[Verse 1] It’s been almost a year now, I guess (たぶん、もうすぐ1年になる) Since I met you, since I found this sound (君に出逢って、この音を見つけてから) A sound I once gave up on (一度は諦めたはずの音) At first, I played it just for myself (最初は、自分のために鳴らしてただけ) Just happy that the noise was alive (ただ、そのノイズが生きてる) That was more than enough (それだけで十分だった) [Verse 2] Song after song, I started to wish (曲を重ねるうちに) Someone out there might hear (誰かに届いてほしくなった) I knew it was reckless (無謀だって分かってた) I knew it was foolish (愚かだとも思ってた) Still I dropped my sound into the world (それでも世界に 俺の音を落とした) Even knowing it might be ignored (無視されるかもしれないと分かりながら) [Pre-Chorus] I watched them start to shine (夜を埋める星みたいに) Like stars filling up the night (輝いていく人たちを見てた) I knew from the beginning (最初から分かってた) I was never meant to shine (俺は 輝ける存在ではないって) [Chorus] I’m just a fool (俺はただの愚か者) I knew I’d never be a star (星になれないって分かってた) Still I keep playing (それでも鳴らし続ける) This outdated sound of mine (この 廃れた音 を) I’m just a fool (俺はただの愚か者) Chasing something out of time (時代遅れの何かを追いかけてる) Even so (それでも) I keep making this sound (この音を鳴らし続けてる) [Verse 3] I tried to quit so many times (何度もやめようとした) Tried to walk away, let it fade (逃げ出そうとしたこともある) Even if no one ever picks it up (誰にも拾われなくても) I keep thinking every time (「次はこうしてみよう」って) “What if I try it this way next?” (考えてる自分がいて) And somehow, that still felt fun (それが、まだ楽しかった) [Verse 4] Once called a great power (かつて、大国と言われた) This sound still feels like home to me (この音は、今も俺の居場所だ) I don’t know how long this will last (いつまで続くかは分からない) But I’m still here (それでも俺はここにいる) Writing songs on my own (一人で曲を書き続けてる) [Pre-Chorus 2] They say this sound is already gone (この音はもう終わったって) That I’m too late to the fight (そう言われるかもしれない) Maybe I really am (俺は遅すぎたのかもしれない) Still I believe (それでも信じてる) It will shine again someday (いつか、また輝くって) [Final Chorus] I’m just a fool (俺はただの愚か者) I know I won’t shine that bright (眩しく輝けないことは分かってる) Still I keep dropping (それでも夜に向かって) This outdated sound into the night (この 廃れた音 を落とし続ける) I’m just a fool (俺はただの愚か者) Hoping time will turn around (時が巡ることを願いながら) Someday this sound (いつかこの音が) Will glow again somehow (もう一度、光ることを) [Outro] I don’t know where this road will lead (この道の先は分からない) But I’ll walk it as long as I can (それでも、歩けるところまで歩く) If this sound shines again (この音が もし もう一度輝くなら) It doesn’t have to be me (それが俺じゃなくてもいい)
