Hidamari (Sunny Place)

Kimi ga kureta kotobatachi wa
Suteki da kedo nazo mo ooi kara
Itsumo hitorikiri no toki
Sono imi ni kizuku

Ato ni natte yasashisa o shiru
Arigatou o ii ni oikakeru
Nanoni kimi wa sono saki o susundeite
Oitsukenai mama de

Hikari ga sasu akarui hi no hou e hashirou
Kitto soko de kimi ga mieru ne
Yami no naka o susumu hazu ga nai

Taiyou no kakudo de kage ni naru yokogao o
Mamorinukeru kurai takaku tsuyoku terashitai yo
Shinayaka na hidamari no you ni

Kimi ga warai furimuita toki
Kuraku natta soba no hoo ni wa
Umaku keshita tsumori demo
Namida no sen oritatamareteita

Damatta mama mune no hako no naka ni shimaou
Sotto shiteteagetai koto nara
Tatta hitotsu dekiru sakimawari

Hikari to kagetachi ga chirachira suru komorebi
Tsutsundeshimaitai tanoshii kanashii dono omoi mo
Atataka na hidamari no you ni

Egao no o o hiite kimi wa mata sono saki e
Tsutsundeshimaitai ureshii kuyashii kono omoi mo

Taiyou no kakudo de kage ni naru yokogao o
Mamorinukeru kurai takaku tsuyoku terashitai yo
Shinayaka na hidamari no you ni

Hanarete mo yorisoeru kokoro

The words you gave me
They were wonderful, but cryptic all the same
It’s always when I’m all alone
That the meaning sinks in

Only later on do I realize your kindness
I run after you to say thank you
But you've already proceeded ahead
Before I could catch up with you

I’ll run to a bright and shining day
I know I’ll see you there
You couldn't possibly tread into the darkness

The angle of the sun causes shadows to cast upon your profile
I want to shine high and bright, just enough to protect it
Like a nice and sunny place

When you smiled and turned your face away
Despite your best efforts to hold they back
Tears trickled down
The darkened side of your cheek

I’ll silently tuck it away into a box in my heart
If I wish to leave you be
Then all that can be done is to beat you to it

Shadows and light flicker under the eaves of the trees
I want to embrace all the running emotions, the joy and the sorrow
Like a warm and sunny place

Leaving a trail of smiles behind you, you continue onwards
I want to embrace this feeling of being torn between happiness and regret

The angle of the sun causes shadows to cast upon your profile
I want to shine high and bright, just enough to protect it
Like a nice and sunny place

Though separated, my heart lies close to yours
