Hokorobi

Lyrics (English translation)

Let's walk to your town
At a shop I don't know
on the seam between towns
let's buy some flowers
Taking the long way isn't so bad

Things I dreamed of as a child
Things at the back of the drawer
Back when the hollows in the asphalt
from the downpour hadn't faded yet

For now, let's just sing
on a chair at the edge of this world
Even that kid who can't find the courage
is playing hide-and-seek under the overpass

If I could forget all of this and that
and become that sunlight through the leaves
even mismatched words
could stay just as they are
Even this meaningless time
still matters for now, doesn't it
Until this heartbeat falls silent
what is it that I can do?

Let's walk to the end of the rainbow
Let's water the soil in the gap
on the seam between roads
though I don't know if a flower will bloom
Even if you can't hide your tears
I'll hold out my umbrella
I won't forget your pain
I'll forget my own

Between "welcome home" and "I'm home"
let's turn the hourglass over
By the time this heartbeat falls silent
what will I be looking at?
