Lyrics and translation
Original
期待しない方が利口です
明るくない将来はお見通し
極力深入りせぬよう 関係を保とうと努めた
何にしたって
いつだって 傷つくだけ
静かに傷つくだけ
少しずつ すり減らすだけ
心をすり減らすだけ
ベランダにサーフボードは眠ってる
ここ四、五年 ビーチは未踏の地
疲れ引きずる週末は 苛立ちを解放しようもなく
ひたすら焦ってる
毎日を 塗り潰すだけ
がむしゃらに塗り潰すだけ
実際は 空っぽになるだけ
心が空っぽになるだけ
「いつになく笑っていれたかな？」
そんな日だって存在してたっけ？たっけ？
胸の中で光ったお宝
そっとそっと 仕舞った
今日だって ぶち壊すだけ
他意もなくぶち壊すだけ
どうしようもなく 虚しくなるだけ
自分が虚しくなるだけ
それでも やり直すだけ
もう一度やり直すだけ
ただただ毎日を 繰り返すだけ
何度でも繰り返すだけ
Again, again, again
「いつになく笑っていれたかな？」
そんな僕も存在してたっけ？たっけ？
優しい気持ちになれた日は
君が 君が
「いつになく笑っていれたよな」
そんな日が訪れるように祈って祈って
胸の中にしまったお宝
そっとそっと 今日も優しく光った
English translation
It's smarter not to have expectations
I can't foresee a bright future
I tried to maintain the relationship without getting too deeply involved.
No matter what
It always just hurts
It just hurts silently
Just wear it out little by little
It just wears my heart out
The surfboard is sleeping on the balcony
For the past four or five years, beaches have been unexplored.
On a tired weekend, I can't seem to release my frustration.
I'm so anxious
Just fill out every day
Just fill it in with all your might
In reality, it's just empty
My heart just becomes empty
“Were you able to smile like never before?”
Did such a day even exist? What?
A treasure that shines in my heart
I quietly put it away
Even today, I'll just destroy it
Just destroy it without any purpose
There's nothing I can do, I just feel empty
I just feel empty
Still, just try again
just try again
Just repeating every day
Just repeat as many times as you like
Again, again, again
“Were you able to smile like never before?”
Did I even exist? What?
The day I felt kind
you you you
"You were smiling like never before."
Pray and pray for such a day to come
The treasure I keep in my chest
Gently, gently, it shined gently today too
