歩くAruku幽霊Yuurei

どんなdonna具合guaiだいdai　まだmadaやれそうyaresouかいkai　慎重にshinchou ni点検してtenken shite　考えてkangaete

How are you holding up? Think you can still go on? Carefully inspecting, thinking

壊れたkowaretaところtokoro　直せそうなnaosesou naところtokoro　壊れずkowarezu残ったnokotta　強いtsuyoiところtokoro

The broken parts, the parts that might be fixable, the parts that survived unbroken — the strong parts

転んだkorondaってtteさsa　待たないでmatanaideさsa　小さくなっていったchiisaku natte itta背中senaka

I fell, they said, and didn't wait for me — the back growing smaller in the distance

悔しいkuyashiiけどkedo　恥じるhajiru事kotoはwaないnai　人それぞれhito sorezoreのnoどうのこうのdou no kou noじゃないのja nai no

It stings, but there's nothing to be ashamed of — it's not about everyone's-different-whatever

ずっとzutto聞こえるkikoeruよyo足音ashiotoがga　どれほどdore hodo遠くなろうともtooku narou tomo

I can hear your footsteps, always — no matter how far away they get

耳mimi塞いでfusaide声koeをwo出せdase　ここにいるよkoko ni iru yoってtte　誰dareにni向けてmukete

Plug your ears and raise your voice — "I'm right here" — aimed at who, exactly?

全くmattaku問題無いmondai nai　平常心heijoushinさsaマイライフmai raifu　他所yosoはwa他所yoso　手出し口出し御無用tedashi kuchidashi goyoumuyou

Absolutely no problem, cool as a cucumber, my life — mind your own business, no meddling please

とかtoka言うiuわりにwari ni　遙かharuka彼方kanataのno　芝生shibafuのno青さaosaまでmade　気になるki ni naru

Says that, and yet I'm bothered by how green the grass is way over there

冷静なreisei naふりfuriしてshite　黙れないdamarenaiままmama　大きくなったookiku natta鏡kagamiのno中naka

Pretending to be calm, unable to shut up, growing bigger inside the mirror

棚tanaのno上ueのno　真っ青なmassao naハートhaato　大きくなったらookiku nattara何かnanikaにniなれないのnarenai no

On the shelf, a bright blue heart — when I grow up, can I become something?

誰かdarekaをwo呼んでyonde叫ぶsakebuよyo　同時にdouji ni誰かdarekaにni呼ばれたyobaretaよyo

I cry out for someone, and at the same time, someone's crying out for me

悲しすぎてkanashisugite笑ったwarattaよyo　助けてtasuketeだなんてda nante　言えやしないie ya shinai

It was so sad I laughed — "Help me" — I can't say that

頑張ったってganbattatteさsa　頑張ってんのganbattennoさsa　人それぞれhito sorezoreのnoどうのこうのdou no kou no

They said I tried my best, and I am trying my best — everyone's-different-whatever

恥ずかしいhazukashiiくらいkurai　悔しかったkuyashikattaからkara　追わなかったowanakattaあの日ano hiがga追いかけてくるoikakete kuru

It was so embarrassingly frustrating that the day I didn't chase haunts me still

どんなdonna具合guaiだいdai　もうmou動けそうugokesouかいkai　そのsono手teでde触れてfurete　確かめてtashikamete

How are you holding up? Think you can move yet? Touch with your own hands and make sure

直せたnaosetaところtokoro　駄目だったdame dattaところtokoro　結局kekkyoku残ったnokotta　脆弱なzeijaku naハートhaato

The parts you fixed, the parts that didn't work out, the heart that remained in the end — fragile

もう一度mou ichido呼んでyonde叫ぶsakebuよyo　もう一度mou ichido誰かdarekaにni呼ばれたyobaretaよyo

I cry out one more time, and one more time, someone calls out for me

耳mimi塞いでfusaideもmo解るwakaruよyo　ここにいるよkoko ni iru yoってtte　はっきりhakkiriとto

Even with my ears plugged I can tell — "I'm right here" — clearly

ずっとzutto聞こえるkikoeruよyo足音ashiotoがga　いつかitsuka自分jibunのno出したdashita音otoがga

I can hear your footsteps, always — someday, the sound I once made

時tokiをwo越えてkoete届いたtodoitaよyo　追いついてoitsuiteやっとyatto　重なるkasanaruよyo

Reached me across time — finally caught up, finally overlapping
