Lyrics

Producer: KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO
One morning I woke up and I had become an adult
Voice hoarse, wrinkles multiplied
Dark circles under my eyes
A little muscle, a little broader shoulders, it seems
Socks rolling in the corner of the room
Next to them, a garbage bag reeking
"I'm so sorry about back then"
That's what the old crew said to me
Back then, the one who betrayed wasn't him—it was me, wasn't it?
Yet they pretend it never happened—"Hey, you okay?" What are you saying?
I'm not adult enough to cap wounds that haven't healed
I'm a crotchety person
Yet my boss always treated me to meals
My boss always doted on me as I ate with relish
I want to repay the kindness
But it's always too late the moment I think so
Having only sold favors—how on earth do I convey love?
I can't forgive everything that's passed
Dream, wake up soon
What I learned as an adult is simple
Summer is hot, winter is cold
That all these feelings I thought were delusions
Have names
More than dying or living—what about tomorrow's meal?
Casting off sensitivity, desperate just to get through now
Days off, alone at a soapland, drinking till I puke at a cheap izakaya
A week of dirty jokes with work buddies
Then one day tears suddenly came and I couldn't take a step
Everyone worried and comforted me—what a lucky man I am
A lucky man—so wake from the dream, quick
I won't acknowledge the courage to stop
I loathe myself to the core
What I learned as an adult is simple
Dreams come true, effort is rewarded
Being alone is lonely, being two is awkward
Being human is hard
Yeah, it's just as I thought
I can never be a child again
Now I finally get why adults commit crimes
Everyone has painful, lonely nights
"I'm so sorry about back then"
That's what the old crew said to me
Back then, the one who betrayed wasn't him—it was me, wasn't it?
But I'm glad
Because I've always thought of him
Until I grew up, always
Always, still a child
Until wrinkles came, always—until my hair frayed, always
Until my skin roughened, always—until I ran out of breath, always
"Time heals everything"—it really happens, huh
I'm an adult now, so I'll say it
I'm sorry
I wanted to see you
What I learned as an adult is simple
People are ugly, and people are kind
Even if the hatred sleeping in my heart peels away
Nothing changes
Growing up, I understood
I can never go back
