kanji & kana

    何となく似てる そんな感じがしたの
    そう君と初めて逢った時
    人見知りして様子を見てる
    不器用なとこ 私と同じ

    ゆっくりと少しずつ言葉交わして
    心と心 向き合えたよね
    同じ空見て 思う何かが
    とても近いとわかって来た

    表情を見てるだけで
    胸の内 伝わるから
    私だけがつらいんじゃない
    何だか安心した

    君となら歩いて行ける
    そうどんなに長い道程(みちのり)でも
    本当の自分で歩いて行く
    背伸びをしないで
    あるがままに
    2人は変わらず
    あるがままに

    お互いが何となくわかり過ぎて
    先回りして喧嘩もしたね
    ぶつかったその痛みも
    最後は分かち合って来た

    人前で泣けないから
    いつだって微笑んでいた
    その胸に隠したもの
    私もどこかにある

    君となら夢見て行ける
    もし悲しい雨に降られたって
    濡れながら普通の自分でいい
    飾ることもなく
    信じるまま
    2人は未来を
    信じるまま

    君となら歩いて行ける
    そうどんなに長い道程(みちのり)でも
    本当の自分で歩いて行く
    背伸びをしないで
    あるがままに

    君だから一緒に行ける
    どんなことが先に待ち受けても
    同じよに涙を流せるから
    一人じゃないんだ
    強くなれる
    君がよくわかる
    私と似てる

english translation

    I sensed you were somehow like me
    The first time we met
    I saw how shy you acted
    Your awkwardness was just like mine

    We slowly began to converse
    And open up our hearts to each other
    As we looked up at the same sky
    I knew we were thinking of the same things

    Just by looking at your expression
    I know, deep down in my heart
    That I’m not the only one struggling
    I was somewhat relieved

    Since it’s with you, I can go on
    No matter how long the journey gets
    I can go on as my true self
    Without pushing myself
    Just as I am
    The two of us won’t change
    We’ll remain just as we are

    We somehow knew each other too well
    We anticipated and even fought with each other
    But even the pain of these conflicts
    Was ultimately shared between us

    We don’t cry in front of other people
    So we’re always smiling
    The things hidden in your heart
    Are hidden in mine too

    Since it’s with you, I can face my dreams
    It’s ok to get drenched with sorrow
    As long as we remain our usual selves
    Without any embellishments
    Just continuing to trust
    The two of us
    Will continue to trust in the future

    Since it’s with you, I can go on
    No matter how long the journey gets
    I can go on as my true self
    Without pushing myself
    Just as I am

    Because it’s you, we can go on together
    No matter what kind of future we anticipate
    But because we’ll cry the same kind of tears
    I’m not alone
    So I can be strong
    As you well know
    I’m just like you
