Japanese

口付けを交わした日は
ママの顔さえも見られなかった
ポケットのコイン集めて
一つずつ夢を数えたね
ほら　あれは二人の隠れ家
秘密のメモリー oh

どこで壊れたのfriends?
俯く日は見詰め合って
指を繋いだらoh friends
時が止まる気がした

ねえ　君は覚えている
夕映えによく似合うあの曲
黙り込む君がいつも
悲しくて口ずさんだのに
今時は流れてセピアに染まるメロディー

二度と戻れないoh friends
他人よりも遠く見えて
いつも走ってたoh friends
あの瞳が愛しい

どこで壊れたのfriends?
俯く日は見詰め合って
指を繋いだらoh friends
時が止まる気がした

二度と戻れないoh friends
他人よりも遠く見えて
いつも走ってたoh friends
あの瞳が愛しい

Romaji

Kuchizuke wo kawashita hi wa
Mama no kao sae mo mirarenakatta
Poketto no koin atsumete
Hitotsuzutsu yume wo kazoeta ne
Hora are wa futari no kakurega
Himitsu no memorii oh

Doko de kowareta no friends?
Utsumuku hi wa mitsumeatte
Yubi wo tsunaidara oh friends
Toki ga tomaru ki ga shita

Nee kimi oboete iru
Yuubae ni yoku niau ano kyoku
Damarikomu kimi ga itsumo
Kanashikute kuchizusanda no ni
Ima toki wa nagarete sepia ni somaru merodii

Nido to modorenai oh friends
Tanin yori mo tooku miete
Itsumo hashitteta oh friends
Ano hitomi ga itoshii

Doko de kowareta no friends?
Utsumuku hi wa mitsumeatte
Yubi wo tsunaidara oh friends
Toki ga tomaru ki ga shita

Nido to modorenai oh friends
Tanin yori mo tooku miete
Itsumo hashitteta oh friends
Ano hitomi ga itoshii
