[Lyrics] Departure/Tabidachi

Artist: Kudou Haruka
Album: Shooting Star Train/Ryuusei Ressha
Released: March 30, 2022

The time has come
I look back on that empty starting station
I whispered, “I’m off”
Bringing along only a song

I’ve missed so many shooting stars by blinking
And my impossible wishes multiplied
I grasped my ticket, a blank paper, and searched for a place to fit in

If I trace my unfading scars, I’m sure they’ll lead to my heart
Its pulse can’t color over the world I see out the window

That star is a signpost to my dreams
The moon shines down on my unvarnished eyes
The rain hugs me gently, tells me “it’s okay to cry”
This wind is a voice that calls my name
But I can’t go back to that place anymore
Close your eyes, you can be weak
The tracks will go on

Clickety-clack
Passing only through time, I become an adult
I part with my memories, rewrite them, resign myself
Perhaps my lost heart lies at one of the stations I couldn’t get off at
I draw one line “I love you” on the fogged-up glass, and I wipe it away

I wonder if someday, I’ll be able to say it to myself…

That flower ties me to a promise
The night sky overflows with transient constellations
The clouds embrace all with a smile, tell me “morning is here”
This dream is full of a nostalgic fragrance
But I can’t go back to that place anymore
Point the way, cry your tears
The tracks will go on

The doors open up
Alone, I step onto this terminal station
I whispered, looking up at the sky
“You’re the only one I love”

Hundreds of millions of words travel through one single melody
I try them all, but there’s still no answer
I’ll be born anew again, I’ll be born anew again, over and over again
Bringing along only this song
