Kanade

Lyrics & Composition, & Arrangement: Sukima Switch

Hand in hand in front of the ticket gate
there's the usual noise and a new wind
I was supposed to see you off cheerfully
but I couldn't smile well as I watched you

I pray that the season you grow up in
won't be filled with sad songs
Wanting to tell you something in the end
I searched for words to replace "goodbye"

I thought it was my duty
to lead you by the hand
But now I understand: The days we've spent together
will guide us now

As the time you grow up passes by
I too will change
If there's a song like this there for us
then we can always be connected, no matter what

Suddenly and unexpectedly, the sound of bells rings
I panic, our hands let go, and you move away from me
In a daze, I called for you to stop and embraced you
No matter where you go, I'll protect you with my voice

Since the day you appeared before me
everything has looked different
The morning, the light, tears, my singing voice
you've given them all a radiance
I'll put my uncontrollable feelings into this voice of mine
and send them to the far off town you live in
If it's a song like this
then we can connect, no matter where we are

* Kanade is a name

Sakushi, Sakkyoku, & Henkyoku: Sukima Switch

Kaisatsu no mae tsunagu te to te
Itsumo no zawameki, atarashii kaze
Akaruku miokuru hazu datta noni
Umaku waraezu ni kimi wo mite ita

Kimi ga otona ni natteku sono kisetsu ga
Kanashii uta de afurenai you ni
Saigo ni nanika kimi ni tsutaetakute
"Sayonara" ni kawaru kotoba wo boku wa sagashiteta

Kimi no te wo hiku sono yakume ga
Boku no shimei da nante sou omotteta
Dakedo ima wakatta'n da bokura nara mou
Kasaneta hibi ga hora michibiite kureru

Kimi ga otona ni natteku sono jikan ga
Furitsumoru ma ni boku mo kawatteku
Tatoeba soko ni konna uta ga areba
Futari wa itsumo donna toki mo tsunagatte ikeru

Totsuzen fui ni narihibiku beru no oto
Aseru boku tokeru te hanareteku kimi
Muchuu de yobitomete dakishimeta'n da
Kimi ga doko ni ittatte boku no koe de mamoru yo

Kimi ga boku no mae ni arewareta hibi kara
Nanimokamo ga chigaku mieta'n da
Asa mo hikari mo namida mo, utau koe mo
Kimi ga kagayaki wo kureta'n da
Osaekirenai omoi wo kono koe ni nosete
Tooku kimi no machi e todokeyou
Tatoeba sore ga konna uta dattara
Bokura wa doko ni ita to shitemo tsunagatte ikeru
