I tried turning off the path I take every day
A little earlier than usual
The scenery is different from usual
But it’s not unfamiliar, either

What’s this sense of discomfort?
I thought it felt comfortable for a bit
Will even the great uncertainties
Become memories in the future?

Someday, I’ll probably grow up, fall in love, and sing
I’ll probably be sad, and be so happy I cry
All these unknowns, a path that’s mine alone
Let’s take a small detour today

Someday, I’ll remember the day I wrote this song
It presses on our backs as we take a step out
God’s tree of fate branches out
Until it bears fruit, here’s an ordinary goodbye

The shoes I was wearing up till last year
Looked so terribly childish
Simply because I’d grown a little taller
Enough to hit the reddening trees, right?

My eyes meet with the people coming and going
By the time I noticed, I was just like them
I was just passing through
Without even enough time for my heart to catch up

Someday, you’ll probably grow up, learn of love, and your dreams will come true
The day will probably come too, where you hold your ground even in sadness
All these difficulties, a song that’s yours alone
Let’s take a small detour today

Someday, we’ll look back and remember the day we walked this road
A firm step on your shadow connects us together
Roots grow wide. All sorts of colours.
Until it bears fruit, here’s an ordinary goodbye

Looking at our return road in reverse bears no meaning
Let’s clean up those worn and battered flags
The houses we see pass by are illuminated with lights
But the wind that blows through is just a little cold

Petrified in the face of the wide, wide world
My point of view has gotten a little taller now
From here, congratulated by the small flower petals
I’ll go anywhere

Someday, I’ll probably grow up, fall in love, and sing
I’ll probably be sad, and be so happy I cry
All these unknowns, a path that’s mine alone
Let’s take a small detour today

Someday, I’ll look back and remember, the day I wrote this song
It presses on our backs as we take a step out
God’s tree of fate branches out
Until it bears fruit, here’s an ordinary goodbye

Kanji
毎日通る道を
ひとつ早く逸れてみよう
いつもと違う景色
別に見慣れていない訳じゃない

小さな違和感はなんだろう
少し心地良く思えてた
大きな不安も
この先で思い出になるのかな

いつか大人になる　恋をする　歌をうたうかも
落ち込んだり　嬉しくて泣いちゃうかも
いくつもの未知　僕だけの道
今日は少し遠回りしていこう

いつか思い出す　この歌を書いた日のこと
一歩踏み出す僕らの背を押すよ
枝分かれした　神様のクジ
実をつけるまで　ありきたりなさよなら

去年まで履いてた靴
ひどく幼く見えたのは
色づく並木に当てられ
ちょっと背伸びしてみただけだろう

行き交う人々と目線がぶつかる
気が付けば同じにいる
心が追いつく時間さえ無いまま
通り過ぎる

いつか大人になる　愛を知る　夢が叶うかも
悲しくても立ち向かう日が来るかも
いくつもの苦難　君だけの歌
今日は少し遠回りしていこう

いつか思い出す　この道を歩いた日々を
ぎゅっと影踏み　僕らは繋がってる
広く根付いた　とりどりの色
実をつけるまで　ありきたりなさよなら

逆さまに見た帰り道に意味なんか無くて
くたびれた標識たちも襟を正すよう
見送った家々に明かりがともる
吹き抜ける風はちょっぴり冷たいけど

大きな世界に立ちすくむ
少し背が伸びた視界から
小さな花びらに祝われ
どこまでも歩いていく

いつか大人になる　恋をする　歌をうたうかも
落ち込んだり　嬉しくて泣いちゃうかも
いくつもの未知　僕だけの道
今日は少し遠回りしていこう

いつか思い出す　この歌を書いた日のこと
一歩踏み出す僕らの背を押すよ
枝分かれした　神様のクジ
実をつけるまで　ありきたりなさよなら
