Sakamichi Lyrics

(back to home)

Shadougawa ( ▶ )
車道側 (Roadway)

himawari no kisetsu ano koro no kouen de

during sunflower season, in the same park where we hanged out back then,

itsumo dou demo ii kinkyou wo houkoku shiteru

we always update each other on meaningless things only

honto wa motto daiji na koto tsutaetai

i really want to talk to you about things that actually matter

sore nanoni doushite kanjou wo sorashite shimau?

so why do i always find myself avoiding it, instead?

kawaranu keshiki ni anshin suru you ni toki wa tomaru

it's like i feel so reassured by the familiar surroundings that time just stops

dare ga suki nante iiaeta ano hibi wa dokoka ni kieta

those days when we could tell each other about who we liked are now gone

【CHORUS 1 START】

bokutachi wa mou nannen tomodachi de irun darou?

just how many years have we been friends for by now?

deatta youchien kara zuibun tatta

a long time has passed since we met in kindergarten

kimi yori mo se ga hikukatta shounen wa itsunomanika

at some point, this boy who used to be shorter than you

ASUFARUTO ni otona no kage ga mou nobiteiru

started casting an adult's shadow over the asphalt

shadougawa wo arukou sou boku ga...

yeah, i'll keep walking down the roadway...

【CHORUS 1 END】

aozora miage nagareru kumo ni notte
sekai no doko e to ittemitai ka mousou shita

looking at the sky, i imagined where in the world i'd want to go
if i could ride on the drifting clouds

sonna yume bakari no hitomi no mukou wa jibun no michi

my eyes are full of nothing but those kinds of dreams, but my path lies beyond them

otona ni narutte sou iu koto nanda

turns out, that's what it means to grow up

sorezore no mirai

we each have our own futures

【CHORUS 2 START】

bokutachi wa mou korekara tomodachi ja irarenai no kana

i wonder if we won't be able to be friends like this anymore

otagai no kyorikan ga muzukashiku naru

our dynamic gets more and more difficult to figure out

ima made aete furenakatta amazuppai kanjou wa nani?

what are these bittersweet feelings that i've always avoided touching on?

itsudatte osananajimi wa chikakute tooi

childhood friends always feel close and distant at the same time

hodou mo shadou mo ki ni shinaide narabu

paying no mind to whether we're on the roadway or the walkway, we walk side by side

【CHORUS 2 END】

kawaranu keshiki ni anshin suru you ni toki wa tomaru

it's like i feel so reassured by the familiar surroundings that time just stops

dare ga suki nante iiaeta ano hibi wa dokoka ni kieta

those days when we could tell each other about who we liked are now gone

【CHORUS 1 REPEATS】

doko ni itatte kimi no koto ga suki da

wherever we may be, i always love you
