KANJI
桜の下しゃがんで　並べた言葉達が
まだ少し冷たい風の中で
春を待たず旅立つ　その背中押すように
柔らかな日射しに溶けた

思い出はいつもどこか　照れくさいキョリで
俺たちの帰りを待っている

忘れてしまうには　大き過ぎたんだ
あれがあるかないかで　この景色が決まる
あの時過ごした　短い冬に探してた
夏への入り口

多分あのままだって　それなりの毎日を
俺らしく泳いでいられたけど
夢に手を伸ばすように　泳ぎたいと思った
おまえと最高のリレー

水を掻き　切り拓いて　進むその先で
俺たちは　いつでも自由なんだ

変わったつもりで　何も変わらない
ムキになるのもミョウに　張り合いがあったり
あの時出会って　俺たちだからできたこと
きっと忘れない

忘れてしまうには　大き過ぎたんだ
あれがあるかないかで　この景色が決まる
あの時過ごした　短い冬に探してた
夏への入り口

変わったつもりで　何も変わらない
ムキになるのもミョウに　張り合いがあったり
あの時出会って　俺たちだからできたこと
きっと忘れない

TRANSLATION
Squatting beneath the cherry blossoms next to the words lined up
Within a breeze that still had just a tinge of cold
You took off without waiting for spring to come, and as if it were pushing you from behind
The cold melted into a gentle warm sunlight

The memories always kept back somewhere at an awkward distance
Waiting for our return

It was too great to be forgotten
This sight will decide whether it is there or not
In that brief winter that we’d spent together, when we had searched for
The entrance to summer

I probably could have gone on swimming every day in my own way
Ever since that day, if nothing had changed, but
Like reaching out a hand towards a dream, I yearned to swim with you
In the best relay ever

Towards wherever we go as we paddle through the water and cut a path ahead
We are always free

I thought that things were different now, but nothing had changed at all
Even getting worked up over something strangely has a sense of worth to it
By meeting each other back then, it’s something that could have only been done because it’s us
I will not forget it

It was too great to be forgotten
This sight will decide whether it is there or not
In that brief winter that we’d spent together, when we had searched for
The entrance to summer

I thought that things were different now, but nothing had changed at all
Even getting worked up over something strangely has a sense of worth to it
By meeting each other back then, it’s something that could have only been done because it’s us
I will not forget it
