Crayon Missile (クレヨンミサイル)

English lyrics

People change, intentions change, we knew from the start
Words wither away, foggy assumptions constantly overturned
You won’t part with your blanket, you won’t agree
Like an innocent virgin, you closed your legs, not kicking your feet

At the park at night, its ivory tiles, scribbles and damp fireworks
On top of the crayon-shaped missile, we caressed each other

Come on, you can fly
I’m thinking of fun things to do, as a child would
I know something even better, but you keep shaking your head
I’m not scared, because I know nothing of pain

You change, your intentions too, but you can’t go back to the start
Your words cut off, assumptions halted, look only at the facts
With a newly bought blanket, you’re like an innocent virgin
You agreed, even while kicking your feet, you kept your legs closed

By the lamp in the park at night, a candy box and children’s shoes
On top of the crayon-shaped missile, we were flying*

Come on, you can fly
I’m thinking of fun things to do, as a child would
I know something even more uncomfortable, you just nod your head
I’m afraid, because I remember the pain

Let’s go to the park at night and talk, remembering all the fun we had
With that crayon-shaped missile

See, look, you can fly
I’m thinking of fun things to do, as a child would
You were the very first of us to grow up
Shaking your head all the while, crying, and crying.

Come on, you can fly
We’re thinking of something fun to do, as children would
Tell me what feels even better, because you won’t tell anyone else
Come on, you can fly
We’re thinking of fun things to do

Kanji

人は変わる　意図も変わる　最初から知ってる
言葉は枯れ　仮説は霧　覆しつづける
手放せぬ毛布　無垢な処女みたいだ
受け入れず　蹴りもつけず　足を閉じていて

夜の公園のアイボリータイル　落書きとしけた花火
クレヨン型のミサイルのてっぺんで　かわされる愛撫

さぁ　もう　君は飛べる
楽しいこと考えている　子供のままでいる
ほどに増してく快感のこと　知ってる　首を横に振り続け
恐れない　痛みを知らずにいるから

君は変わり　意図も変わり　最初には戻れず
言葉を切り　仮説をやめ　現実をみつめて
買い換えた毛布　無垢な処女みたいだ
受け入れて　蹴りをつけても　足は閉じていた

夜の公園の棒立ちランプ　菓子箱と小人の靴下
クレヨン型のミサイルのてっぺんで　操縦している

さぁ　もう　君は飛べる
楽しいこと考えてる　子供のままでいる
ほどに増してく違和感のこと　知ってる　首を縦に振り続け
恐れる　痛みを覚えているから

夜の公園で話そうよ　楽しいこと思い出して
クレヨン型のミサイルと

さぁ　ほら　君は飛べる
楽しいこと考えてる　子供のままでいる
君がいちばん最初に大人になってた
首を横に振り続け　泣いてた　泣いてた

さぁ　もう　君は飛べる
楽しいこと考えてる　子供のままでいる
ほどに増してく快感のこと　教えて　誰にも言わずにいるから
さぁ　もう　君は飛べる
楽しいこと　考えてる
