Lyrics

夕立ちにかき消された言葉　寂しげに下を向く朝顔
沈黙に包まれた世界は　裏腹に心ざわめく
yuudachi ni kakikesareta kotoba sabishige ni shita wo muku asagao
chinmoku ni tsutsumareta sekai wa urahara ni kokoro zawameku

線香花火の（淡いともし火）消えかけた時の（まだ終わらない）
あやうい姿が（ジタバタしてる）記憶の奥を刺激する
senkouhanabi no (awai tomoshibi) kiekaketa toki no (mada owaranai)
ayaui sugata ga (jitabata shiteru) kioku no oku wo shigeki suru

もう遠すぎて忘れた　あの日感じたこと
もしかして初めから　何も無かったかも
匂いだけ残ってる　暑い夏の夜の夢
目を閉じれば見える
mou toosugite wasureta ano hi kanjita koto
moshikashite hajime kara nani mo nakatta kamo
nioi dake nokotteru atsui natsu no yo no yume
me wo tojireba mieru

気が付けば怖いほど青空　ヒマワリが首を並べて
ki ga tsukeba kowai hodo aozora himawari ga kubi wo narabete

小川のほとりで（優雅に光り）飛んでいた蛍（右へ左へ）
今はもう居ない（今はもう居ない）どこへ隠れて　どこへゆく
ogawa no hotori de (yuuga ni hikari) tonde ita hotaru (migi e hidari e)
ima wa mou inai (ima wa mou inai) doko e kakurete doko e yuku

もう近すぎて見落とした　あの日感じたこと
もしかして初めから　見ないふりをしてた？
匂いだけ残ってる　あの日あの場所の夢
目を閉じれば…ほらね
mou chikasugite miotoshita ano hi kanjita koto
moshikashite hajime kara minai furi wo shiteta?
nioi dake nokotteru ano hi ano basho no yume
me wo tojireba… hora ne

もう遠すぎて忘れた　あの日感じたこと
もしかして初めから　何も無かったかも
mou toosugite wasureta ano hi kanjita koto
moshikashite hajime kara nani mo nakatta kamo

もう近すぎて見落とした　あの日感じたこと
もしかして初めから　見ないふりをしてた？
匂いだけ残ってるあの日あの場所の夢
目を閉じれば…見える
mou chikasugite miotoshita ano hi kanjita koto
moshikashite hajime kara minai furi wo shiteta?
nioi dake nokotteru ano hi ano basho no yume
me wo tojireba… mieru

Translation

Words drowned out by the evening shower, morning glories looking down sadly
The world is wrapped in silence, but my heart is beating wildly

When the sparkler (a faint torch) is about to go out (it’s not over yet)
Its worrying appearance (it’s wriggling) stimulates the depths of my memory

I’m too far gone, I forgot what I felt that day
Maybe nothing ever happened in the first place
Only a scent remains, from a dream on a hot summer night
Close your eyes and you’ll see

I found myself in a frighteningly blue sky. Sunflowers are lining up their necks

Along the stream (glowing gracefully) fireflies were flying (to the right and left)
Now they’re gone (now they’re gone). Where do they hide, where do they go?

I’m too close to it now, I overlooked what I felt that day
Maybe I’ve been pretending not to see it all along?
Only a scent remains, from the dream of that day, in that place
Close your eyes… and there it is

I’m too far gone, I forgot what I felt that day
Maybe nothing ever happened in the first place

I’m too close to it now, I overlooked what I felt that day
Maybe I’ve been pretending not to see it all along?
Only a scent remains, from the dream of that day, in that place
Close your eyes… and you’ll see
