君の名前を呼んだ後に (Kimi no namae wo yonda ato ni) – After calling your name
from
Kimi no namae wo yonda ato ni single,
EXPLORER album.
——
Written on a signboard in the deserted train station
Is a name I’m seeing for the first time
The coffee that comes in paper cups
No matter where I buy it from, it always tastes horrible
Because what’s precious to me is far away
I am here now on a whim
You are the only one in this world
In the city I will be returning to now, but
I want to see you soon
I don’t care what words you use
What will you say after calling my name?
I want to hear it right now
Are you doing fine today?
Is life without me less troublesome?
“Maybe it’s not so bad that he’s not here”
Are you thinking that?
Telling me to come back quick
Looking forward to my return
It made me proud, and now it’s hard to imagine
How certain the feeling of you being by my side was
If the warmth in these fingertips
Is made to be shared with someone
Then the paper cup coffee
Might not be so bad after all
I want to see you soon
Want to see you soon, want to see you
After calling your name
I will say thank you for always staying by my side
