Fukuyama Masaharu の Heart

(Music / Lyrics: Fukuyama Masaharu)

The sun-burnt school building and sport grounds
The brass band on the roof top
Chasing the melody of my dreams, my summer at 15

Do you remember your friends?
Do you remember your dreams?
Do you feel happy now?

Never-ending arrivals, encounters and farewells
I seem to lose sight of myself at times, but then

My Hometown
My love; injuries and goodbyes
They were all my first experiences
and they were engraved on me

My Hometown
In a world where everything changes
Even though you or the city are different now
Please be the place that my heart can return to
Forever my Hometown

Foreign ships, their steam whistles blowing
Leaning against the lighthouse, by myself
Thinking about “going far away”, my summer at 18

“I guess it’s a dead end wherever I go”
Desolation resounds in reply
Hugging my guitar, I stare at the skies

As my longing meets with reality
Not you even, not even tomorrow, could I protect ……

My Hometown
I loved this city that day
I hated this city that day
On the station platform where I set out

My Hometown
I so wanted to take you with me
I so wanted to take you away
Clenching my pockets
Our promises, set free in the wind

This was the only one chance I had, I really wanted it
To this day, whatever I have gained, or lost, I’m still searching

My Hometown
My love; injuries and goodbyes
They were all my first experiences
and they were engraved on me

My Hometown
In a world where everything changes
Even though you or the city are different now
Please be the place that my heart can return to
Please be there
so my heart can return
Forever my Hometown
