lyrics

(mae ni)

Juuroku no watashi wa nanimo shiranakatta
At sixteen I knew nothing and that is why it worked
Ima wa zenbu shitteru, dakara kakenai
Now I know everything, which is why I cannot write it again

And the light comes anyway!
It does not check whether you deserved it!
It arrives on a timetable that has nothing to do with you!

Before the light arrives
There is a whole hour that nobody writes songs about
Before the light arrives
And that hour is where I actually live

Kodomo-tachi wa mada juuroku de, watashi dake susumu
They are sixteen forever. Only I move. That was the deal.

And the light comes anyway!
It does not check whether you deserved it!

Before the light arrives
There is a whole hour that nobody writes songs about
Before the light arrives
And that hour is where I actually live

(mae ni...)
