Yawarakana Gogo Ni Osoi Choushoku Wo

やわらかな午後に 僕は遅い朝食を
ひとかけらの パンとコーヒーで
思い描いてた僕は 今ここにはいなくて
ただ けだるさ... 繭の様にカラダを包んでるんだ

この所 崩れがちだった空にも
滅入ってく理由はあるんだけど
何より余りに 僕が変われないでいたこと
それに 慣れてた自分が 嫌だったんだ

テーブルに落ちた午後の陽射しは
手の平でそっと触れると暖かくて
冷めてしまった 僕の情熱を 温めるには
それだけで十分な気がした

Ah ふっと息を吐いて コーヒーの中の 自分を見るんだ
Ah 何かを始めるのに遅すぎるなんてないよね?

やわらかな午後に 僕は遅い朝食を
飲みかけのままのコーヒーは
まるで これからも僕についてまわる様な
臆病な苦い後味を 喉の奥に残すけど

やがて潤む西の空の向こうに
たどり着ける答えが あるかも知れないね
だとしたら 明日吹く風の中に
一人僕は 迷わず 行けるのかな

Ah 例えばドアはいつでも 僕の前に開いていたんだろう
Ah でも目を背けたまま 怯えてたのは自分なんだよ

Ah 光の午後に 今までの僕を脱ぎ捨てられたら
Ah 何かを始めるのに 遅すぎるなんてないから

A Late Breakfast on a Gentle Afternoon

On a tranquil afternoon, I partake in a leisurely breakfast,
With a slice of bread and a cup of coffee.
The man I envisioned myself to be is not here,
Only lethargy, enveloping my body like a cocoon.

The skies have been gloomy lately,
And I have my reasons for feeling down,
But most of all, it's because I haven't changed.
And I resent myself for growing accustomed to it.

The afternoon sun casts its rays upon the table,
Its warmth seeping through my palm,
As if it were enough to rekindle
The passion that has long since cooled within me.

Ah, I exhale softly, gazing upon my reflection in the coffee.
Ah, it's never too late to start anew, is it?

On a gentle afternoon, I partake in a leisurely breakfast,
The coffee I left untouched,
A bitter aftertaste, like the memories that linger,
Haunting me with their timid taste.

But yonder, where the sun bathes the western sky,
Perhaps there lies an answer I seek,
And if so, in the breeze that blows tomorrow,
Will I, alone, be able to fearlessly venture forth?

Ah, the door was always open before me, I know,
Ah, but it was I who turned away, consumed by fear.

Ah, in the light of this afternoon, could I shed my former self,
Ah, for it is never too late to start anew.
