English
I was walking around a nearby lake that day
And I was thinking about the things I left behind
Tough subjects left untouched
I was walking down a lifeless concrete street
And I was wondering
How much further I could have reached
How far I could have reached
Then I almost understood
When we were kids
Nothing was left behind the wall
When we were kids
Stars were always shining bright
We’re still around the corner
We’re on the edge of nowhere
We’re aiming to uncover all the stars
I was joking around with a friend of mine
And I was hoping that
A day like this would never end
A day like this would never end
That was only about a week or two ago
Now I am wondering
How much closer we could be
How close we could have been
Night time is so quiet
And it washes away my fear yeah
It won’t come crashing down on my head
My life is not pathetic
But there are things I can’t let go of
And they won’t stop hurting
Holding me back
When we were kids
Nothing was left behind the wall
When we were kids
Stars were always shining bright
We’re still around the corner
We’re on the edge of nowhere
We’re aiming to uncover all the stars
We’re still around the corner
We’re on the edge of nowhere
We’re aiming to uncover all the stars
Japanese translation
その日僕は近くの湖のまわりを歩いていた
残してきたもの
触れなかった話題について考えながら
僕は味気ないコンクリートの道路を歩きながら
いったいどこまで行けたんだろう
と考えた
僕はどこまで行けたんだろう
そしてなんとなく理解した
僕らが子供だったころ
壁の向こうにはなにもなかった
僕らが子供だったころ
星はいつも明るく輝いてた
僕らはいまだにたどり着かない
限界はまだ遠い
僕らはすべての星を見つけてやろうと企んでいる
僕は友達とふざけ合っていた
こんな日が終わらないように
こんな日に終わりが来ないように
と願いながら
それはたった1、2瞬間前のこと
今の僕はどれだけ近づけたのか
考えてる
僕らはどれだけ近づけたんだろう
夜はとても静かで
恐れなんか洗い流してくれて
僕の頭上に崩れ落ちて来るわけじゃない
僕の人生は惨めじゃない
だけどやりすごせない出来事とかが
今でも痛むし
僕を連れ戻す
僕らが子供だったころ
壁の向こうにはなにもなかった
僕らが子供だったころ
星はいつも明るく輝いていた
僕らはいまだにたどり着かない
限界はまだ遠い
僕らはすべての星を見つけてやろうと企んでいる
僕らはまだたどり着かない
限界はまだ遠い
僕らはすべての星を見つけてやろうと企んでいる
