二人で撮った写真の行方

Futari de Totta Shashin no Yukue

Liner Notes

While sorting through my photo album, I found photos of the two of us still saved in the cloud, ones I thought I'd deleted. Me laughing, and you watching me. We looked so genuinely happy back then that I can't even understand how things turned out this way. I should just erase them, but my finger won't move. I move them to the trash, then pull them back, open them again, then close them. My swiping finger won't stop. Over the delete button, my finger freezes. Will the day ever come when I can look at them and feel nothing? The me inside the photo is still smiling, with a face that knows nothing of goodbye. As long as these photos have no place to belong, my heart stays suspended in the air too. I still can't decide. But until the day I finally can, I'll keep them right here.

Lyrics (Japanese)

決められないまままた見返してしまうスワイプしてる指が止まらない削除ボタンの上で指が止まるふたりで撮った写真行き場がない手もとのアルバム整理してたら消したはずの写真がクラウドに残ってた笑ってるわたしとわたしを見てるきみあのころのふたりは本当に幸せそう決められないまままた見返してしまうスワイプしてる指が止まらない削除ボタンの上で指が止まる二人で撮った写真行き場がないゴミ箱に入れてはもどしてまた開いては閉じておなじ写真を何度も見てしまういつか何も感じずに見られる日が来るのかな写真の中のわたしはまだ別れを知らないその笑顔がまぶしくてアルバムを閉じた決められないまままた見返してしまうスワイプしてる指が止まらない削除ボタンの上で指が止まる二人で撮った写真行き場がない消せばいいのに消せない捨てればいいのに捨てられないこの写真の居場所が決まらないかぎりわたしの気持ちも宙ぶらりんのまま決められないまままた見返してしまうスワイプしてる指が止まらないいつか決められる日までここに置いておく二人で撮った写真まだ消せない

Translation

Still unable to decide I find myself looking back again My swiping finger just won't stop Over the delete button my finger freezes The photos we took together have nowhere to go While I was sorting through the album on my phone a photo I thought I'd erased was still there in the cloud Me, laughing and you, watching me The two of us back then look so genuinely happy Still unable to decide I find myself looking back again My swiping finger just won't stop Over the delete button my finger freezes The photos we took together have nowhere to go I move them to the trash then pull them back I open them again then close them The same photos I keep looking at them over and over Will the day ever come when I can see them and feel nothing The me inside the photo still knows nothing of goodbye That smile was too bright to bear so I closed the album Still unable to decide I find myself looking back again My swiping finger just won't stop Over the delete button my finger freezes The photos we took together have nowhere to go I should just erase them but I can't I should just throw them away but I can't let them go As long as these photos have no place to belong my feelings too stay suspended in the air Still unable to decide I find myself looking back again My swiping finger just won't stop Until the day I can finally decide I'll keep them right here The photos we took together I still can't erase them
