友達 (Tomodachi) – Friend
from Rashikunai single.
——
I used to think that you were somehow like me
Yes, when I first met you
I saw how shy of strangers you were
That awkwardness was just like me
Slowly, little by little, we exchanged words
And our hearts faced each other
Watching the same sky, and somehow or other
We got to know each other really well
Just seeing your expression
Delivers your thoughts to my heart
I’m not the only one suffering
And that calmed me
I can walk on with you
Yes, no matter how long the road may be
I can walk on as my real self
Don’t grow any taller
Let’s stay as we are
Both of us unchanging
Let’s stay as we are
Somehow, we just understood each other so much
That we forestalled the other, quarreling
Even the pain of fighting
We still shared it in the end
Because you couldn’t cry in front of others
You always smiled
The things hidden in your heart
I have them somewhere too
I can dream with you
If a sad rain falls upon us
Then we’ll get soaked as ourselves
Without decoration
Let’s believe
In our future
Let’s believe
I can walk on with you
Yes, no matter how long the road may be
I can walk on as my real self
Don’t grow any taller
Let’s stay as we are
Because it’s you, we can walk together
No matter what may be waiting for us
Because we cry the same tears
I’m not alone
I can be strong
You know that well
You’re just like me
