mimosa

Lyrics: ayumi hamasaki
Composition: Kunio Tago

"If you could say just one thing to your past self
what words would you put it in?"
That's a common question, isn't it?

It may sound like a cliché line, but
"Your efforts will be rewarded, so it'll be okay"
I'm sure I won't forget the bitterness of those tears

I'm probably walking because I've learnt
that just because I've grown up doesn't mean everything will go well
It's not that wounds heal with time
but perhaps it's how many smiles you can use to replace them with
Maybe that's why I'm alive today without giving up

"Counting from the end is way too overblown"
"It doesn't feel real, either" - the days when I said that
so indifferently have grown far away, and the surrealism
tightens my heart

I know that believing in someone with all your heart
or betting your life seriously on something
don't suit the modern age at all
but, you know?
I'll keep doing them
Because this is the world you live in

The less people know, the more they say things like
"That must be difficult" or "I understand"
And those words formed an empty ring and shattered

I'm probably walking because I've learnt
that just because I've grown up doesn't mean everything will go well
It's not that wounds heal with time
but perhaps it's how many smiles you can use to replace them with
Maybe that's why I'm alive today without giving up

I know that believing in someone with all your heart
or betting your life seriously on something
don't suit the modern age at all
but, you know?
I'll keep doing them
Because this is the world you live in

"Hitotsu dake mukashi no jibun ni kakete agerareru
To shita nara donna kotoba ni shimasu ka?"
Sonna shitsumon yoku aru yo ne

Okimari no serifu ni kikoeru kamoshirenai kedo
"Doryoku wa mukuwareru kara daijoubu da yo" tte
Kitto ano namida no nigasa wo wasurezu ni iru kara

Otona ni natta kara tte subete ga umaku
Iku wake ja nai to shireta kara aruiteru'n darou
Kizu wa jikan to tomo ni ieru'n ja nakute
Egao wo doredake uwagaki dekiru ka ja nai kana
Sono tame ni kyou mo akiramezu ni ikite'n ja nai kana

Saigo kara kazoeru koto nante oogesa sugiru shi
Jikkan ga wakanai shi tte akkerakan to
Itte ita hibi wa tooku natte shuurusa ni
Gyutto naru

Hito wo kokoro no soko kara shinjiru da nante
Nanika ni honki de jinsei kakeru da nante
Ima no jidai ni marude atte nai koto wa saa
Wakatte'n dakedo soredemo nee
Yatte iku'n da yo
Datte koko ga kimi no iru sekai nanda kara

Shiranai hito hodo iu
"Taihen desu ne" tte "Wakarimasu yo" tte
Kotoba ga kyomukan no wa ni natte wareta

Otona ni natta kara tte subete ga umaku
Iku wake ja nai to shireta kara aruiteru'n darou
Kizu wa jikan to tomo ni ieru'n ja nakute
Egao wo doredake uwagaki dekiru ka ja nai kana
Sono tame ni kyou mo akiramezu ni ikite'n ja nai kana

Hito wo kokoro no soko kara shinjiru da nante
Nanika ni honki de jinsei kakeru da nante
Ima no jidai ni marude atte nai koto wa saa
Wakatte'n dakedo soredemo nee
Yatte iku'n da yo
Datte koko ga kimi no iru sekai nanda kara
