From crossroad single + Love songs album.

The scenery we will see from now on and that which we have imagined in our dreams
How far will they differ from each other? There are surely times when we wonder about that
That time when I stood at the beginning of the crossroads
I wondered if the path I chose was the right one
That time when I stood opposite the crossroads
I wondered what would be at the other end
But even so, I will continue on. Because I know I haven’t lost yet
The one who pretended to be strong so she would not be hurt
So that she could protect herself. I wonder if she can truly smile
Some things I will change, some things I have changed
Some things I can’t change. Can I truly smile?
All these nostalgic memories are scattered all over this road
Suddenly thrust down this path, I felt not only warmth, but pain too
On my journey to adulthood
I wonder, what is it exactly that I’ve lost
On my journey to adulthood
I wonder, what is this exactly that is increasing
But this very moment I’ve spent thinking, look, it’s become the past too
The profile of that girl who just passed me by looked like someone
I knew from sometime ago. I know this, but why
Can’t I even call out? It’s as if I have no voice
I could only look on her back as she walked away
But even so, I will continue on. Because I know I haven’t lost yet
The one who pretended to be so strong so she would not be hurt, just for that
So that she could protect herself. I wonder if she can truly smile
Some things I will change and some things I have changed and
Some things I can’t change. Can I truly smile?

Kokokara mieteiru keshiki wa yume ni egaiteita keshiki to
Dono kurai chigau no ka nante omou toki ga aru yo ne
Ano toki tatta wakaremichi no hajimari
Eranda hou wa kocchi de yokatta kana tte
Ano toki tatta wakaremichi no hantai
Gawa ni atta no wa nandatta no kana tte
Soredemo susumi tsuzuketeru mada makete nanka inai yo tte
Kizutsukanai you ni tsuyogaru koto dake de jibun wo
Mamotteita aitsu wa umaku waraeru you ni natta kana
Kawatte yuku koto kaete kita koto
Kaerarenai koto watashi wa umaku waraeteru?
Natsukashii omoidetachi bakari sokorajuu ni korogaru michi wo
Guuzen toori sugitara atatakai kedo kurushikatta
Otona ni natte yuku hodo ni ushinatte
Kita mono wa ittai nandatta no kana tte
Otona ni natte yuku hodo ni fueteku
Kore tte ittai nee nan na no kana tte
Kangaeta kono shunkan sae mo hora kako ni kawatteku ne
Ima surechigatta dareka ga itsuka no ano ko no
Yokogao ni mieta you na ki ga shita no ni doushite
Koe wo kakeru koto sae mo dekinai mama
Toozakatte yuku ushiro sugata wo mitsumeteta
Soredemo susumi tsuzuketeru mada makete nanka inai yo tte
Kizutsukanai you ni to tsuyogaru koto sore dake de jibun wo
Mamotteita aitsu wa umaku waraeru you ni natta kana
Kawatte yuku koto toka kaete kita koto toka
Kaerarenai koto watashi wa umaku waraeteru?

ここから見えている景色は夢に描いていた景色と
どのくらい違うのかなんて思う時があるよね
あの時立った分かれ道の始まり
選んだ方はこっちでよかったかなって
あの時立った分かれ道の反対
側にあったのはなんだったのかなって
それでも進み続けてるまだ負けてなんかいないよって
傷つかない様に強がる事だけで自分を
守っていたアイツはうまく笑えるようになったかな
変わって行く事変えて来た事
変えられない事私はうまく笑えてる?
懐かしい想い出達ばかりそこらじゅうに転がる道を
偶然通り過ぎたら温かいけど苦しかった
大人になって行く程に失って
きたものは一体何だったのかなって
大人になって行く程に増えてく
これって一体ねえ何なのかなって
考えたこの瞬間さえもほら過去に変わってくね
今すれ違った誰かがいつかのあの子の
横顔に見えたような気がしたのにどうして
声をかける事さえも出来ないまま
遠ざかって行く後ろ姿を見つめてた
それでも進み続けてるまだ負けてなんかいないよって
傷つかない様にと強がる事それだけで自分を
守っていたアイツはうまく笑えるようになったかな
変わって行く事とか変えて来た事とか
変えられない事私はうまく笑えてる?
