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

誰もが通り過ぎてく気にも止めないどうしようもない
そんなガラクタを大切そうに抱えていた
周りは不思議なカオで少し離れた場所から見てた
それでも笑って言ってくれた「宝物だ」と
大きな何かを手に入れながら
失ったものもあったかな
今となってはもうわからないよね
取り戻したところできっと微妙に違っているハズで…
君がいるならどんな時も笑ってるよ
君がいるならどんな時も笑ってるよ
泣いているよ 生きているよ
君がいなきゃ何もなかった
自分自身だったか周りだったかそれともただの
時計だったかな壊れそうになってたものは
ガラクタを守り続ける腕は どんなに痛かったことだろう
何を犠牲にしてきたのだろう
決してキレイな人間(マル)にはなれないけれどね いびつに輝くよ
君が見つけた広くもないこんな道で
君が見つけた広くもない狭くもない
こんな道でどうにかして
君がひとり磨きあげた
君がいたからどんな時も笑ってたよ
君がいたからどんな時も笑ってたよ
泣いていたよ 生きていたよ
君がいなきゃ何もなかった
