Tsuyogari
Mr. Children
words and music by Sakurai Kazutoshi

I can see the old wounds in your rigid posture
even your hands that carry this heavy baggage, I know your fronts.

Even if you try laughing I know that
you're erecting invisible walls around your heart

i tried to call your name with a helpless tiny voice
getting through the lonely nights, hurry up, face me head on and hold me.

I want to be with you, even if our love can never be said to be close
I'd always be happy to get a call from you.

my circle of friends I can talk to has also narrowed of its own accord.
Walking with that tiny wish in my pocket.

overestimating the "oh you're so nice", I seemed angry but its different.
get through the sadness, face me and strongly hold me other head on.

playing my six string I change my love spontaneously to song
clumsy fingers slipping shaking

sometimes brimming with confidence I try and scream your name
take it easy just come to me one step at a time.
and then one day when you're ready, hurry up and face me head on, and hold me strongly
just like that, forget your fronting.

Romaji to come soon
