Kaeri no eki no hoomu de osaekirezu
Hitonami no naka de anata ni denwa wo shita
Kajikamu hitoribocchi no hidarite ni wa
Setsunai kimochi to anata ga kureta ringu

Kodomo no you ni sunao ni itta
Kotoba no sei de komarasete iru

Anata no kimochi nara shitte iru hazu na noni
Konna ni fuan ni naru
"Imasugu aitai" to iu tabi ni
Kitto tada no wagamama ni natte shimau ki ga shita

Hitomi wo tojireba kiete shimaisou de
Tsuyoku dakishimeta samishisa iyasu you ni
Bukiyou nari ni wakatte agetai noni
Doushiyou mo nai munashisa dake ga nokoru

Motto gaman sureba yokatta...?
Sonna jibun ni tomadotte iru

Te wo nobaseba todoku hazu na noni
Konna ni mo tooku kanjiru no naze?
Yowasa sae misenai anata demo
Nakitai toki amaetai toki ga kitto aru hazu

Torimodosenai hi wo koukai suru yori mo
Taisetsu na no wa sou "kore kara no jikan"

Tsutaekirenai hodo kono omoi komiagete
Sono te wo nigirishimeta
Samishigariya dakedo kore kara mo futari onaji
Hohaba de aruite yuketara ii ne

Yubi de nazoru you ni kono ai wo tashikamete
Yasashiku sodatetai ne
Sameta machi wo someru azayaka na koganeiro no
Kono ha ga midori ni irozuku you ni

English

On the platform at the station on the way home
I couldn’t help calling you amid the crowd
On my numb, lonely left hand
Is a painful feeling and the ring you gave me

I spoke as frankly as a child
And it’s thanks to those words that I’m in this situation

I thought I’d know how you’re feeling
But I’m so anxious
Every time I said “I want to see you right now”
I felt like I was just being selfish

When I close my eyes, I feel like you’re gone
I want to understand you in my own clumsy way
To heal the loneliness you hang on so tightly to
But no matter what I do, I’m just left with emptiness

Should I have stuck it out longer…?
I’m thrown by the person I’ve become

I thought if I held out my hand I’d reach you
So why do you feel so far away?
Even you, who never shows a hint of weakness
Must have times when you want to cry, want to beg

Rather than regretting the days you can’t go back to
What’s important is “the time from now”

This love, stronger than I can tell you, overwhelms me
I was a lonely person, clutching your hand
But now we’re both the same
I wish I could walk, step by step

I want to make sure of this love, tracing it with my fingers
And gently nurture it
Like these golden leaves that paint the town
Eventually become green
