Long Hope Philia

Arukuhodo ni kutsuzoko ga yogoreteku sonna fuu ni
Bokura no tamashii mo surihereba kagette shimau yo
Sonna toki ni omoidashite kimi ga akiramerarenai riyuu wo
Sukutta hazu ga sukuwaretakke
Nigitta tsumori ga nigirareta te

Amaneku tabiji ni hikari are
Tsuyosa ya yowasa de wa katarenai ze
Tachimukau sono ippo zutsu ga kimi no yuukansa no shouri datta
Sakebu tame ni iki wo suu you ni takaku tobu tame ni josou ga atte
Warau tame ni bokura wa naita sore wo haiboku to wa iwanai
Ronguhoopu firia

The more we walk, the dirtier the soles of our shoes get
In the same way, our souls develop shadows as they're worn down
In times like that, remember why you can't give up
I thought I saved you, but think I was saved instead
I thought I grabbed your hand, but you actually grabbed mine

Let there be light on all of our journeys
I can't speak of strength or weakness
Each step you took forward was a victory for your bravery
Like inhaling in order to shout, an approach is needed to jump high
In order to laugh, we cried, and that's not called defeat
Longhope Philia

The more we walk, the more the bottom of our shoes become soiled in the same way
If we wear out our souls we’ll be overshadowed
At times like that remember the reason why you can’t give up
I was saved when I thought I was doing the saving, my hand was held when I thought I was holding the hand

Let light shine throughout the journey, can’t be summed up in terms of strengths or weaknesses
Each step that leads you to what it is you’re confronting is a victory brought on by your courage
Just like you need to breathe in to shout, an approach run’s necessary to jump high
We cried so we could laugh, that’s not defeat
Long hope philia

Time changes city streets and friends
You usually learn once you’re apart, sentimentality becomes evident when you have no one to lean on
Furthermore, I’m burdened by the guilt of not being able to get away from myself
So friend, watch over me until the end, I didn’t change unwittingly, I changed with intent

Let light shine over our setbacks, success, failures have no meaning
To those that laughed in the final episode, a happy ending that serves as a trophy
Wouldn’t have been hurt if I hadn’t hoped, wouldn’t have lost hope if I didn’t have any expectations
And yet I keep reaching out so give praise to those wounds
Long hope philia

Gave up, distrusted, and closed myself off, told I was a letdown
But my losses became my ammunition, a flower that blooms down in the dumps
My friend, so far away now a blueish constellation, at least we’re still alive
That’s all the luggage we need

Let light shine on life, life doesn’t require a reason
Head hung low, yet still resisted, that’s what you call the starting line
Because you laughed today this failure wasn’t in vain
Therefore, oh flower blooming down in the dumps, friend, an everlasting hope
Long hope philia
