Romaji:
“’Watashi’ wa ima doko ni aru no” to

Translation:
I look back on the footprint I’ve left again and again
Thinking “Where is ‘me’ now?”
I scooped uo the dead leaves in my arms
And drew my dreams on the autumn window with my numb fingertips
I have wings but I can’t fly
I’m afraid of being alone, it’s too painful
We’re leaving behind those days of cuddling in the gentle sun
And walking on to our lonely dreams
Goodbye isn’t a sad word
It’s a yell that connects us to our respective dreams
I’ll hold the days we spent together in my heart
And take off alone to my next sky
Why do we get impatient for an answer
And search for ourselves in darkness so deep that we get lost in it?
When we have the tears and straightforward smiles
Of just loving someone, right here?
When it comes to our real selves, we get off track, get confused
And think it’s made up by other people’s words
We’ll take hold of our natural weakness and the strength to face it
And start running to tomorrow for the first time
Maybe every time we say goodbye to someone
We can change, we can become stronger
Even if we take off to different skies
This love won’t stop, it still remains in my heart
Ever since I realised there’s no such thing as eternity
The day we laughed together, and the day we sang together
Have become strongly, deeply carved into my heart
That’s why you, that’s why we
Aren’t anybody else, can’t be beaten by anyone
We raised our voices and promised that we’d live our lives our way
Each of us chose our own path
Goodbye isn’t a sad word
It’s a yell that connects us to our respective dreams
Until we meet again someday
I won’t forget this pride, my friend, into the sky
We have a word that we share
It’s a yell that connects our voices, one heart to another
I’ll hold the days we spent together in my heart
And take off alone to my next sky
