Scab

Kasabuta

In the middle of the slope leading to tomorrow
明日へ続く坂道の途中で
Ashita e tsuzuku sakamichi no tochū de
Adults passing by whisper
すれ違う大人たちはつぶやくのさ
surechigau otona-tachi wa tsubuyaku no sa
I understand love, dreams, and ideals
愛とか夢とか理想もわかるけど
Ai toka yume toka risō mo wakaru kedo
But the reality in front of me isn't that sweet
目の前の現実はそんなに甘くないって
Me no mae no genjitsu wa sonna ni amakunai tte

Stumbling and rolling
つまずきながらも転がりながらも
Tsumazuki nagara mo korogari nagara mo
I don't want to forget the passion full of scabs
かさぶただらけの情熱を忘れたくない
Kasabuta darake no jōnetsu wo wasuretakunai

Cut off our pretense of not being able to become adults
大人になれない僕らの強がりを一つ切ってくれ
Otona ni narenai bokura no tsuyogari wo hitotsu kitte kure
Only those who want to laugh can laugh because we don't run or hide
逃げも隠れもしないから笑いたい奴だけ笑え
Nige mo kakure mo shinai kara waraitai yatsu dake warae
At least don't pick off our unreliable ten eyes
せめて頼りない僕らの十の目をつみとらないで
Semete tayorinai bokura no jū no me wo tsumitoranai de
Just fulfill the role of giving water
水をあげるその役目を果たせばいいんだろう
Mizu wo ageru sono yakume wo hataseba ii ndarou

Repeated failures
何度も繰り返した失敗とか
Nando mo kurikaeshita shippai toka
Different thoughts
大きく食い違った考えとか
Ōkiku kui chigatta kangae toka
Our standards are uncertain
僕らの基準は途めふたしかで
Bokura no kijun wa tome futashika de
Our pace has somehow widened from yesterday
昨日より何となく歩幅が広くなった
Kinō yori nan to naku hohaba ga hiroku natta

While stretching and being knocked down
背伸びをしながら打ちのめされながら
Senobi wo shinagara uchinomesare nagara
Peeling off the scabs a bit but no answers
かさぶたをちょっとはがすけど答えは出ない
Kasabuta wo chotto hagasu kedo kotae wa denai

Listen to our selfishness of wanting to become adults
大人になりたい僕らのわがままを一つ聞いてくれ
Otona ni naritai bokura no wagamama wo hitotsu kiite kure
Even if we sleep and wake up, just stop time that binds us a little
寝て目覚めても縛られる時間を少しだけ止めて
Nete mezamete mo shibarareru jikan wo sukoshi dake tomete
At least don't cut off our inappropriate nine fruits
せめて不謹慎ない僕らの九の実を切り取らないで
Semete fukinshin na bokura no kyū no mi wo kiritoranai de
It's okay to worry until the time ripens red
赤く熟すその時まで悩めばいいんだろう
Akaku juku su sono toki made nayameba ii ndarou

Cut off our pretense of not being able to become adults
大人になれない僕らの強がりを一つ切ってくれ
Otona ni narenai bokura no tsuyogari wo hitotsu kitte kure
Only those who want to laugh can laugh because we don't run or hide
逃げも隠れもしないから笑いたい奴だけ笑え
Nige mo kakure mo shinai kara waraitai yatsu dake warae
At least don't pick off our unreliable ten eyes
せめて頼りない僕らの十の目をつみとらないで
Semete tayorinai bokura no jū no me wo tsumitoranai de
Just fulfill the role of giving water
水をあげるその役目を果たせばいいんだろう
Mizu wo ageru sono yakume wo hataseba ii ndarou
