It was twilight like this too, the last time we met
Have you gotten used to your new life?
You were the one who said goodbye
And I know now that you were the more mature one
Wanting our heartbeats to overlap, but
Why did I let you go in pursuit of my dreams?
Autumn wind’s monochrome
You won’t turn back anymore
As dazzling memories run through my mind
Like suffering an injury without the realization
I only felt the pain later
No matter who I spent time with
Turning my back upon your loneliness
The busy days just flowed past
These days without love are freedom
But still
I stop in my tracks when I hear a voice like yours
Nights when I made you cry
When we exchanged glares of condemnation
Why do I think of them so warmly now?
If we can only realize
What’s truly important after it is over
I want to return to that day we first met
Autumn wind’s monochrome
I’ll walk on again too
Passing the dazzling memories by
The sky we looked up at while seated
Upon the guard rail
The sunset dyes this city without you

Saigo ni atta no mo konna tasogare
Atarashii kurashi wa nareta kai?
Sayonara itta kimi no hou ga
Otona datta ne wakaru yo imanara
Kodou to kodou kasane aitai no ni
Boku wa naze tebanashite yume wo ou no darou
Akikaze no monokuromu
Kimi wa mou furi mukanai
Mabushii omoide wo kake nukete
Shiranai uchi tsukutta kizu no you ni
Ato ni natte itamu yo
Dareka to sugoshite mitemo
Kimi no sabishisa se wo muke nagara
Isogashii nichijou ni nagare sareteta dake
Ai no nai mainichi wa jiyuu
Dakedo mada
Yoku nita koe ni tachi domaru
Kimi wo nakaseta yoru mo
Seme atta manazashi mo
Atatakaku omoeru no wa doushite darou
Daiji na koto wa itsudatte
Owatte kara kitsuku nara
Deatta koro no ano hi ni modoritai
Akikaze no monokuromu
Boku mo mata aruki dasou
Mabushii omoide wo toori sugite
Gaado reiru koshi kakete futari kiri
Mi ageta sora
Yuuhi ga kimi no inai machi somete

最後に会ったのもこんな黄昏
新しい暮らしは慣れたかい?
さよなら言った君のほうが
大人だったねわかるよ今なら
鼓動と鼓動重ね合いたいのに
僕はなぜ手放して夢を追うのだろう
秋風のモノクローム
君はもう振り向かない
眩しい想い出を駆け抜けて
知らないうち創った傷のように
後になって痛むよ
誰かと過ごしてみても
君の寂しさ 背を向けながら
忙しい日常に流されてただけ
愛のない毎日は自由
だけどまだ
よく似た声に立ち止まる
君を泣かせた夜も
責め合ったまなざしも
暖かく思えるのはどう してだろう
大事なことはいつだって
終わってから気付くなら
出逢った頃のあの日に戻りたい
秋風のモノクローム
僕もまた歩き出そう
眩しい想い出を通り過ぎて
ガードレール腰掛けて二人きり
見上げた空
夕陽が君の居ない街染めて
