Separate Ways

We've taken the long way around, walking side by side
遠回りばかりしたよね 君と歩いてた
toomawari bakari shita yo ne kimi to aruiteta
Blown by the evening breeze, looking towards tomorrow
夕暮れの風に吹かれて 明日を見ていた
yuugure no kaze ni fukarete ashita o miteita

No matter what happens, I thought I could handle it
何が起きても平気そう思えたよ
nani ga okitemo heiki sou omoeta yo
Back then, in that place, until time piled up
あの日 あの場所で 時を重ねるまで
ano hi ano basho de toki o kasaneru made
A world I didn’t know existed
知らずにいた世界
shirazu ni ita sekai

The seasons keep turning, filling my heart with unspoken words
巡り巡る季節が言えない心満たしてく
megurimeguru kisetsu ga ienai kokoro mitashiteku
Your smile always pushes me forward
いつもその笑顔が 背中を押すから
itsumo sono egao ga senaka o osu kara
The two of us buried in the past, the words we exchanged
過去に埋もれて消えた二人 交わした言葉が
kako ni umorete kieta futari kawashita kotoba ga
Still shine bright, I can feel you close by
今も眩しい ずっと近くに君を感じてるから
ima mo mabushii zutto chikaku ni kimi o kanjiteru kara

Even if I stretch, I can’t see the far-off exit
背伸びをしても見えない 遠い遠い出口
senobi o shitatte mienai tooi tooi deguchi
Caught in the pouring rain, I stood there frozen
降りしきる雨に打たれて 立ち尽くしていた
furishikiru ame ni utarete tachitsukushiteita

If I reach out, warmth is right there
手を伸ばせばそこにある 暖かさ
te o nobaseba soko ni aru nukumori
Even on dark paths, an unwavering light shines at my feet
暗い道でさえ 揺るぎない光が 足元照らしてく
kurai michi desae yurugi nai hikari ga ashimoto terashiteku

Feelings I can’t fully express overflow in my chest
伝えきれない想いが 胸の中に溢れてく
tsutaekirenai omoi ga mune no naka ni afureteku
Tears falling down my cheeks turn into strength
頬を落ちる涙 強さになるから
hoo o ochiru namida tsuyosa ni naru kara
Even if we’re apart, looking up at the night sky alone
たとえ離れてても 一人見上げる夜空は
tatoe hanaretetatte hitori miageru yozora wa
It’s still gentle, I can feel you close by
今も優しい そっと近くに君を感じてるから
ima mo yasashii sotto chikaku ni kimi o kanjiteru kara

When I close my eyes, I can clearly hear your voice
目を閉じると その声が 確かに聞こえてくる
me o tojiru to sono koe ga tashika ni kikoetekuru
Those fleeting days continue on
儚い日々はまた続いていく
hakanai hibi wa mata tsudzuiteiku
The first step I take is guided by the endless courage you gave me
踏み出す一歩を導くのは 君がくれた果てない勇気
fumidasu ippo o michibiku nowa kimi ga kureta hatenai yuuki

The seasons keep turning, filling my heart with unspoken words
巡り巡る季節が言えない心満たしてく
megurimeguru kisetsu ga ienai kokoro mitashiteku
One day, I’ll understand the reason for the tears that fell
いつか零れ落ちた涙の理由も
itsuka koboreochita namida no riyuu mo
The words I wanted to say, buried in the past
過去に埋もれて消えた 伝えたかった言葉が
kako ni umorete kieta tsutaetakatta kotoba ga
Still shine bright, I can feel you close by.
今も眩しい ずっと近くに君を感じてるから
ima mo mabushii zutto chikaku ni kimi o kanjiteru kara
