I’ve always been unable to let go
Because of the scenery which I’ve become used to seeing

Even if I come to this place again someday
Will I still be able to look at the same sky
In the same way and say that it looks beautiful?
Maybe I’m just thinking too much
So let me sleep a little, before rushing off again tomorrow

Those ‘one step’s which I never took because I was afraid
Has all come together to form a long, long road
And it’s all too late now
So I thought about the place where I am now
And concluded that it’s not such a bad place afterall
As I came up with excuses for myself

In truth, I had never understood a single time
I just pretended that I knew it all

I’ve always been unable to let go
Because of the scenery which I’ve become used to seeing

Somehow, everything seems so small
Looking like small clumps to me
Maybe because the sky I looked up at
Was so endless and too wide
Maybe because I was by your side

In my head, I did understand
But I still turn around to look at that someone from somewhere
As they passed me by, and feel envious

Just how long more do I have to face these ridiculous demands?
I thought this way, because I met you

Everything must surely be in this hand
I can’t leave my dreams at this place
Everything must surely be in this hand
I don’t need a predetermined future

Everything must surely be in this hand
If I don’t move on, nothing will move
Everything must surely be in this hand
If I don’t start out, nothing will begin

Hanarerarezu ni ita yo zutto
Minareteru keshiki ga atta kara

Itsuka mata kono basho he kitemo
Onaji sora wo onaji you ni mite
Utsukushii to ieru no ka to
Boku wa kangae sugita no kamoshirenai
Sukoshi no nemuri ni tsuite mata asu isogou

Kowagatte fumidasezu ni iru ippo ga
Kasanatte itsukara ka nagaku nagai
Michi ni natte teokure ni nattari shite
Sono uchi ni nantonaku ima no basho mo
Warukunai kamo nante omoi dashite
Nantoka jibun ni riyuu tsuketari shita

Honto wa ne tatta no ichido mo rikai shinai mama de
Subete ga wakatta furi wo shiteitan da ne

Hanarerarezu ni ita yo zutto
Minareteru keshiki ga atta kara

Nandaka subete ga chippoke de
Chiisana katamari ni mieta no wa
Aoida sora ga amari hate naku
Hiro sugita kara datta no kamoshirenai
Kimi no tonari ni ita kara kamoshirenai

Atama de wa wakatteru tsumori demo ne
Surechigau dokoka no dareka no koto
Furikaette nagamete wa urayandari

Naimono nedari wo itsumade tsuzukete ikun darou
Sou omoeta no wa kimi ni deaeta kara desho

Subete wa kitto kono te ni aru
Koko ni yume wa oite ikenai
Subete wa kitto kono te ni aru
Kimerareta mirai mo iranai

Subete wa kitto kono te ni aru
Ugokanakya ugokasenai kedo
Subete wa kitto kono te ni aru
Hajimenakya hajimaranai kara

KANJI

離れられずにいたよ ずっと
見慣れてる景色があったから

いつかまたこの場所へ来ても
同じ空を同じ様に見て
美しいと言えるのかと
僕は考え過ぎたのかも知れない
少しの眠りについてまた明日急ごう

怖がって踏み出せずにいる一歩が
重なっていつからか長く長い
道になって手遅れになったりして
そのうちに何となく今の場所も
悪くないかもなんて思いだして
何とか自分に理由つけたりした

ホントはねたったの一度も理解しないままで
全てがわかったフリをしていたんだね

離れられずにいたよ ずっと
見慣れてる景色があったから

何だか全てがちっぽけで
小さなかたまりに見えたのは
仰いだ空があまりに果てなく
広すぎたからだったのかも知れない
君のとなりにいたからかも知れない

頭ではわかってるつもりでもね
すれ違うどこかの誰かのこと
振り返ってながめてはうらやんだり

ないものねだりをいつまで続けていくんだろう
そう思えたのは君に出会えたからでしょ

全てはきっとこの手にある
ここに夢は置いていけない
全てはきっとこの手にある
決められた未来もいらない

全てはきっとこの手にある
動かなきゃ動かせないけど
全てはきっとこの手にある
始めなきゃ始まらないから
