Lyrics

The moon that floated in the night like a jellyfish
Has split open
When I glance at someone’s back at the bus stop
You, as you were that summer, are in my head

Only

Torii gates, dried-out clouds; the scent of summer strokes my cheek
Until I become an adult, look, I’ll keep standing on tiptoe to make myself taller

Tired out from playing, behind the bus stop I could even see the sky
Even if the summer comes to an end soon
I’ll definitely, definitely remember

Becoming an adult without being able to catch up
Night blooms in your pocket
If I can’t put it into words I’ll be alone
But that’s all right, I’ve already resigned myself to it

Only

A summer day, dried-out clouds, Nanking cherry trees, a rusted stoplight
In my memories, it always smells like summer

Photographs are just scraps of paper
And memories are nothing but garbage
Because I didn’t understand that, I kept my mouth shut

In my memory, you rest forever on the single stone in a summer field*

Becoming an adult while looking down
I can’t catch up, it’s just a sunny day for you
Unable to put things into words, we climbed the hill
In our shadows, night is blooming

We’ve become adults while looking down
Clap your hands how you like
Climbing the road up the hill at sunset
Our shadows…

Becoming an adult without being able to catch up
Night blooms in your pocket
Even if we can’t put it into words, we are one
That’s enough, I think

I’m only chewing over memories of you

Notes:

The video includes a shot of some text that is not part of the song’s lyrics. It reads as follows:

The faint clouds drifting in the sky.
Nanking cherry trees. The smell of hot asphalt.
Poolside. The cicadas singing. Torii gates. Summer shadows.
Blue skies.
Throwing yourself down into the summer grass.
In my memory, the sky of Tokyo is an almost unchanging blue,
And I can even touch it with my fingertips.
Mirages. Behind the bus stop.
Wooden signs. Myrtle. Deja vu.
Weather vanes.
Memories so faint that I can’t think of them as mine.
The outline of the ghost I saw as a child.
The night sky. The end of summer. Jellyfish.
Fireflies. Silhouettes.
Diverging paths. A rusted iron bar. The setting sun.
The warm breeze that strokes my cheek.
How high the clouds are. Eyes.
Ultramarine.
Water at night. Shoes. Fireworks.
A light trap that looks like the light filtering through the trees.
Memories. Late summer. We only sleep at night.
In my life from now on, stumbling will be commonplace.
Nevertheless, for you, there are no skies that aren’t sunny.


[*] This line references a haiku by Masaoka Shiki, “絶えず人 いこふ夏野の 石一つ,” which roughly translates to “people are always resting on the single stone in the summer field.” (That’s the whole haiku; they’re short.)
