Lyrics

Japanese
芽吹いて根付いた営みの火が 灯って香って街に溶け出してた 私の隣の誰かもそっと混ざっている景色 温かいグラデーション ごめんねばかりを無意識にすぐ 使ってしまって本当の心が 痛んでしまっているのか 自分でも分からなくて 時々嫌になるよ 誰かの後でもう一回繰り返してる それもいいけど何か足りないだから 花を選ぼう形の違う私だけの花を まだ途中でしゃがんで迷ってたっていい 選んでく自分の世界 待ちわびていても先を急いでも 歩いて行ける気がした 汗を流し格好もつかないままだって 私はここで生きてる 転んで擦りむけていたって ここにいる私の証 季節の匂いを探したり 指折り暦を数えたり あの時と今を比べたり 悩んで言葉に詰まる 二三歩進んでみては一歩下がったり 何か変われてるかな 準備は出来てるもういいよ これから先の私を探すハナエラビその旅路へ 年を取り時間が経ったら いつか分かるのかな 喜びと悲しみの数 同じだけになったか その時は今よりもっと 感じられるんでしょ 過ごす日々の色と美しさを 甘い記憶も冷たい夢も 私を作る全て 見てみたいよこの先に何があるかって 選択肢探しながら 花を選ぼう形の違う私だけの花を まだ途中でしゃがんで迷ってたっていい 選んでく自分の世界 花を選ぼう花を選ぼう大切な誰かと 泥まみれで少しずつ進む今日だって 嘘じゃない今の私 恰好もつかないままだって 私はここで生きてる 命の声誰かにきっと届いてる 届いてる

With roots in place, it starts to bud Dawn signals the day's bustle. As night fades, the sweet smell begins spreading through the city streets. I start to see all the people passing by me They too are part of life's scenery Blending into warm gradation. We're so quick to say sorry Do we even stop to think That maybe that kind word might end up doing something worse Like breaking our hearts into pieces? No, I can't even say for sure myself But still I find at times I'm so upset. Even after someone is gone, I say it Repeating that same old word Maybe that's fine for some, but it leaves something to be desired. I want to make a bouquet, it can't just be anything It needs flowers that I choose for me. Maybe I'll find it's hard, might not now what to pick, and that's okay. It's all in making the choice, that's the way. Whether pacing to or fro Whether I'm rushing on ahead What matters is I wanted to keep moving. Might make me drenched in sweat, and I won't look cool at all, I'll just bet But that just means I'm alive, right here and now. I might trip, might need to find another way It's all proof that I'm here, I'm alive. Different seasons, different flowers, different smells to find Counting fingers, checking days so I don't forget things Catching myself comparing me now to me back then What to do, don't know how to say it all Take two, three steps forward, or one step back. When I stop and look around, can I see if anything's changed at all? No, I know I can do this, no more doubt Have to go catch up to her, the me that's gone on ahead On the trip to find flowers for her bouquet. Might be after years, after some time passes I'll look back and see for myself All those times I cried, they don't outweight the times I laughed Should do both in equal measure, yeah? Hope I feel it then, hope it sinks into me then 'Cause I sure don't feel it right now The color of these passing days, and the beauty that they hold. Those memories oh-so-sweet, those dreams I'd rather forget No one else could have made it, it's all me. Keep looking on ahead, might be a path to take somewhere beyond here. And if that one won't work, then remember I want to make a bouquet, it can't just be anything It needs flowers that I choose for me. Maybe I'll find it's hard, might not now what to pick, and that's okay. It's all in making the choice, that's the way. I want to make a bouquet, and I will make that bouquet I'll make it with someone that I love. Bad days will come, I'm sure, but I'll make it through, being true to myself. All over with mud, but no lies on me. And I won't look cool at all, I'll just bet But that just means I'm alive, right here and now. It's the sound of my life. Keep trying and someday, someone will hear it They might hear it now.
