I wonder if it’s because I was born in the spring When seeds appear to be flying, soon I’ll want to go far away To a place I haven’t seen yet A weathervane left up to fate by the wind A compass that keeps pointing out a destination I can take whatever I want, I can leave whatever I want The morning of a new journey While I’m afraid of change, I also don’t want to stay here A quiet awakening that looks the same as always You who said goodbye and I squeezed your back I who couldn’t say we’d see each other again Overlapping roads will again be split into two The morning of a beginning Though I don’t want to be all alone, that doesn’t mean I must go alone Even with loneliness stopping my feet, I can’t go home yet Crossing the ocean together with the wind, I’ll walk on guided by the sunrise Because what’s waiting for me is definitely there, after so many meetings and partings, I have to go keep the promise I made myself when I was born Until I can touch with these hands, with these eyes that don’t understand even if I listen to someone, the treasures encased throughout the world, taking a breath as deep as a forest, I’ll go to sleep listening to the sounds of the stars To someday set down roots that alight upon the ground That is the place I’m going home to |
Maaya's liner notes: At the moment when I first heard Haruna Yokota-san’s melody, I was able to get the song lyrics done too. This is one song about an electrifying encounter. Watanabe-san’s arrangement again overflows with a male presence, it’s amazingly cool. I seriously think that I was born to sing this song.
