more than words
Hitsujibungaku

[Verse 1]
彼が言った言葉
kare ga itta kotoba
He said those words,

何度も思い返して
nando mo omoi kaeshite
I keep replaying them in my mind,

上手く返事できたか？
umaku henji dekitaka?
Did I respond well?

グルグルグルする
guru guru suru
Turning around and around,

いつからか正解を　選ぶのが楽になって
itsukaraka seikai wo erabu noga raku ni natte
At some point, it became easier to choose the right answer,

本音言う無邪気なペース
honne wo yuu mujyaki na pe-su
Speaking candidly at an innocent pace,

適当に誤魔化している
tekitou ni gomaka shiteru
Casually deceiving.

[Chorus]
だってどうだっていいって笑っても
datte doudatte iitte warattemo
Because even when I laugh and say, ‘It doesn’t matter,’

まだ自分のことを愛したいんだって
mada jibun no kotowo aisitain datte
like I still want to love myself,

もがいているんでしょう？
mogaite irun desyou?
Are you struggling?

きっと間違いだらけのストーリー
kitto machigai darakeno sutoorii
Surely, it’s a story full of mistakes,

溺れそうな夜も一人じゃないから
oboresouna yoru mo hitori jyanaikara
Even on nights when it feels like I’m drowning, “you not alone.”

Just be by your side

Ha-ha, ha-ha, yeah

And give you more than words

Give you more than words

Oh-oh, ah-oh, eh-yeah

[Verse 2]
書きかけのメール
kakikake no meeru
An unfinished email,

振り出しに戻して
furidasi ni modoshite
Back to the beginning,

決めきれない自分に
kimekirenai jibun ni
To myself who can’t make up my mind,

グルグルグルする
guru guru suru
Turning around and around,

分からないことが多すぎる世界じゃ
wakaranai koto ga oosugiru sekai jya
In a world where there are too many things I don’t understand,

賢いふりをしても
kashikoi furi wo shitemo
Even if I pretend to be wise,

傷ついたりする
kizutsuitari suru
I still get hurt.

[Pre-Chorus]
いつからか失敗を避けるのにむきになって
itsukaraka sippai wo sakerunoni mukininatte
At some point, I became obsessed with avoiding failure,

本当に欲しいもの諦めて、何がしたいか
hontouni hoshii mono akiramete, naniga shitainoka
I gave up on what I really wanted, and I couldn’t see

見えなくて見過ごして
mienakute misugoshite
What I wanted to do, so I overlooked it.

絶望だけ得意になって
zetsubou dake tokui ni natte
I became good only at despair,

それをもう手遅れと
sore wo mou teokureto
But it’s a little too soon

決めるにはちょっと早いね
kimeruniwa chotto hayaine
To decide that it’s already too late.

[Chorus]
だってどうしようもないときでも
datte dousiyoumo nai tokidemo
Because even when it feels like there’s nothing I can do,

まだ自分のことを信じたいんだって
mada jibun no koto wo shinjitaindatte
I still want to believe in myself,

気づいているんでしょう？
kizuite irundesyou?
You must have realized, right?

きっと同じような痛みを辿ってく夜がきみにもあるなら
kitto onaji youna itami wo tadotteku yoru ga kimi nimo arunara
Surely, if there are nights when you too are going through similar pain.

Just be by your side

Ha-ha, ha-ha, yeah

And give you more than words

Give you more than words

[Post-Chorus]
I get it now, get it now, yeah

I get it now, get it now

[Bridge]
この先は何一つ譲れない
kono saki wa nanihitotsu yuzurenai
In the future, I won’t give up on anything,

全力で
zenryokude
With all my might,

I get it now, get it now

どんな暗間だって照らすライト
donna kurayami datte terasu raito
No matter how dark the space, I’ll shine a light,

あなたがいること
anata ga irukoto
Because you’re here.

転んで泥だらけも仕方ない
koronde doro darake mo shikata nai
Even if I stumble and get covered in mud,

やめらんない
yamerannai
I can’t stop,

I get it now, get it now

損得見てちゃ何も生まれない
sontoku mite cha nani mo umarenai
If you’re always calculating gains and losses,

まだまだ
madamada
Nothing will be born.

we can head to freedom

いつもただ瞬間に賭けてたい
itsumo tada syunkan ni kaketetai
I always want to bet on the moment.

言い訳はもういらない
iiwake wa mou iranai
I don’t need excuses anymore

live only once

踊り出せミュージックは止まらない
odoridase myuujikku wa tomaranai
Start dancing, the music won’t stop,

何にも怖くないわ
nan nimo kowaku naiwa
I’m not afraid of anything.
