Tag (鬼ごっこ)

(Verse 1)

The school bell rings, the sun dips low

君はもういない where the shadows grow.

The same old playground, dust on the ground

But the laughter I recall makes no sound.

I remember counting, one to ten, so fast

あの頃の僕らの時間, meant to last.

(Chorus)

Was it just a game, a simple chase?

Or a 儚い瞬間, time can't erase?

"You're it," you'd shout, a joyful plea

Now the only one tagged is me.

Running through memories, endlessly

もう届かない, you're just a ghost to me.

夕焼け空が茜色に染まり

遠い記憶がそっと蘇る

君の小さな手、追いかけた影

今はただ、寂しさだけが残る

あの日の笑顔、まだ胸にあるのに

なぜか触れられない、まるで夢のよう

(Chorus)

ただの遊びだったの？単純な追いかけっこ？

それとも、時間が消せない儚い瞬間？

「今度は鬼！」と、あなたは楽しげに叫んだ

今、鬼にされたのは私だけ。

記憶の中を、 endlessly 走り続けてる

もう届かない、あなたは私にとってただの幻。

(Bridge)

景色は変わらないのに, everything's changed

Our innocent world, somehow rearranged.

The rules of the game, まだ覚えてる

But who's left to play, standing tall?

もしまた会えるなら, just for a day

We'd play that game, and never stray.

(Chorus)

Was it just a game, a simple chase?

Or a 儚い瞬間, time can't erase?

「今度は鬼！」と、あなたは楽しげに叫んだ

今、鬼にされたのは私だけ。

Running through memories, endlessly

もう届かない, you're just a ghost to me.

(Outro)

The game is over, the daylight fades

一人きりの黄昏 in these twilight shades.

Still waiting, still running, deep inside

For a love that どこにも隠せない.
