何故、旅をするのだろう (Naze, tabi wo suru no darou) – Why do we go on journeys?
from TIMELESS WORLD album.
——
Far away from home, there is another sky tells all.
Why do we go on journeys?
Even though we have chosen a city we like and settled down
Even though society isn’t as cold as they say
To find twilight, we need to focus upon the gaps between the buildings
In the end, these days which we never look back on
Pile up, and we head off with a single, empty bag
A clear color that can’t be captured
By any camera still exists in that sky
Amidst the usual same warmth
We go in search of a new self
At the gate that won’t accept a ticket to your dreams
Check it again before you turn back
The dreams you have, and that destination
Just like walking alone down the nostalgic street
That we might have seen in our youth
We can live on, standing taller than at that time
Tired smiles flowing out the window
Every time we gain one more place to return to
We gain another person we want to meet
“Take care until we meet again”
Eyes blurred with tears and a cracked voice
A clear color that can’t be captured
By any camera still exists in that sky
Amidst the usual same warmth
We go in search of a new self
We go in search of a forgotten answer

Naze tabi wo suru no darou?
Suki na machi wo erande kurashiteiru no ni
Iu hodo tokai mo tsumetaku wa nai no ni
Yuugure wo sagashite wa biru no sukima ni pinto wo awasete
Kekkyoku mi kaeshi mo shinai you na hibi ga
Tsumottara kara no kaban hitotsu de ikou
Donna shashinki demo utsusenai
Sunda iro ga mada ano sora ni wa aru
Itsudemo onaji nukumori no naka ni
Atarashii jibun wo sagashi ni iku
Yume iki no chiketto ga tooranai kaisatsu no mae de
Hiki kaesu mae ni mou ichido tashikamete
Egaite kita yume to sono ikisaki wo
Marude shishunki no koro mita you na
Natsukashii machinami hitori arukeba
Ano koro yori mo senobi shite ikiteru
Tsukareta egao ga mado ni nagareru
Kaeru basho ga hitotsu fueru tabi
Aitai hito ga mata hitori fueteku
“Mata aeru hi made genki de ite ne” to
Urumu hitomi kasureta koe
Donna shashinki demo utsusenai
Sunda iro ga mada ano sora ni wa aru
Itsudemo onaji nukumori no naka ni
Atarashii jibun wo sagashi ni iku
Wasureteta kotae wo sagashi ni iku

何故 旅をするのだろう？
好きな街を選んで 暮らしているのに
言うほど 都会も 冷たくはないのに
夕暮れを探しては ビルの隙間にピントを合わせて
結局 見返しもしないような日々が
積もったら 空のカバン一つで行こう
どんな写真機でも写せない
澄んだ色が まだ あの空にはある
いつでも同じ 温もりの中に
新しい自分を 探しに行く
夢行きのチケットが 通らない改札の前で
引き返す前に もう一度 確かめて
描いてきた夢と その行き先を
まるで 思春期の頃見たような
懐かしい街並み 一人歩けば
あの頃よりも 背伸びして生きてる
疲れた笑顔が 窓に流れる
帰る場所が一つ増える度
会いたい人がまた一人増えてく
「また会える日まで 元気でいてね」と
潤む瞳 かすれた声
どんな写真機でも写せない
澄んだ色が まだ あの空にはある
いつでも同じ 温もりの中に
新しい自分を 探しに行く
忘れてた答えを 探しに行く
