Boku Kara Kimi E (English Translation) Lyrics

The conclusion was unexpectedly put off
Because our confidence inflated before shriveling

We all want to have the proof that we're walking
So we turn around and stop to confirm how far we've traveled

The steam train carrying children who can't become adults
Goes back and forth between ideals they haven't given up and here

There is no way I could understand or agree
And I can't put this into words either
And though I walk using all the tricks in my book
The steam train is traveling above my head, high in the sky

I wonder where it's going

My reason for not advancing is that I don't have sturdy boots
I can't adapt, my growth process has always matched the theory
Frustrated, I remove my shoes and stand on my bare tiptoes
It looks like my legs are much more resilient than I thought

I found your footprints in a cloud of sand
The promise we made that day fell from the train's window

I don't want a dream that I would only carry
I've stopped making excuses for not advancing
We started walking in opposite directions
But the sky above our heads extends forever with the same coldness

This song I can hear is an oath

Faster, and faster
My feet go towards the horizon
I sing all my hesitations, longings
Hopes and complaints under the same sky
So you can hear them

The more your back got away
The more it became strong, big and definite
When I turned back, I could see you
I must proceed towards my own horizon

It's alright if I don't understand or agree
I won't pretend to know
The steam train let out a steam whistle somewhere
It's a future we suddenly saw above our heads, high in the sky
