返した手が寒い

Kaeshita Te ga Samui

Liner Notes

I'm only returning the charger I borrowed, yet my hand alone keeps growing cold. I made it a story, from a brief goodbye on a park bench to going back to my room and quietly passing through the night. On a night when you can't cry out loud, I'd be happy if this could gently stay beside you.

Lyrics (Japanese)

冷たい風が指に残る公園のベンチ紙袋が軽い借りた充電器返すだけなのにきみの指先が少し遠いありがとうが喉で止まる笑顔の形を作ってみたでも目が合うとほどけてしまう言えない言葉が手のひらにたまる返した手が寒いすぐに夜になるぬくもりの場所だけ空いたまま好きがまだ残るでも戻らない返した手が寒いわたしを起こす部屋に戻ってコンセントを探すいつものコードがやけに頼りない光るランプだけ元気に見える満ちない気持ちが静かに減る思い出の中できみを休ませる連絡の理由をもう作らない返した手が寒いすぐに夜になるぬくもりの場所だけ空いたまま好きがまだ残るでも戻らない返した手が寒いわたしを起こすはじめて借りた日文化祭の帰り電池がゼロでも笑えた夜あの優しさだけ胸にしまう返したのは物だけ残したのはわたし返した手が寒いそれでも歩けるぬくもりが消えても声は残る好きだったわたしを置き去りにしない返した手が寒いだからあたたかい

Translation

The cold wind lingers on my fingers A bench in the park the paper bag feels light I'm only returning the charger I borrowed yet your fingertips feel a little far away A thank you catches in my throat I tried to shape a smile but when our eyes met it came undone Words I can't say pool in my palms The hand I gave back is cold Night falls so quickly Only the place that held warmth is left empty Love still remains but there's no going back The hand I gave back is cold and it wakes me Back in my room I search for the outlet My usual cord feels strangely unreliable Only the glowing lamp looks full of life A feeling that won't be filled quietly fades Within my memories I let you rest I won't make up reasons to message you anymore The hand I gave back is cold Night falls so quickly Only the place that held warmth is left empty Love still remains but there's no going back The hand I gave back is cold and it wakes me The day I first borrowed it on the way home from the school festival even with a dead battery that was a night we could laugh Only that tenderness I keep tucked in my chest What I returned was just the object what I left behind was myself The hand I gave back is cold but still I can walk Even if the warmth fades the voice remains The me who was in love I won't leave her behind The hand I gave back is cold and that is why it's warm
