卒業
OTOHA Lyrics

制服の胸のボタンを
Junior students begging you to undo your uniform's buttons

下級生たちにねだられ

頭をかきながら逃げるのね
You scratch your head and run away from them

ほんとは嬉しいくせして
Despite being happy about it deep down

人気ない午後の教室で
In an unpopular classroom on a lazy afternoon

机にイニシャル彫るあなた
You carve your initials on a desk

やめて想い出を刻むのは
Stopping carving to just let the memories linger in your heart

心だけにしてとつぶやいた

離れても電話するよと
You promise to call even when you're apart

小指差し出して言うけど

守れそうにない約束は
Apologizing for making a promise that may be hard to keep

しない方がいい ごめんね

セーラーの薄いスカーフで
You want to tie down the frozen time with a thin sailor's scarf

止まった時間を結びたい

だけど東京で変わってく
But as Tokyo changes

あなたの未来は縛れない
You can't tie down your future

ああ 卒業式で泣かないと
You feel you must cry at the graduation ceremony

冷たい人と言われそう
Or else people will think you're cold

でも もっと哀しい瞬間に
But you want to save your tears for even sadder moments

涙はとっておきたいの
When it's really hard to bear

席順が変わり あなたの
The seating plan changes and you become jealous of

隣の娘にさえ妬いたわ
The girl sitting next to you

いたずらに髪をひっぱられ
She playfully pulls your hair and you get angry, but inside you're happy

怒ってる裏ではしゃいだ

駅までの遠い道のりを
The long walk to the station

はじめて黙って歩いたね
You walked silently for the first time

反対のホームに 立つ二人
Standing on opposite platforms

時の電車がいま引き裂いた
Now the train of time tears you apart

ああ 卒業しても友だちね
Even after graduation, you'll still be friends

それは嘘では無いけれど

でも 過ぎる季節に流されて
But seasons pass and time takes you away

逢えないことも知っている
You know you won't be able to meet again

ああ 卒業式で泣かないと
You feel you must cry at the graduation ceremony

冷たい人と言われそう
Or else people will think you're cold

でも もっと哀しい瞬間に
But you want to save your tears for even sadder moments

涙はとっておきたいの
When it's really hard to bear
