逢いたくて逢いたくて
いつもさがしてた
あなたには見えないの
いつもそばにいる私が

やがて旅立つ　あなたはいつも
遠くばかり　見つめてる
私の心通り越して
遥かな夢を見つめてる
… close to me …

気付いてよ…気付いてよ
いつもふるえてる
二度と戻らない十七才の
私は今ここにいるよ

街ちはいま目を覚めし
みんな動き出す
新しい今日だって
明日になれば昨日になる

やがて旅立つ　あなたをきっと
笑顔作って　送れるわ
私も少し強くなれる
私の夢を見つけるわ
… maybe tomorrow …

好きでした好きでした
夢に向かうあなたが
あなたを見つめた十七才の
そんな私も好きでいたい

Translation

I wanna see you, I wanna see you
I always searched for you
But you can't see me
Always at your side

Soon you'll depart
You always gaze far away
Right past by heart
You're gazing at a faraway dream
...close to me...

Notice me... notice me
I'm always shivering
I'm here right now at seventeen
Can't go back to this moment later

The city wakes up now
Everybody begins to move
Even if it's a new day today
It'll become "yesterday" by tomorrow

Soon you'll depart
I'll see you off with a forced smile
I can become a bit stronger
I'll find my own dream
...maybe tomorrow...

I loved you, I loved you
As you chased your dreams
I want to love that seventeen-year old me, too
That gazed upon you
