Composed by Kazuhiro Yamahara

KANJI
見栄はって　嘘で固めた愚かさは
ただ空しいだけだろう
さり気なく　生きてゆけるほど
器用じゃない
また今日も誰かを
傷つけるのは　たやすいけど
愛されるのは　もどかしすぎる

遠ざかる程に強く感じている
近すぎて気付けない大きな優しさ
裏切りも嘘も越えていく絆を
抱きしめて　眠れば
明日もまた　朝が来る

胸張って　誇れるものはいくつある?
まだ見つからないままに
振り返る　一人たたずんだ　街角で
また今日も何かを
忘れることは　たやすいけれど

誰かが残したぬくもりだけが
飛び立てる勇気を与えてくれた
つまずきそうになる夜があっても
疲れ果て　眠れば
明日もまた　朝が来る

時が流れても君に届けたい
言葉にできない不器用なこの想い
遠ざかる程に感じる絆を
抱きしめて　眠れば
明日もまた　朝が来る
疲れ果て　眠れば
こんな俺にも　朝が来る

ROMAJI
Mie hatte uso de katameta orokasa wa
Tada munashii dake darou
Sarigenaku ikiteyukeru hodo kiyou janai
Mata kyou mo dareka o
Kizutsukeru no wa tayasui kedo
Aisareru no wa modokashi sugiru

Touzakaru hodo ni tsuyoku kanjiteiru
Chikasugite kidzukenai ookina yasashisa
Uragiri mo uso mo koeteiku kizuna o
Dakishimete nemureba
Ashita mo mata asa ga kuru

Mune hatte hokoreru mono wa ikutsu aru?
Mada mitsukaranai mama ni
Furikaeru hitori tatazunda machikado de
Mata kyou mo nanika o
Wasureru koto wa tayasui keredo

Dareka ga nokoshita nukumori dake ga
Tobitateru yuuki o ataete kureta
Tsumazuki sou ni naru yoru ga atte mo
Tsukarehate nemureba
Ashita mo mata asa ga kuru

Toki ga nagarete mo kimi ni todoketai
Kotoba ni dekinai bukiyouna kono omoi
Touzakaru hodo ni kanjiru kizuna o
Dakishimete nemureba
Ashita mo mata asa ga kuru
Tsukarehate nemureba
Konna ore ni mo asa ga kuru

ENGLISH
Vanity is just a bunch of lies strengthened by stupidity
So it's all for nothing, you know
I've been living as simply as I can
There's nothing special I can do
But it seems like today, too
It was too easy to hurt someone again
And it was too much trouble to be loved

I think too much about going somewhere far away
Because I can't find any kindness anywhere close to me
All the betrayal and the lies, everything beyond the bonds I have
Even if I fall asleep holding all these close to me
Another morning's going to start tomorrow, anyway

Puffing up my chest, I wonder how many things I have to be proud of?
I haven't found any proof for anything just yet
Once more I'm standing alone in a corner of the street
It seems like today, too
It'll be too easy to forget things, but

Someone left me a little piece of warmth that day
And it gave me the courage to stand and fly
Of course there'll be nights where I'll find myself stumbling
But even if I fall asleep feeling exhausted
Another morning's going to start tomorrow, anyway

As time goes on, I hope this reaches you
These awkward feelings I can't put into words
This connection we have is moving further and further away
If I fall asleep holding it close to me
Another morning's going to start tomorrow, anyway
And even if I fall asleep feeling exhausted
Even for someone like me, another morning will come

Since Everlasting made me feel like shit, here's a happier song for my own sake that isn't Miraiha Sense because Miraiha Sense is actually incredibly hard to translate. But anyway composition-wise and in terms of Tomo's voice in it, I think this is one of the best songs TOKIO's released? I could listen to it on repeat forever and cry a little every time.

It's nice to see that when you're on the verge of giving up just that one little push into some place brighter can give you the drive to carry on. Or at least that's what I think. On a cheesy, unrelated note, it reminds me of what my girlfriend did for me a while back.
