ikimono gakari-kaerinakunatta yo

心の穴を埋めたいから　優しいフリして笑った
出会いと別れがせわしく　僕の肩を駆けていくよ

ダメな自分が悔しいほど　わかってしまうから損だ
強くはなりきれないから　ただ目をつぶって耐えてた

ほら　見えてくるよ

帰りたくなったよ　君が待つ街へ
大きく手を振ってくれたら　何度でも振り返すから
帰りたくなったよ　君が待つ家に
聞いて欲しい話があるよ　笑ってくれたら嬉しいな

たいせつなことは数えるほど　あるわけじゃないんだ　きっと
くじけてしまう日もあるけど　泣き出すことなんて　もうない

ほら　見えてくるよ

伝えたくなったよ　僕が見る明日を
大丈夫だよってそう言うから　何度でも繰り返すから
伝えたくなったよ　変わらない夢を
聞いて欲しい話があるよ　うなずいてくれたら嬉しいな

帰りたくなったよ　君が待つ街へ
かけがえのないその手に今　もう一度伝えたいから
帰りたくなったよ　君が待つ家に
聞いて欲しい話があるよ　笑ってくれたら嬉しいな

Translation

because i wanted to bury the hole in my heart, i gave a gentle smile
the unpredictable meetings and farewells keep me going forward


i regret being so useless, its bad because i know it
as i can't become any stronger, i just endured on with my eyes closed

look, i can almost see it now


i didn't want to go back to the town where you were waiting
because you waved at me with your big hand, because i just keep going back
i didn't want to go back to the house where you were waiting
there are words from you i'd like to hear, because you smiled at me i am happy


even as i recount the important events, it doesn't mean they're still there, surely
even though there are days i feel crushed, i no longer do something like shedding tear

look, i can almost see it now

i didn't want to tell you about the tomorrow that i see
because you said it'll be okay, because you keep saying it
i didn't want to tell you about my unchanged dreams
there are words i want to hear but if you just gave a nod i would be happy


i didn't want to go back to the town where you were waiting
in your irreplaceable hands now i want to say once again
i didn't want to go back to the house where you were waiting
there are words i want to hear but if you just gave a nod i would be happy
