やることもなかった16のあの日
居酒屋のバイトの帰りに
いつもの溜まり場の公園
あいつと2人でくっちゃべってたっけ
近づいできた知らない奴に
急に目の前でラップかまされて
マジかよ こんなことあるのかよ
その出会いは全てを変えてったんだ
客は1人もいない フロアに向かい
ステージから本気で歌っている
おい そこのガキンチョ お前の未来ってやつは
俺がいる限り 未だに続いてるぜ
誰も見たことない 景色を探しに行く
俺らのストーリー
泣き顔も笑顔もさらけ出して
次の街へ向かおう
どうせ一度きり なんだから
どでかく花を咲かそう
ガキの頃から同じだな
ずっと夢から覚めない
タバコ吸ってた あの空き地にも
いつのまにか どデカいビルが建ってて
大好きだった あの子も最近
結婚してママになったらしいな
でも相も変わらず この店の
ビールだけは昔から不味くて
懐かしさに身を任せてたら
とっくに3時を回ってた
「あの頃は全てが上手く行くと思ってた」
なんて周りが現実を見始めた
なぁ時の流れは 早すぎるな
明日も仕事と 帰ってくお前の背中を見てた
誰もしたことないことやってみせるから
待っててくれよ
大人になってくお前も熱く
させるような歌を歌おう
振られたあの子も 後悔するくらいの男になるさ
ガキの頃から同じだな
ずっと夢から覚めない
車椅子に乗ってる あいつは
明日のことすら忘れてしまうのに
俺のことは何故か覚えてると
昨日 母さんが嬉しそうに電話してきた
お前がいるから 俺がいる
何度倒れたとしても立ち上がる
どうしようもなかったクソガキは
あの日の落書きから誰かのヒーローに
誰も見たことない 景色を探しに行く
俺らのストーリー
その悲しみもその喜びも
夢の場所へ運ぼう
どうせ一度きり なんだぜ
不可能だとしても行くぜ
ガキの頃から同じだな
未だ音楽にハマってる

Darling, that day when we were just 16 with nothing to do,
We strolled through the park after our居酒屋バイト.
Our usual hangout spot,
Just the two of us, chatting away.
Then, a stranger approached us,
And out of the blue, he started rapping right in front of us.
I couldn't believe it, was this really happening?
That encounter changed everything for us, my love.
With an empty club as our audience,
We stood on stage and sang our hearts out.
Hey there, young whippersnapper, your future,
As long as I'm here, it's still going strong.
We set out to explore uncharted territories,
Our life's journey.
Laying bare our tears and our smiles,
Let's head to the next town.
After all, we only have one shot at this,
So let's make our mark.
We're still the same kids we were back then,
Forever lost in our dreams.
Remember that vacant lot where we used to smoke?
Now it's a towering skyscraper.
And that girl I had a crush on,
I heard she recently got married and became a mom.
But one thing that hasn't changed is this bar,
The beer's still as awful as ever.
As I reveled in the nostalgia,
I realized it was already past 3 AM.
"Things were so much simpler back then,"
That's what everyone says when they start facing reality.
Man, time flies by too fast.
I watched you leave day after day, off to work.
I'm going to keep pushing boundaries, so just you wait.
I'll write songs that will ignite the fire in you,
Even as you grow older.
That girl who broke your heart will regret letting you go,
Because you're going to become an amazing man.
We're still the same kids we were back then,
Forever lost in our dreams.
That friend of ours in a wheelchair,
He may forget about tomorrow,
But for some reason, he always remembers me.
Yesterday, your mom called me, filled with joy.
She said, "Because of you, we have him."
No matter how many times I fall, I'll always get back up.
That good-for-nothing brat we were,
Inspired by those wall scribbles, became someone's hero.
We set out to explore uncharted territories,
Our life's journey.
Through the tears and the triumphs,
We'll carry on to our dreamland.
After all, we only have one shot at this,
So even if it's impossible, we'll go for it.
We're still the same kids we were back then,
Still crazy about music.
