I can't go back there now
No matter how wonderful the memories
They are ones that I should put away in my heart
I remember them even now, and that's good enough
I'm not worried, I can still sing
I'll go back there one day, to my home

Sudden showers
Getting increasingly irritated, my heart in a garbage dump
How many seasons have passed since then?
But I could still hear the voice of my hometown
I rushed out of it, playing it cool
It resulted in me betraying the people who I parted so reluctantly from
There was nothing I could do about these crumbling dreams, all by myself
The people that I met at times like that
Surely people aren't that strong, so that's why
It seems like they get swallowed up by jealousy and ego
But I held that version of myself gently, and cried sadly
I understood my own weakness at that time
But my dreams came true, and I grew to like it a bit

And so I made a home
I clearly saw a big support
Just like my home, and the world changed
It got easier to breathe
Everyone grows, second by second
That's why I'm glad that we met, I'm glad things were this way
So I've said just about everything that I can say
A place where your heart can be at ease, everyone should have one
The friends that I lived out those same days with
The lover that was by my side
I've lost them all, but there's a dream that I'd like to fulfill
I've lost that too, but I've been made to remember once again
My new home is right here, but I still remember

I can't go back there now
No matter how wonderful the memories
They are ones that I should put away in my heart
I remember them even now, and that's good enough
I'm not worried, I can still sing
I'll go back there one day, to my home

Not able to sleep well
I'm having the same dream over and over again
The place that took me in back then, that was the beginning of everything
Not caring about the size of the reparations to be paid
I want to be more sensitive to love
Because I don't want to be made to think that it hurts
Because I don't want to be forced to retire

So I've found a means to live by doing that
Prejudice smeared common sense crumbling
When put in front of us, it was fragile that it seems about to break
But somehow our smiles never went away
It certainly was just as it seemed
It was the first time, but miserable yet beautiful
The empty sky sparkled, twinkled
At that moment, we cried again

I can't go back there now
No matter how wonderful the memories
They are ones that I should put away in my heart
I remember them even now, and that's good enough
I'm not worried, I can still sing
I'll go back there one day, to my home

When I look back on everything up until now
Smiles and tears come to mind
They're reflected to the point that I'm shaking this much
That's me; When connected to my future
I believe in it, I believe in my home

I can't go back there now
No matter how wonderful the memories
They are ones that I should put away in my heart
I remember them even now, and that's good enough
I'm not worried, I can still sing
I'll go back there one day, to my home

I can't go back there now
No matter how wonderful the memories
They are ones that I should put away in my heart
I remember them even now, and that's good enough
I'm not worried, I can still sing
I'll go back there one day, to my home
