CUSTOM

[Verse 1] 幼い頃に見上げた (When I was young, I looked up at you) 大きな肩の向こう (Beyond your broad shoulders) 何も知らない僕には (To me, knowing nothing about the world) それだけで世界だった (That alone was my whole world) 玄関に響く足音 (The sound of your footsteps echoing through the entrance) 帰りを待った夕暮れ (At dusk, I waited for you to come home) 交わす言葉は少なくても (Even though we exchanged few words) なぜか安心していた (Somehow, I always felt safe) [Pre-Chorus] あの頃は気づかなかった (I didn't realize it back then) 黙って背負っていたもの (What you carried silently) 年月を重ねた今だから (Now that the years have passed) 少しだけ分かる気がする (I feel like I understand a little) [Chorus] Father あなたが選んだ生き方を (The way you chose to live) 僕はずっと遠くから見ていた (I have watched you from afar all this time) 同じ人にはなれないとしても (Even if I can never become the same person you are) 胸に残ったものは消えない (What remains in my heart will never disappear) [Verse 2] 古い写真をめくるたび (Every time I turn through old photographs) 知らなかった表情がある (I find expressions on your face I never knew) 僕の記憶にない時間まで (Even the moments that are not in my memory) そこには刻まれていた (Were captured there) 叱られた日の悔しさも (The frustration I felt on the days you scolded me) 褒められた日の照れくささも (The embarrassment I felt on the days you praised me) 今ではどちらも大切な (Now both of them have become precious) ひとつの記憶になった (And have become a single cherished memory) [Pre-Chorus 2] いつしか僕も (Before I knew it) 自分で決めることが増えた (I began making more decisions for myself) 正しさを尋ねる相手は (The person I asked about what was right) 少しずつ変わっていった (Gradually changed) [Chorus 2] Father あの日の僕には見えなかった (There were things I could not see back then) 言葉の奥にあったもの (What was behind your words) 今、あなたに聞いてみたい (Now, I want to ask you) あの日の続きを (What came after that day) [Bridge] 僕には見せなかった時間も (There were times you never showed me) きっとたくさんあるけれど (There must have been many) 振り返ればいつも (Whenever I look back) あの場所につながっている (They always lead back to that place) 言葉にしなかった想いほど (The feelings that were never put into words) 長く残るものなのかもしれない (May be the ones that remain the longest) 今の僕がここにいること (That I am here now) それだけを伝えたい (That is all I want to tell you) [Spoken Word][LOW VOICE] やっと、ここまで来たよ (I've finally made it this far) [Final Chorus] Father もう振り返らずに行けるよ (I can move forward without looking back) あなたの大きな肩より先へ (Beyond your broad shoulders) あの日追いかけたその場所から (From the place I once chased after you) 僕は僕の人生を選んでゆく (I will choose my own life) [Outro] Father... それが僕らの旅立ち (That is our departure)
