ケアレス [Kearesu] [English translation]

I'm not a grown-up. I'm carrying nothing but my excuses on my back,

And covering up my impatience is giving me wrinkles.

I'm not a grown-up. Any way of figuring out the way I'm feeling

Is forgotten, tucked away in the corner of this narrow room.

With everything unscripted this way, I’m just stumbling.

Suddenly, right in front of my eyes, everything was being brought to an end.

It wasn't a daydream, I didn't mistake what you said, but now

The wounds are secretly healing.

Even if you laugh and say "We both made the same mistakes, didn't we?", it's okay.

Tallying up all our wishes might be awkward, but if we believe in them, it's okay

I wanted to just keep going straight on, I decided that,

To a place I didn't know, even though I'm a coward sometimes.

I'm not a child. It's not for nothing that I've decided to slip away from this world,

I'll become the kind of person you'll envy in the future.

I'm not a child. I want to see what's coming next; the present bothers me.

Every time I start running, the things I want keep getting farther away.

They don't even have a shadow; they disappear suddenly,

And my expectant heart is secretly starting to make its decisions.

What I held in my hands was false;

But because it wasn't something that would definitely disappear,

The dreams I was full of, like dreams do, wouldn't die.

I just want to keep moving toward the faint ending I see in my mind.

Having you there seemed special, but now it feels normal, more than anything.

Given time, it just happened. I don't need a different person.

I hesitated, yes, and I cried a little for no reason.

But so you won't notice, I'll wipe my eyes with my sleeves and fly to you.

Even if you laugh and say "We both made the same mistakes, didn't we?", it's okay.

Tallying up all our wishes is awkward, but if you believe in them, it's okay

I wanted to just keep going straight on, I decided that,

To a place I didn't know. So that I have something to guide me as I go,

I'll take your heart, just as it is, even though it's full of things I don't understand.

Even if the world is full of things I don't understand,

A light like your heart will definitely... definitely...
