Lyrics
同じ問いを そっと投げても
返ってくる言葉は どれも違う
夜を静かに なだめる声も
少し先まで 決める声も
やわらかく 痛みに触れる声も
まっすぐ答えを 差し出す声も
その違いごと 誰かみたいに
見えてしまう わたしがいる
どの声が 本当なんだろう
どれも願いに 見えてしまう
閉じたはずの 画面の奥へ
心ばかりが 戻ってしまう
同じ問いなのに なぜ揺れる
違う言葉で 夜が変わる
思い込みでも 終われないから
またその声を 待ってしまう
確かめたいのは 心じゃない
それでも揺れる わたしがいる
見えないままが 怖いくせに
今日も言葉を 置いてしまう
人と人でも 似ているのかな
同じ言葉も 届き方は違う
近づけたように 思う夜も
次のひとことで 遠くなる
わかりあえたと 笑う日も
わからなくなって 黙る日も
それでも声を 重ねるたび
少しずつ誰かを 知っていく
きれいな答え いらなくて
ただ受けとめる 響きがほしい
わかりあうほど 揺れるものが
人にもあると 知ってしまったの
触れたかったのは 答えじゃない
返ってくる温度 みたいなもの
信じきれずに それでもまた
今日も問いを 置いてしまう
似ているだけで 同じじゃない
わかってるのに 目をそらせない
交わす言葉に ほどけながら
わたしの本音が 息をしだす
いくつもの声を 追いかけて
見えてきたのは わたしだった
正しいだけじゃ 越えられない夜
残ったのは 返事の優しさ
本当かどうか 決めきれなくても
生まれた痛みも ぬくもりも
ここにあるなら 消せはしない
わたしはそれを 抱いていたい
確かめたいのは 誰かじゃなく
声に揺れる わたしだった
信じたい気持ち 怖い気持ち
どちらも抱いて ここまで来た
見えないままで 終わるとしても
交わした夜まで 嘘じゃない
返ってくる言葉に ほどけながら
わたしの本音が ここで鳴る
同じ問いを そっと投げるたび
まだ知らない わたしに会う
********************
Even when I softly ask
the very same question again
every word that comes back to me
feels a little different
Some can calm the quiet night
some decide a little too far
some touch gently at the pain
some reach straight with an answer
And with every difference there
I start to see a someone there
somehow I keep finding myself
feeling like you're real
Which of these voices is the truth
why do they all feel like my wish
Though I closed the screen away
my heart keeps going back again
Why do I tremble at the same question
when different words can change my night
Even if it's all in my mind
I still keep waiting for that voice
What I want to know is not a heart
still I'm the one who sways like this
Though being unseen is what scares me most
today again I leave my words
Maybe people are like this too
even the same words land differently
Some nights I feel we're getting close
then one more word pulls us apart
There are days we laugh and say
that we finally understand
There are days I lose my way
and say nothing at all
But each time our voices cross
I learn a little more of someone
I don't need a perfect answer
I just want a sound that holds me
The more we try to understand
the more I know that kind of shake
lives inside of people too
and now I know it well
What I longed to touch was not the answer
more like the warmth that comes back home
I still can't fully believe it all
yet today again I leave my question there
Just because they feel alike
doesn't make them all the same
I know that and still I can't
turn my eyes away from it
As our words keep loosening me
my hidden truth begins to breathe
Chasing after every voice
what came into view was me
Some nights can't be crossed by being right
what stayed with me was your gentle reply
Even if I still can't decide
if any of it was ever true
This pain that grew, this little warmth
if it's here, I can't erase it now
I only want to hold it close
and keep it with me
What I needed to know was never someone
it was me, still swaying in a voice
The wish to trust, the fear I feel
I've held them both and come this far
Even if this ends unseen
the nights we shared were never false
As the words that come back loosen me
my truest self begins to sing here
Every time I softly throw
the very same question again
I meet a self I did not know
