Because... The you from that day said, "Let's go"
Because...
You held my hand and smiled
I noticed that day
Even pretending to be vague
Because...
I started writing, but kept returning to a blank page
I try to smile, but it disappears in the mirror
I kept searching for a reason in the trivial days
Maybe I know it
But, do you know it?
The fading cityscape becomes blurry and melts away
Is the moon beautiful?
Because I'm always by your side,
Even if your eyes blur, even your voice,
I can get through any night
Because...
You are here now, nodding at me
You turn your gaze away and smile
Just that, I can take the first step
You held my hand and smiled
I noticed that day
Even pretending to be vague... because...
I'm not good at writing words
But more than anything, it's you, because...
You trip over things even when there's nothing there, right?
You always say you've cut your bangs too short
You put others first and put yourself last
The you I know
That's why I can't just leave you alone
The city at dawn is dyed in fleeting colors
If it clears up like this...
Even if we're born again in tens of years,
I'll find you and hold you tight
This line is embarrassing, but
Because...
You should stay just like you are from now on
Please understand that
I'm thinking of you just like that
Unaware, without realizing it,
I've gotten used to deceiving myself
Even though I already know the reason,
I lie to my heartbeat, staring at your profile
I always want to be by your side,
I'll wipe away your blurry eyes
Any night, I'll hold your hand and go,
You nod and stay true to yourself
I softly look into your eyes and smile
Just that, I've already started taking the first step
You held my hand and smiled
Just like that day
Even if it's vague, it's fine, because...
I'm not good at writing words
But you are the reason, because...
Because... あの日の君が言う「行こう」
Because...
手を握って笑った
あの日気がついた
朧げなフリも
Because...
書きかけてはまた白紙に戻した
笑ってみるけど鏡に消えていく
くだらない日々の中に探し続けた理由
僕は知ってるのかも
でも、君は知ってるのかな?
暮れる街並みは ぼやけて溶けていく
月は綺麗かな。
いつもいつでもずっと隣にいるから
滲む瞳もその声も
どんな夜も越えて行けるよ
Because...
君が今ここにいて頷いてくれた
ちょっと目を逸らし微笑(わら)う
それだけでもう踏み出せるから
手を握って笑った
あの日気がついた
朧げなフリも... because...
綴る言葉なんて上手くもないけど
何より君なんだ because...
何もないのによく躓いてるでしょ
前髪はいつも切りすぎたって言うし
誰かのことばかりで自分後回しなの
僕が知る君は
だから放っておけないんだよ
明け方の街は 儚げに染まる
このまま晴れたら。
いつか何十年後生まれ変わっても
君を見つけて抱きしめる
こんなセリフ照れくさいけど
Because...
君はこの先ずっとそのままでいいんだ
それだけはわかってよ
僕はそんな君を想ってる
気づけないまま気づかないまま
誤魔化すのに慣れて
理由なんて探すほどもうわかりきってるのに
鼓動に嘘ついて見つめている その横顔
いつもいつでもずっと隣にいてほしい
滲む瞳は拭うから
どんな夜もこの手繋ぐよ、行こ
君が君らしくいて頷いてくれる
そっと目を見つめ微笑(わら)う
それだけでもう踏み出してる
手を握って笑った
あの日と同じだ
朧げでもいい because...
綴る言葉なんて上手くもないけど
君こそ理由だよ because...
