あの頃の僕に (Ano koro no boku ni) – To the me then
from SINGLES COLLECTION+4 album.
——
Just outside of the business district, the shop I used to frequent still stands
Where we’ve laughed, cried, and dreamed wholeheartedly
Even such a passionate feeling can be forgotten
I want to open that Door within me once again
Memories are dazzling and turn beautiful, but
If we are always nostalgic, we can’t see tomorrow
After meeting these comrades whom I can discuss anything with
Can I still return to the me then?
The shop at dawn with empty bottles fallen over is overflowing with smiles
With no calculations and letters, we can be honest
Everyone has troubles and is lost in life
We may be awkward, but as long as we can progress as ourselves
Try looking at what you have in a different light
And you may understand what it is you’ve lost
Even unchecked conversations can turn into precious times
I met with the me then…
Memories are dazzling and turn beautiful, but
If we are always nostalgic, we can’t see tomorrow
I’m glad we met today, it’s hard to put into words
How my cloudy heart turned clear…
Try looking at what you have in a different light
Irreplaceable comrades are all around me
Even unchecked conversations can turn into precious times
I met with the me then…
