Romaji

Me ni mienai namida kanashimi
Kimi ga moshi tsurai toki wa sugu to nari ni
One love sakebu
Kimi ni okuru e-ru de kawaru ashita ga aru nara
'Hitotsu hitotsu' ni imi ga atte
'Hitori hitori' ga tsunagatteku
Afureru omoi ga pen wo nigira seru
No-to wa midashite merodi- no ue

Sora miage utau koe
Sekai ni wa kikoenai merodi-
Sabishisa wo magirawasu youni
Namida shinai youni

Boku no tonari wa itsumo shizuka de
Dare mo inai keshiki dake ga hirogatteta no
Utsumuku boku ni egao de kimi ga
Aozora oshiete kureta ne

Sabishi gari ya na boku ga shagan deta sekai ni wa
Ai ya nukumori sonna risou bakari
No-to no ue kara hamidashita kono omoi ni merodi-
Soshite sora ni...

Michikusa yorimichi itsumo toomawari
Ketobashita ano akikan mitai ni
Kizu darake de karappo no mune ni
Namida ga ochinai youni
Itsumo hisshi de giri giri no boku
Nakeru basho wo sagashite aruku
Doko ni mo miataranai yo
Sora miage sakebu
'Boku wa koko ni iru!'

'Itsudemo waratte iru ne'
Sou kimi wa boku ni iu kedo
Kidzuitenai no?
Boku wo miru kimi mo waratteru yo

Dekireba konna fuu ni akaru sa
Furimakeru sonzai ni naritai to omotteta
Boku no tonari ni iru hito ga
Tooku ni itte shimawanu youni

Sabishi gari ya na boku ga shagan deta sekai ni wa
Ai ya nukumori sonna risou bakari
No-to no ue kara hamidashita omoi ni merodi-
Soshite sora ni...
'Hitori ja nai' 'daijoubu' to
Utau boku no koe ni wa
Furimukanai toki datte aru kedo
Uta ya serifuri ni mo naranai tada kimi dake ni kanadeta merodi-

Shagan de miageta ookina keshiki
Nande konna ni chikai kyori na noni
Minna tooi no? Gimon bakari
Zutto nagamete ita 'nukumori'
Hito koishii omoi idaki nagara
Ato sukoshi demo soba ni ite hoshii kara
Ano hi no sora omoidashite ita
Zutto kimi to mite itai kara

Han naki no egao mo furueru sono te mo
'Doushite nano? Dare mo kidzukanai no?'
Ima kimi no tonari ga tada no keshiki dake de
Minna tooku ni hanarete yuku no nara
Ima sugu soko he iku yo

Kimi no tonari de boku ga kuchizusamu merodi- wa
Ai ya nukumori sonna risou bakari
Atarimae wo tokubetsu ni kanjiru boku wo
Warattatte ii
'Hitori ja nai' 'daijoubu' to
Utau boku no koe ni wa
Furimukanai toki datte aru kedo
Uta ya serifuri ni mo naranai tada kimi dake ni kanadeta merodi-

English

Tears and sadness that can't be seen
When you're hurting I'll be right by your side
Shouting out this one love
If I can change tomorrow by yelling out to you
"Each and every thing", it all has a meaning
"Each and every one of us", we're all connected
In this melody that leaps off the page
Born from my emotions that flooded forth and moved me to pick up my pen

A voice is singing, looking up at the sky
A melody the world can't hear
To offset the loneliness
To keep from crying

It was always quiet by my side
Nothing but deserted scenery spreading out around me
Then, while I was hanging my head, you smiled
And taught me what the blue sky was like

In that world where I crouched all alone
There was nothing but ideals of love and warmth
A melody for the feelings that leapt off the page
And into the sky...

Loitering, taking detours, always taking the long way
My heart was as empty and battered
As the empty can I kicked
I was always trying desperately
To fight back the tears
I walked, looking for a place to cry
But I couldn't find one anywhere
I screamed into the sky
"I'm here!"

"You’re always smiling"
That's what you say to me
Didn't you realize?
You smile too when you're looking at me

If I can, I want to scatter this brightness around
So that the person by my side
Doesn't go far away

In that world where I crouched all alone
There was nothing but ideals of love and warmth
A melody for the feelings that leapt off the page
And into the sky...

There may be times when you don't turn around
At my voice singing
"You’re not alone" "It’s alright"
But I've made this melody with no tune or words only for you

Crouching there, I looked up at the big scenery
Why are we all so close
Yet so far away? I have so many doubts
This "warmth" I've been gazing at for so long
I want to have it by my side just a little longer
As I feel this longing
I remembered the sky on that day
Because I want to look at it with you all the time

"Why doesn't anyone notice?"
My tearful smile, my shaking hands
Now, the spot by your side is just scenery
If everyone goes away
I'll go straight to where you are

I’m humming a melody by your side
Of ideals like love and warmth
You can laugh at me
For finding ordinary things special
There may be times when you don't turn around
At my voice singing
"You’re not alone" "It’s alright"
But I've made this melody with no tune or words only for you
