってくれとまでは言えないけど 	kiratte kure to made wa ienai kedo 	“please despise my boorish, half-hearted response.”
 	 	
攫っていった未来に「そうかそうか」と頷いて 	saratte itta mirai ni "sou ka sou ka" to unazuite 	It was on the ground where I acknowledged my stolen future
歩いた地上でのこと 	aruita chijou de no koto 	with an “I see, I see,” as I nodded and walked along.
 	 	
飛べない鳥になっていた　ふらり彷徨ったまま 	tobenai tori ni natte ita furari samayotta mama 	I’ve become a bird that can’t fly, wandering aimlessly.
空からじゃ見られない眺めがあるんだと 	sora kara ja mirarenai nagame ga arun da to 	There are sights that can’t be seen from the sky.
言葉へ落とし込んで最後　嘘に変わってもね 	kotoba e otoshikonde saigo uso ni kawatte mo ne 	I’ll note them down in words at the end, even though they’ll all turn to lies.
ただそれとなく伝わるものがあればいい 	tada sore to naku tsutawaru mono ga areba ii 	As long as there’s the slightest something for me to pass down, that’s alright.
 	 	
ぼんやり難しく思うこともそれなりに愛しくなれることを 	bonyari muzukashiku omou koto mo sorenari ni itoshiku nareru koto o	Even vaguely unpleasant thoughts can become precious in their own way,
知ってか知らでか分かったフリばかりが上手い人を 	shitte ka shira de ka wakatta furi bakari ga umai hito o 	but whether they know that or not, people are only good at pretending to understand.
 	 	
嘲たことは無いといったものの 	azaketa koto wa nai to itta mono no 	It’s said that there’s no need to mock them,
意味もなくケラケラと笑う僕を 	imi mo naku kerakera to warau boku o 	so I, cackling meaninglessly,
言い表せた文字が欲しくなる 	iiarawaseta moji ga hoshiku naru 	have come to long for a way to express my words aloud.
 	 	
黙っていれば誰かが口を開くもの 	damatte ireba dareka ga kuchi o hiraku mono 	If I stay silent, someone else will speak up.
座って待っていましょう　お茶を飲みながらでも 	suwatte matte imashou ocha o nomi nagara demo 	I’ll sit and wait. And while I drink my tea,
狂っちまった時代よさらば　「お先にどうぞ」と 	kurucchimatta jidai yo saraba "osaki ni douzo" to 	I bid farewell to these crazy times
静かに言った後 	shizuka ni itta ato 	after I quietly offer an “after you.”
 	 	
泳げない魚になっていた　ひとり強張ったまま 	oyogenai sakana ni natte ita hitori kowabatta mama 	I’ve become a fish that can’t swim, stiffening up alone.
水面に歪んだ自分の姿を 	minamo ni yuganda jibun no sugata o 	I’ll note down my form, distorted by the water’s surface,
記憶へ落とし込んで誰も悪くないんだってね 	kioku e otoshikonde daremo warukunain datte ne 	in my memories. It no one’s fault, truly.
ただ一度だけ思わせるものがあればいい 	tada ichido dake omowaseru mono ga areba ii 	Just once, as long as there’s something to suggest them, that’s alright.
 	 	
誰のせいだろう　僕のせいかも 	dare no sei darou boku no sei ka mo 	Whose fault is it, I wonder? It might be my fault…
いや、きっとあいつのせいだのと 	iya, kitto aitsu no sei da no to 	No, surely, it’s his fault!
暗くなる外　張り詰める場所 	kurakunaru soto haritsumeru basho 	The outside darkens, the area grows tense,
繰り出す一人分の音 	kuridasu hitoribun no oto 	and sends out one person’s allotment of sound.
「あなたに分からないだろうけど」 	"anata ni wakaranai darou kedo" 	“Though it’s not like you could ever understand.”
言葉尻にはそう言い捨ててやろう 	kotobajiri ni wa sou iisutete yarou 	Such words are, yeah, just tossed over my shoulder.
でも　嗚呼もう　いつまで経っても救われない歌よ 	demo aa mou itsu made tatte mo sukuwarenai uta yo 	But, agh, no matter how much time passes, this song remains beyond redemption.
 	 	
あるはずがなくなっていた　ゆらり揺蕩ったまま 	aruhazu ga nakunatte ita yurari tayutatta mama 	There was no longer any way it could be the case, as I swayed to and fro.
寄る辺なく縋っていたはずだったのに 	yorubenaku sugatte ita hazu datta no ni 	I was supposed to be clinging to nothing, with no one to turn to, but,
思いを遡ってみたって思い出せないね 	omoi o sakanobotte mitatte omoidasenai ne 	even as I try to revisit my memories, I can’t remember.
それが端からあったものなのかすら 	sore ga hana kara atta mono na no ka sura 	But was there ever anything there to begin with?
 	 	
飛べない鳥になっていた　ふらり彷徨ったまま 	tobenai tori ni natte ita furari samayotta mama 	I’ve become a bird that can’t fly, wandering aimlessly.
空からじゃ見られない眺めがあるんだと 	sora kara ja mirarenai nagame ga arun da to 	There are sights that can’t be seen from the sky.
言葉へ落とし込んで最後　嘘に変わってもね 	kotoba e otoshikonde saigo uso ni kawatte mo ne 	I’ll note them down in words at the end, even though they’ll all turn to lies.
ただそれとなく伝わるものがあればいい 	tada sore to naku tsutawaru mono ga areba ii 	As long as there’s the slightest something for me to pass down, that’s alright.
