Mukashi Kodomodatta Hitotachie

Koutei no ichou namiki sabi kusai tetsubou
Nigate datta saka agari hakitsubushita uwabaki
Zenbu ga bokura no atari mae de itsu made mo bokura kaze no naka
Kyoukasho no sumi, dare ni mo mirarenai you ni
Osae kirezu kaita suki na ko no inisharu to ka
Yuugure ichinichi no owari tsugeru beru ga nakeba
Hashiridasu bokura, dagashiya e kamikakushi
Himitsu wo minna de wakeatte kyuuyuu shiteta dare datte
Nani shitatte mainichi tanoshikute "mata ashita"
Kimi wa nani wo kakae nani wo sutete otona ni natta?
Hitonami ni zasetsu mo shita? Hitonami tte ittai nan da?
Tabako wo fukichirashite shibonda yume burasagete
Kyou ga owaru no wo matteru
Ano koro no bokutachi wa nan ni de mo nareta
Kimi wa nani wo kakae nani wo sutete otona ni natta?
Surikirete yatsureta kokoro mitakunai shi, miserarenai na
Koronde hiza wo surimuku koto nante nakunatta yo ne
Hitotsu wo manabi kashikoku natte
Itami wo sakeru otona ni natte yume wa mizu ni hibi wo shouka shite
Bokura wa nan ni natta? Nan ni nareta?

Mukashi Kodomodatta Hitotachie

An avenue of royal ginkgo trees, rusty monkey bars
Plimsolls I couldn’t bear to climb, now they’re pale and worn
They were all a part of our everyday lives, and when they’re gone we’re scattered by the wind
In the margins of our textbooks, invisible to all
We’d write the name of our crush, or something similar
When the evening bell tolls the end of the day
We all run out to play, spirits high and carefree
We’d all share our secrets and dreams, because we were all friends
Every day was fun, and we’d always say “See you tomorrow”
What did you take with you, what did you leave behind when you grew up?
Did you become crushed by society? What is the norm anyway?
Smoking cigarettes, chasing dreams long gone
Waiting for the day to end
Back then, we could have been anything
What did you take with you, what did you leave behind when you grew up?
You’re tired now, your spirit broken, you don’t want to look, no you can’t look
We don’t fall and graze our knees anymore
We learned something, we grew up
We became adults who avoid hurt, our dreams are like ripples in water
What have we become? What have we achieved?
