[Verse 1]
Hey, you know, just a little while ago I nearly collided with a bicycle
Angrily, the old guy told me, "Watch out! You gotta look ahead when you walk!"
But you know, somehow I couldn't bring myself to. I just didn't have the will to raise my head
I didn't even have the energy to walk
But I had to make my way back somehow
My legs stopped moving despite my wishes, it felt like
Since to walk over one stripe of the crosswalk, it took me three steps
[Chorus]
Lately every day has been like this
I guеss this is where gum falls down to
Whethеr the sky is clear and sunny or full of clouds, I wouldn't know, but
Speaking of, now that I think of it, I noticed something yesterday
On the manhole cover were cherry blossoms
[Verse 2]
Hey, every now and then
I have days where I think that I want to do my best
But you know, it really is impossible, I ended up crying in the train
Tears dripping down my face as I wept
Since I can't let out any sound in a place like this
I tried my best to keep it in
From my nose came out a frazzled 'uu' sound
Even though that was just how things are, no one came to help me
It made me feel like only I was all alone
The train arrived at the station, and I forced myself to go out
But I couldn't move for a while after that
[Chorus]
I sat down in my chair at homeroom
And then some boys from high school came around
Talking about manga on the other side
I just listened in on their conversation
Even though I also liked reading the manga they talked about
It'll be turned into an anime soon
[Verse 3]
Hey, you know, no one ever said it to me
Even though no one ever told me
Somehow, it got through to me anyway
While I'm weighed down by these insignificant-seeming feelings
Everyone else is going through much worse
Like, if we just look at the world
There are people out there who don't even have
Something to eat, or a place to sleep in
Compared to those people, I'm so incredibly happy, right?
But, you know, that's not really how it is. Even though I don't really know why
For some reason, life is excruciating
Each coming day is hard to get through. Even getting up is a struggle
Yet when I sleep, I'm unable to rest
Just recently, without being able to help it
My heart just cracked and spilled open, and then the person next to me, the person who sat in the seat next to mine, you know
They said, 'What's wrong?' They said, 'I'll listen if you want to talk.'
[Chorus]
Normally, I wouldn't be able to talk that much, but somehow I just let out everything
I told them. Wailing out loud, I cried
And then, you know, that person
They said, 'I see, so that's what's going on.'
They rubbed my back to comfort me
And they said, 'You're amazing, you know. Just living is something to be admired for.'
