大人たちの　はんぶんも　生きては　いないけれど
思い出の数ならば　リュックにいっぱいさ
お気に入りのベースボールキャップ かかとつぶれたスニーカー
ポケットのおくにあるよ　擦りへったギターピック
涙がちぎるれるくらい　悲しいこともあったけど
いつでもきみが　ぼくのそばにいてくれた
ともだちのままいると　ふたりずっと思ってた
気づかないまま　たぶん　きみを愛してた
笑いあったり遊んだり　傷つきながら歩く
近道もまわり道も　迷いながらおぼえた
信じられる人だけ　いるわけないとしても
信じハートだけは　捨てられないと知った
ありのままの　きみだけが　ぼくを強くしてくれた
いつでもきみが　ぼくを強くしてくれた
やさしい風が吹くように　草をなでていくように
いつでもきみが　笑顔みせて歩いてた
そう　網だと笑顔　かわるがわるに
見せあったふたりは・・・・・・　(I miss you)
遠くに離れて・・・・・・

I haven't lived even half as long as adults have,
but I do have plenty of memories in my backpack
My favorite baseball cap, my sneakers with worn-out heels
Deep in my pocket is my worn-down guitar pick
There were some things sad enough to make tears come out,
but you were always by my side
I thought of the two of us as just friends the whole time
I probably loved you without ever realizing it
We walked while we laughed, played, and got hurt
I realized it as we took shortcuts and went in circles:
that even if you can't believe in everyone
you can't cast aside a heart you do believe in
You made me stronger just being who you are
Like a gentle wind blowing and swaying the grass
you always walked with a smile
Yes, the two who shared smiles and tears one after the other... (I miss you)
are now far apart...	
Grown-ups have done so much more stuff than me
There's many things that I still want to see
Now I take my backpack to the world
and fill it with memories
My favorite baseball cap rests on my head
My worn out sneakers, faded white and red
My own guitar pick, shiny and clear
Safe in my pocket, right here
Though sometimes I got sad and almost cried
You were right there with me, by my side
I knew we were friends to the core
But maybe it was something more
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Together, we walked that road for so long
We laughed, we played, we got hurt, we grew strong
When taking short-cuts, and getting lost
I learned what I'd known all along
That even if you can't put faith in those
Who you meet, and lose, and love, and hug
Overall, you just can't give up
Believing in your friends
And just by being there, you've woken me
Just by being who you'd always be
Now I see, you helped me to know
The stronger, happier me
Because
Like a gentle breeze, through the grass and the pine trees
You always wore a smile
Now we, who shared our Smiles and Tears...
...I miss you...
We two are now far apart...
