kanji & kana

    ふと気づく 帰り道
    電気つけたままだっけ?
    まだ慣れてないよ
    街も地下鉄も新しい生活も

    帰りたいとは思わない
    ただ少しさみしいだけ
    学生時代に 無い気持ち
    一人が 初めて だからで
    不安なだけ

    何度もメールを見返し
    何度も涙を流して
    遠い 街を 思い出す
    今 立ち止まれないけど…
    みんなは何してるのかな?
    あのころと変わらないかな?
    またね といい 手をふった
    あの日々を思い出すよ

    「今日は 何をしているの?」
    「変わらない いつも通り」
    会いたい気持ちを伝えられなくて
    冷たいメールばかり

    変わらぬ街の風景も
    洗濯物の匂いも
    全てが 懐かしくみえて
    いつもの 番号 かけると
    優しい声

    冷たくなってしまうのは
    強がっているだけのこと
    きっと 勘で 気づいてる
    そう 昔からだよね
    今日のご飯は何?だとか
    テストの点の話とか
    してた 頃が 懐かしい
    あの日々を思い出すよ

    何度もメールを見返し
    何度も涙を流して
    遠い 街を 思い出す
    今 立ち止まれないけど…
    みんなは何してるのかな?
    あのころと変わらないかな?
    またね といい 手をふった
    あの日々を思い出すよ

english translation

    I suddenly realized on my way home
    I left the lights on, didn't I?
    I'm not used to
    The city, the subway, or my new life yet

    I'm not thinking that I want to return
    Just that I'm a little lonely
    I never had this feeling during my school days
    Because I'm out on my own for the first time
    I'm just full of anxiety

    Looking at old texts over and over
    Shedding tears over and over
    I remember that distant city
    I can't come to a standstill now, but...
    I wonder what everyone is up to?
    Have they changed at all since then?
    Saying "see you again", I waved to them
    I remember those days

    "What are you doing today?"
    "The same as always, it doesn't change"
    I can't tell them how much I miss them
    Nothing but distant-feeling texts

    The unchanging cityscape
    And the scent of the washing
    Everything seems nostalgic
    When I call the usual number,
    A gentle voice

    Being so distant
    Is just me pretending to be strong
    I'm sure they can call my bluff
    Yeah, for a long time now
    I'm nostalgic for the times
    When we talked about stuff like "What did you have to eat today?"
    Or what we got on the test
    I remember those days

    Looking at old texts over and over
    Shedding tears over and over
    I remember that distant city
    I can't come to a standstill now, but...
    I wonder what everyone is up to?
    Have they changed at all since then?
    Saying "see you again", I waved to them
    I remember those days
