Home Sweet Home
Ie made no michi nori chikai kyori dewa nai kedo
Ashidori omokute itsumo yori mo tooku ni kanjita
Yarikirenu omoi ni iradachi ga tomaranai
Demo mou sugu anata ni aeru to omotta shunkan ni
Yuruyaka na sakamichi mo sukippu ni kawaru yo
Aratamete anata to iu hito no taisetsusa ni kidzuku yo
Watashi ni wa kaeru beki basho ga aru kara koso
"Asu mo mata, ganbarou" to kono mune no naka ni hibikaseteku
Ureshisou na kao de "okaeri" wo iwaretara
Tachimachi watashi wa jishaku to nari suiyoserareteku
Tsukareta karada ni wa donna kusuri wo nomu yori
Hora fushigi ne anata to iretara genki ni natteku yo
Nanigenai hohoemi ni nando iyasareta darou
Atatakana yume no naka de mitasarete shimau kokoro goto
Itsumademo kaeru beki basho ga aru to ii ne
Yukkuri to susumu toki wo kono mama taisetsu ni shite yukou
Yuruyaka na sakamichi mo sukippu ni kawaru yo
Aratamete anata to iu hito no taisetsusa ni kidzuku yo
Kenka wo shite shimattemo nakanaori wo shitemo
Saigo ni wa yappari koko ni modotte kuru yo sunao na kimochi
Futari ni wa kaeru beki basho ga aru kara koso
"Asu mo mata, ganbarou" to kono mune no naka ni hibikaseteku
Home Sweet Home
The distance to our house isn’t short
But my feet were heavy and it felt even further than usual
I felt endless irritation for this love that wouldn’t work out
But the moment I thought about how I’d see you soon
I start to skip, even up the gentle slope
Once again, I realise you much you mean to me
It’s because I have a place to come home to
That “I’ll keep trying tomorrow!” rings through my heart
When you say “Welcome home” with a happy face
I’m drawn to you instantly, like a magnet
Being with you works better than any medicine
See, you have this mysterious way of making my tired body feel full of energy again
How much have I been healed, just by your smile?
In a warm dream, every bit of my heart is satisfied
I hope I’ll always have a place to come home to
I’ll keep treasuring the slow progress we make
I start to skip, even up the gentle slope
Once again, I realise you much you mean to me
Even when we fight, even when we make up
In the end, we always come back to this true feeling
It’s because we have a place to come home to
That “I’ll keep trying tomorrow!” rings through my heart
