closer

歌詞

下手な笑顔に笑い返すいつも隣で
君だけを想いながら
悲しみの中を彷徨う　何も語らず
不器用な足で

心が通っていた　いつかを　取り戻せる日が来るまで
何度夜を越えても離れない
大きな溜息をのみこむ　横顔が　どこか儚くて
遠くを見つめていた

堪えた涙　全て吐きだせるように願う
手の温もりに込めて
ずっと繋いでいるから

擦った目が　じんわり赤く
染まった瞬間　塞がれた心に
寄り添うよう伸ばした手が　頼りなくて
虚しく降ろした

揺らめく陽炎の向こうの　君が消えてしまいそうで
締め付けられた胸が　痛くて
必要な言葉を一つもかけられずに　過ぎる時の中で
春を待っている

息を切らして掴んだ　扉が重くて
座り込んで見上げた空へ　叫んだ
つられるように　泣いてほしくて
背を向けたままで

堪えた涙　全て吐きだせるように願う

流れる星に閉じた瞳が君の強さ
叶えたい願いがある
それだけで歩けるから

Translation

I smile awkwardly and you smile back, always by my side.
All the while, I only have feelings for you.
I roam within sadness, saying nothing,
Upon clumsy feet.

Until I can take back the past, in which we understood each other,
No matter how many nights we pass through, I won’t let go.
You took deep sigh. Your face, seen from the side, seemed somewhat empty.
You were looking into the distance.

I endured my tears, praying I could say everything.
I sent my prayers through the warmth of our hands,
Since we will always be connected.

I rubbed my eyes and they gradually turned red.
The moment that happened, your hand
which had been drawing closer to my sealed heart,
Fell in vain.

You seem to vanish beyond a swaying heat haze.
My constricted chest hurts.
I pass the time unable to say a single necessary word,
Waiting for spring.

Out of breath, I laid my hands on the door. It was heavy.
I sat down and screamed at the sky.
I wanted you to cry, to lure me in
as you kept your back faced to me.

I endured my tears, praying I could say everything.

Eyes, sealed away in the shooting stars, are your strength.
There’s a wish I want to come true.
I can walk, through just that.
