A someone from someplace long ago, someone whose face I can’t even remember
Now, for some reason, I suddenly remember what I heard from them
“Crucial things will always pass unexpectedly right by you”
And then, “Those things can’t be seen with your eyes”

“We are born incomplete, so we do things
In order to become complete someday”, we say la la la…

How long has it been since we were able to believe in things we can’t see with our eyes?
Right now, we see too much of everything and lose our understanding

Lining the paper with mere words without much meaning
And we think that we’ve actually written out lyrics, la la la…

If I find one thing precious to me, I won’t tell anyone about it
Because I’m really strong when I have something to protect
I’ve told you that I can’t always stay in the same place, right?
So let’s leave this city together before the sun rises

“We are born incomplete, so we do things
In order to become complete someday”, we say la la la…

“We just need to share our sorrow and pain and everything with others”
That’s easy for you to say, just try doing it
I’ve told you that I can’t always stay in the same place, right?
So let’s leave this city together before the sun rises

1234567 “0”

(hahahaha) NoNo NoNo
(hahahaha) NoNo NoNo

I knew from the very beginning
That it’s not possible
But still

For just one moment
I wanted to see my dream as achievable
That’s all

(By you) I wanted to be loved by you
(From me) I worked to get close to you, but
(By you) I don’t want to be hated by you
So I worked to get far away

1234567 “0”

I won’t want to do things
Which are not like myself, that’s surely
The truth

Even though I myself was shocked
That the wound is deeper than
I’d imagined

(Of you) Because I love you
(From you) It’s best to disappear from you
(Of you) If I could hate you
It would have been easier

The count that signals the beginning and the end
Rings out mercilessly
The answer you gave me
Was just too kind
That it’s so sad and painful

(By you) I wanted to be loved by you
(From me) I worked to get close to you, but
(By you) I don’t want to be hated by you
So I worked to get far away

(Of you) Because I love you
(From you) It’s best to disappear from you
(Of you) If I could hate you
It would have been easier

(hahahaha) NoNo NoNo
(hahahaha) NoNo NoNo

It can’t be helped that everyone passes by without pausing
You held on to such rubbish with reverence
The people around looked on with curious faces, standing a little apart
Even so, you smiled and told me that “it’s treasure”

Do we lose something
Whenever we gain something big?
As of now, I don’t know anymore
And when we got it back, it must surely have changed a little…

If you’re here, I’m always smiling
If you’re here, I’m always smiling
Crying, living
Without you, I had nothing

Was it myself? Or the people around?
Or was it just the clock? That seemed about to break

How much did your arms hurt from continuing to protect that rubbish?
What have you sacrificed along the way?
We can never become perfect humans, but we can shine distortedly

This road that you’ve found isn’t wide
This road that you’ve found isn’t wide
Nor narrow, but somehow
You’ve polished it alone

Because you were there, I was always smiling
Because you were there, I was always smiling
Crying, living
Without you, I had nothing

“Your freedom is just too dazzling”
To the girl who said that
“Even though I can’t find the meaning of my existence?”
I answered

If humans are creatures who always
Demand for too much
Ah, then just what is it that we really want?

And then, the girl
Struggled with it for a long time
And when she noticed the overwhelming futility
She made a new discovery

We always open the doors to tomorrow
Through our dreams
Ah, even though we know that nothing is for certain
In this world

It’s surely there
The flower waiting for us
At a place as yet unseen
So before
We get so used to
Losing interest
That we just pick up speed

Ah, even if it’s the end of this world
Even if others laugh and call it pointless
Let’s go together, because there is
Nothing more frightening than giving up

Noticing, approaching, ascertaining
Gazing, fascinated, appeased, but

Looking up, noticing, comparing, and hey
Belittling, disturbed, abandoning

Yes, we are connected at each and every place, so
It’s already too late to be thinking about such words with you

Ah, until the day when we fall into an eternal sleep
How many valued words would we have truly exchanged?

Noticing, approaching, ascertaining
Gazing, fascinated, appeased, but

Looking up, noticing, comparing, and hey
Belittling, disturbed, abandoning

Yes, we are connected at each and every place, so
It’s already too late to be thinking about such words with you

How the corners of your eyes turn down with joy
As you laugh without reserve
How you just suddenly turn sulky, like a child
How you’re easily moved to tears

If I had to list all the things I like about you
Even if I had all the time in the world, I’ll never end

Stay as you forever
Never changing, without decoration, just as yourself
Please treasure all that you are
Because you are the only you
Such thoughts about you are surely
What people call love

How we can laugh at those stories
Which seem so funny and ridiculous now
How my heart feels pain
Just by remembering even now

Because you were the one who gently granted me
Every one of these countless memories

It’s ok if we don’t have the words
Just stay beside me, that’s all I need
What I truly feel now
Is something without form, but
Such thoughts about you are surely
What people call love

Because you were the one who gently granted me
Every one of these countless memories

Stay as you forever
Never changing, without decoration, just as yourself
Please treasure all that you are
Because you are the only you
Such thoughts about you are surely
What people call love

It’s ok if we don’t have the words
Just stay beside me, that’s all I need
What I truly feel now
Is something without form, but
Such thoughts about you are surely
What people call love

(Born To Be free since that day)
Born To Be free since that day
We’ve had these dreams

When we chose to go on this journey, we were still innocent
Smiling without reserve, that was you and I

Even though it’s become difficult to smile as innocently
As we used to back then

There are things we understand now
There are things we see now

So I remember once again
That promise I made with you
Not to give up easily

Born To Be free since that day
We’ve had these dreams

Failures have piled up at an astonishing rate, but
We’ve done things such that we have no regrets

If we meet with our past selves somewhere
Let’s tell them not to be anxious about the future

Someday, we will forgive things
Someday, we will smile together

Those nights when you hugged your knees
And cried without anyone knowing
You’ve overcome them, and your small back
Tells me so

There are things we understand now
There are things we see now

Someday, we will forgive things
Someday, we will smile together

So I remember once again
That promise I made with you
Not to give up easily

Born To Be free every day
Never forgetting our dreams
Born To Be free even if today
We’re still far from those dreams
