君がくれた靴をはいていた
かかと鳴らす雨上がりの駐車場
チケットも約束も無くて
汚れるのも気にせず歩いたね ライヴァル

涙は見せない強がり 自慢だった
失くした恋よりも 胸に焼きついてる

いじけ顔のフォトグラフが手を振る

19 GROWING UP
一人で戸惑う夜は
借りたままの腕時計動かせば
19 GROWING UP
君の笑顔 途切れ 途切れ
私まで聞こえる GROWIN' UP

盗み出した 彼にも秘密の
女同士少しヤバイ計画
合言葉は「冴えたやり方」
いつだってパイレーツ気取りだったよね

もう二度と開くことの無い 宝の地図
選んだ心のビートが走り出すから

いじけ顔のフォトグラフに手を振る

19 GROWING UP
それぞれの Treasure Islands
一つずつ 現実に変ってく
19 GROWING UP
今でも巧くやってるなら 忘れるなよ
いつまでも GROWING UP

GROWING UP
一人で戸惑う夜は
借りたままの腕時計動かせば
19 GROWING UP
君の笑顔 途切れ 途切れ
私まで聞こえる GROWIN' UP

kimi ga kureta kutsu wo haiteita
kaka to narasu amea gari no chuushajou
chiketto mo yakusoku monakute
yogoreruno mo ki ni sezu aruita ne raivaru

namida ha misenai tsuyogari jiman datta
nakushita koi yori mo mune ni yakitsuiteru

ijike kao no fotogurafu ga te wo furu

19 Growing Up
hitori de tomadou yoru wa
garita mama no ude tokei ugokaseba
19 Growing Up
kimi no egao togire togire
watashi made kikoeru growing up

nusumedashita kare nimo himitsu no
onna doushi sukoshi yabai keikaku
aikotoba wa saetayari kata
itsudatte paireetsu kidori datta yo ne

mou ni do to aku koto no nai takara no chizu
eranta kokoro no biito ga hashiridasu kara

ijike kao no fotogurafu ga te wo furu

19 Growing Up
sorezore no Treasure Islands
hitotsu zutsu banjitsu ni kawatteku
19 Growing Up
ima demo takuyatteru nara wasureru nai yo
itsumademo growing up

Growing Up
hitori de tomadou yoru wa
garita mama no ude tokei ugokaseba
19 Growing Up
kimi no egao togire togire
watashi made kikoeru growing up

Translation

 

After the rain I was excitedly walking around a parking lot
in the shoes you gave me
We had no assurance for the future, nor prospect
but buddy we didn't care at all

I was proud of my guts, never showing my tears
The pride is still carved in my mind deeper than my lost loves

Myself in the photograph is timidly waving at me

19 growing up
If you're stranded alone at night
you can start my watch I lent you long ago
19 growing up
You may only smile intermittently
but I'm sure you keep growing up

What I drew up with you was a thrilling future map
I never showed this even to my boyfriend
A "cool way" was our word
We were always wannabe pirates

I'll never open this treasure map again
because I can't stop my heartbeat from racing once opening it

I'll say goodbye to timid myself in the photograph

19 growing up
Our "treasure islands"
will turn into reality one by one
19 growing up
Remember to keep growing up
even if you're getting along

Growing up
If you're stranded alone at night
you can start my watch I lent you long ago
19 growing up
You may only smile intermittently
but I'm sure you keep growing up
