Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Through the turnstile, another weary face
Walking home in the evening rat race
Stop by the corner shop to buy a cup of tea
The girl behind the counter smiles and hands it back to me
And she says "Thank you, have a lovely night"
It’s a little thing, but it makes it alright
Even on the days when I forget how to smile
Those little words stay with me for a while
[Pre-Chorus]
Whenever somebody is kind to me
I wonder if I give it back, let it be
And after all the foolish things I say
I whisper "I’m sorry" at the end of the day
[Chorus]
Life is just a pocket full of words
"Thank you," and "You're welcome," singing like the birds
"I am sorry," carry them along
You don’t have to be strong, you don't have to belong
If we can share a laugh, then nothing is wrong
Yeah, that is enough for today!
[Verse 2]
Shirts on the washing line, blowing in the breeze
Sun setting down behind the apple trees
I don’t need a ticket to a magical land
Just a place to go home, and a holding hand
Words are a mystery, wouldn't you agree?
Just one syllable can set your heart free
Or tear it right in two, make you feel so small
It's funny how a little word can catch you when you fall
[Bridge]
Too many "Thank yous" make a heavy load
Only saying "Sorry" leaves you lost on the road
But the kindness that you gave to me, it opened up the door
I wanna give it back to you, and maybe a little more
[Final Chorus]
Life doesn't have to be a grand old play
Even when the skies are looking terribly grey
We are all connected in a beautiful way
"Thank you"
"You're welcome"
"I am sorry"
Round and round it goes, from the moon to the sun
Another day is over and tomorrow's begun...

[Verse 1]
改札を抜ける、また一つ疲れた顔
夕暮れのラットレースの中、家路を急ぐ
街角の店に立ち寄って、紅茶を一杯買うんだ
カウンターの奥の女の子が微笑んで、僕に渡してくれる
そして「ありがとう、素敵な夜を」って言うんだ
ささいな事だけど、それだけで救われる
笑い方を忘れてしまったような日でも
その小さな言葉が、しばらく心に留まってくれるんだ
[Pre-Chorus]
誰かが僕に優しくしてくれるたび
ちゃんと返せているかなって思うんだ(なるがままに)
そして、馬鹿なことを言った後には
一日の終わりに「ごめんね」と小さく呟くんだ
[Chorus]
人生なんて、言葉を詰め込んだポケットみたいなもの
「ありがとう」と「どういたしまして」が、鳥のように歌ってる
「ごめんなさい」も一緒に持ち歩いて
強くなくてもいい、どこかに馴染めなくてもいい
誰かと笑い合えたなら、それで何も間違ってない
そう、今日はもうそれで十分なんだ!
[Verse 2]
物干しロープのシャツが、そよ風に揺れている
リンゴの木の向こうに、夕陽が沈んでいく
魔法の国へのチケットなんていらない
ただ帰る場所と、繋いでくれる手があればいい
言葉って不思議だよね、そう思わない?
たった一言で、心が自由になれる
あるいは真っ二つに引き裂いて、ひどくちっぽけな気持ちにさせたりもする
倒れそうな時に、小さな言葉が受け止めてくれるなんて、おかしいよね
[Bridge]
「ありがとう」ばかりじゃ、心の荷物が重たくなってしまう
「ごめんなさい」だけでは、道に迷ってしまうから
でも、君がくれた優しさが、ドアを開いてくれたんだ
君にそれを返したい、できればもう少しだけ多くして
[Final Chorus]
人生なんて、大げさな古いお芝居じゃなくていい
空がひどく灰色に見える日だって
僕らはみんな、美しい形で繋がっているんだ
「ありがとう」
「どういたしまして」
「ごめんなさい」
月と太陽のように、ぐるぐると巡っていく
また一日が終わって、明日が始まっていく…
