Nandemo Nai ya (It's Nothing)

Text

The wind that below through between us brought with it loneliness from somewhere
After we had finished crying, the sky had become frighteningly transparent

Today the words from my father that had always been so sharp felt gentler
Your kindness, smile, and way of talking of your dreams, I unknowingly mimicked it all

Just a little longer, just a bit more, just a little bit longer
Just a little longer, just a bit more, I wonder if I should keep close a little bit longer

We’re all flying through time, climbers running up time
Playing hide and seek with time, I’m fed up with straying from those around me

Crying of happiness and laughing of sadness
Your heart has outpaced you

Those toys that I wished upon the stars to get now just tumble in the corner of my room
Today I got one hundred of my dreams, someday I’ll exchange them all for just one thing

Today after school I said “See you tomorrow” to that kid that never speaks
It’s good to sometimes have things you can’t get used to, especially if you’re next to me

Just a little longer, just a bit more, just a little bit longer
Just a little longer, just a bit more, Just keep close a little bit longer

We’re all flying through time, I knew you
a long time before remembering my name

Even in a world without you there’s surely some kind of meaning
but a world with you is like an August without a summer vacation
a world without you is like a Santa that doesn’t smile
a world without you

We’re all flying through time, climbers running up time
Playing hide and seek with time, I’m fed up with straying from those around me

It’s nothing, never mind, it’s nothing
I’m going now

We’re all flying through time, climbers running up time
Playing hide and seek with time, I’ve had enough of straying from those around me

You’re a gaudy crier, I want to try to end your tears
but you rejected me, I understood that after seeing your tears overflowing

Crying of happiness and laughing of sadness
My heart has outpaced me
