Verse 1
Before the ticket gate, hands holding handsThe usual bustle, a new windI was supposed to see you off with a smileBut I couldn't smile right, just watching youChorus
So that the season when you grow upWon't overflow with sad songsI wanted to tell you something at the endI was searching for words to replace "goodbye"Verse 2
I thought that holding your hand, guiding youWas my purposeBut now I understand, if it's usThe days we've stacked up, see, they guide usChorus
As the time when you grow upFalls and piles up, I change tooIf there were a song like this thereWe two could stay connected no matter whenBridge
Suddenly a bell rings out of nowhereI panic, our hands slip, you drift awayDesperately I call out and hold you tightWherever you go, I'll protect you with my voiceChorus
From the day you appeared before meEverything looked differentThe morning, the light, the tears, the singing voiceYou gave me radianceI'll put these feelings I can't hold back into this voiceAnd send it far to your townIf it's a song like thisWe can stay connected no matter where we areVerse 1
改札の前 つなぐ手と手いつものざわめき 新しい風明るく見送るはずだったのにうまく笑えずに君を見ていたChorus
君が大人になってくその季節が悲しい歌で溢れないように最後に何か君に伝えたくて「さよなら」に代わる言葉を僕は探してたVerse 2
君の手を引くその役目が僕の使命だなんてそう思ってただけど今わかったんだ 僕らならもう重ねた日々がほら, 導いてくれるChorus
君が大人になってくその時間が降り積もる間に僕も変わってくたとえばそこにこんな歌があればふたりはいつもどんな時もつながっていけるBridge
突然ふいに鳴り響くベルの音焦る僕 解ける手 離れてく君夢中で呼び止めて 抱き締めたんだ君がどこに行ったって僕の声で守るよChorus
君が僕の前に現れた日から何もかもが違くみえたんだ朝も光も涙も, 歌う声も君が輝きをくれたんだ抑えきれない思いをこの声に乗せて遠く君の街へ届けようたとえばそれがこんな歌だったらぼくらは何処にいたとしてもつながっていけるWhat the song means
