十七歳

見慣れた街 17の秋
抑えきれない感情の波
眼に映る全てが敵に見えた
舐められない様 尖って見せた
二度目の停学＝退学へリーチ
まぁそれも楽でいい
次第に学校も行かなくなった
親も諦めてしばらく経った
生きることすらそもそも不得手
部屋にこもる時間だけが増えて
親のいないある日のチャイム
無視してたけどしつこさに参る
インターホン 女の声
隣のクラスの新人教師 何故ここへ？
「あんたが出てくるまで来る」
まっすぐな声が神経逆撫でする
それから本当に毎日来ては
小うるさく説教してみせた
意気地なしだなんだ好き勝手言う
んなこと俺が一番わかってる
言う通りするのも癪だけど
このままじゃ地獄まで着いて来られそう
「わかった顔出すよ」つい言った
その時の笑顔が一番効いた

17's blues
ずっとその声は聞こえてたんだ
でもそれはでもそれはあまりに眩しすぎて
17's blues
ずっとその声を探してたんだ
ねぇもしも 夢が叶うなら もう一度...
来たら来たで厄介な日々だ
今までのツケが響いた
赤点が1, 2, 3...
どのみち進級は厳しいな
居心地の悪いこの場所
でもあいつがやって来る放課後
受け持ち外の教科の補修
日が暮れるまで居残る
段取りが良いとは言えなかった
けど必死な眼から逃げられなかった
ついつられて頑張った
多分あいつに認められたかったんだ
おかげで進級した新学期
どこにもあいつがいない
なんでもだいぶ遠くの街に
急に決まった異動らしい
「挨拶もなしでなんでやめた？」
教頭捕まえてやっと聞き出せた
どうやら俺の面倒ばかり見すぎて関係を疑われた
「ふざけんな！」怒声が校舎に響く
あいつは今どこにいる？
...でもどのツラ下げて会いに行ける？
やり場のない気持ち風に消える

17's blues
ずっとその声は聞こえてたんだ
でもそれはでもそれはあまりに眩しすぎて
17's blues
ずっとその声を探してたんだ
ねぇもしも 夢が叶うなら...
見慣れない街 ハタチの秋
俺が進学とか笑える話
少しだけどツレも出来た
実はささやかな夢も出来た
そんなある日寝過ごして知らない駅
終電逃しタクシー乗る羽目に
ふてくされた俺の目に
飛び込んだ嘘みたいな運命
少し髪が伸びたあいつがいた
と思えば向こうも気がついた
積もる話が止まらない
でも伝えたいのはこんな言葉じゃない
意を決して勇気を出した
その時 彼女に迎えが来た
少し年上の男
胸には彼女に良く似た子ども
「 出会って二年、籍も入れたんだ」
そう言って彼女ははにかんだ
俺の知らない笑顔を見て
出かかった言葉を押し殺して
最後に「ありがとう」だけ伝えた
何年かぶりに涙が出た
この涙の二つ目の意味は
俺だけ知ってりゃそれでいいや
17's Blues
ずっとその声は聞こえてたんだ
でもそれはでもそれはあまりに眩しすぎて (Aha)
17's Blues
ずっとその声を探してたんだ
ねぇもしも 夢が叶うなら
もう一度

Seventeen

I'm used to it, the streets, the autumn of 17
I can't contain the waves of emotion
Everything I saw seemed like an enemy
I tried to look tough, so I wouldn't get messed with
A second suspension meant expulsion was near
Well, that would be easier
Eventually, I stopped going to school altogether
My parents had given up on me for a while
I was bad at life in the first place
I just spent more and more time shut in my room
There was a knock at the door one day when my parents weren't home
I ignored it, but their persistence wore me down
An intercom, a woman's voice
A new teacher from the neighboring class, why were they here?
"'Til you come out, I'll stay,"
Her straightforward voice grated on my nerves
And then they really came everyday
Preaching annoyingly at me
Calling me a coward and other stuff like that
I knew that better than anyone
It would be annoying to do what they said
But if I kept going like this, they might follow me to hell
"'Alright, I'll come out," I finally said
Their smile at that moment was the most effective

17's blues
I had heard that voice the whole time
But it was, but it was much too bright
17's blues
I had been searching for that voice the whole time
Hey, if my dream came true, one more time...
Having come, it was a difficult time
The consequences of what I had done caught up with me
Failing one, two, three... tests
I would most likely not move up a grade
This uncomfortable place
But, there was the time after school when they would come
Tutoring me in subjects that weren't their responsibility
Staying after hours until sunset
It couldn't be said that they were efficient
But I couldn't escape their desperate gaze
I couldn't help but do my best
I probably wanted them to recognize me
Thanks to them, I moved up a grade to the new semester
They weren't there anywhere
It seems like they moved to some faraway town
They said that it was a transfer that was suddenly decided
"'Why did you quit without saying goodbye?'"
I finally found out by grabbing the head teacher
It seems like because they spent too much time worrying about me, they were suspected of being involved with me
"'This is ridiculous!'" My angry voice echoed through the school building
Where are they now?
...But, with what face could I go and see them?
My pent-up feelings disappeared with the wind

17's blues
I had heard that voice the whole time
But it was, but it was much too bright
17's blues
I had been searching for that voice the whole time
Hey, if my dream came true...
I'm in an unfamiliar city, autumn of 20
It's funny to think that I moved up to the next grade
I've made a few friends
I've actually made a modest dream
One day, I overslept and ended up at an unfamiliar station
I missed the last train and ended up taking a taxi
To my pouting self
Fate came at me as if it were a lie
They were there, their hair a little longer
And then, they noticed me
Our stories poured out, one after another
But what I wanted to say wasn't anything like this
I steeled myself and worked up my courage
A someone came to greet them
An older man
In their arms was a child that looked just like them
"'We met two years ago, and we even got married,"
They said, and they smiled shyly
Seeing the smile that I didn't know
I swallowed the words that I was about to say
In the end, I just said, "'Thank you.'"
It was the first time I cried in years
The second meaning behind these tears
Only I need to know
17's Blues
I had heard that voice the whole time
But it was, but it was much too bright (Aha)
17's Blues
I had been searching for that voice the whole time
Hey, if my dream came true
Once more
