[Verse 1]
The people in my phone book started dying one by one.
My only favorite bar closed down and was replaced by a weird place.
The person I loved so much got married and had a child.
Then I became a single mother and finally heard from her after a long time.

[Verse 2]
The screenwriter I went to the ATM to lend him money is now a big hit,
but I still haven’t gotten my last 5,000 yen back.
A lot of things happen in life.
A lot of things happen in life. Of course.
That’s how it is.

[Verse 3]
My friend was diagnosed with stomach cancer, and I was kind of devastated.
I used to say I could die at any time, but now I’m going to get checked out.
My best friend’s bratty kid from third grade is now
in high school and stealing his parents’ money to buy condoms.

[Verse 4]
If time continues at this pace, the possibility of dying alone becomes a real possibility.
I’d hate to die alone, without anyone knowing, in the summer.
There’s a lot that happens in life, right?
There’s a lot that happens in life, right?
I’m sure there will be more to come than I could ever imagine.

[Chorus]
I already know there’s no such thing as “forever,” “absolutely,” or “forever.”
Please let me stay like this for just a little longer. Hey, let me stay like this.
I know I’m a failure who only realizes it after I’ve lost someone.
So how many more times do I have to lose myself before I realize it?
You’re gone, but you never seem to disappear. Hey, why is that? Oh.

[Verse 5]
Most of the friends I started a band with back then have quit.
Singing, dancing, and hip-hop are the latest trends.
More than half of my life is spent without “I’m home” or “Welcome home.”

I keep telling myself, “But there’s joy I gained in exchange.”

[Verse 6]
“There was once a time when music was created by human hands.”
And yet, before that time comes, I’m still babbling about wanting to create some incredible music I’ve never seen before.
That’s what life is like.
That’s what life is like.
I’m sure I’ll continue to want it to be like that.

[Chorus]
I’ve already realized there’s no such thing as “forever,” “absolutely,” or “forever.”
Let me stay like this for just a little longer. Hey, let me stay like this.
Even if “goodbye” comes, the joy of having met you will drive me crazy.
I’ll keep holding you close, over and over again.
You’re gone, but why am I still here, forever?

[Outro]
The manager of my favorite bar committed suicide.
I got a call three days before he died, but I couldn’t answer.
A lot happens in life.
A lot happens in life.
A lot happens in life.
A lot happens in life.
