from LOVE TRIP single.

The city that we know
Just where did it go?
Vacant plots, small knolls, all gone
A scenery we’ve never seen before spread before us

Modifying our memories
We had become adults before we knew it
To the past or future?

I wanna go
LOVE TRIP
To the other side of time
LOVE TRIP
Let’s go back there
That time locked at the back of our hearts
I was there
LOVE TRIP
Where are you?
LOVE TRIP
Wanna see you
There’s something I’ve always forgot to tell you
Love has always somehow been overwritten
But I remember that first sorrow
Under the summer sky
Where I met you

You’re always smiling kindly
In our graduation photo
Whenever my heart broke
I gazed upon it countless times, a continuation of a dream

Back then, what kind of future
Did we imagine with much anticipation?
I can’t remember

I wanna do
LOVE TRIP
To search for you…
LOVE TRIP
Once again
A youth where we talked only of ideals
You were there
LOVE TRIP
What are you doing?
LOVE TRIP
Wanna see you
There’s something I’ve never been able to tell you
And I continue to regret to this day
About how I hid my feelings away…
If I don’t say “I love you”
Summer won’t end

What should I say if I meet you?
At a corner of the schoolyard, just like on that day
Now that I’ve become an adult
Have I become more honest?

I wanna go
LOVE TRIP
To the other side of time
LOVE TRIP
Let’s go back there
That time locked at the back of our hearts
I was there
LOVE TRIP
Where are you?
LOVE TRIP
Wanna see you
There’s something I’ve always forgot to tell you
Love never disappears, just covered up by the heart
So sometimes, I want to open it up
Under the blue summer sky
That makes me think of you

KANJI

僕らの知ってる街は
どこへ行ってしまったのだろう?
空き地も丘も消えてた
見たことない景色が広がる

記憶を修正しながら
いつしか大人になってしまった
過去か未来か?

I wanna go
LOVE TRIP
時間(とき)の彼方へ
LOVE TRIP
帰ろう
胸の奥にしまっていたあの頃
I was there
LOVE TRIP
君はどこにいる?
LOVE TRIP
会いたい
ずっと言い忘れたことがあるんだ
恋はいつしか上書きされて行くもの
だけど最初の切なさ覚えてる
君と出会った
夏の空の下

卒業写真の中で
君はずっとやさしく微笑む
心が折れる度に
夢の続き 何度も眺めた

あの時 僕らは期待して
どういう未来を想像してたか?
思い出せない

I wanna do
LOVE TRIP
君を探しに…
LOVE TRIP
もう一度
理想だけを語り合った青春
You were there
LOVE TRIP
君は何してる?
LOVE TRIP
会いたい
ずっと言えなかったことがあるんだ
僕は今日まで後悔し続けている
自分の気持ちを隠していたことを…
好きと言えなきゃ
夏は終わらない

君に会えたら何を言えるのだろう?
あの日と同じ 校舎の片隅で
大人になった僕はようやく
正直になれるのだろうか?

I wanna go
LOVE TRIP
時間(とき)の彼方へ
LOVE TRIP
帰ろう
胸の奥にしまっていたあの頃
I was there
LOVE TRIP
君はどこにいる?
LOVE TRIP
会いたい
ずっと言い忘れたことがあるんだ
恋は消えずに 心が蓋をするもの
だから時々 開いてみたくなる
君を想った
夏の青い空
