Lyric

Through the window of the night bus

Morning in a town I don't know

At the terminal, on the damp concrete

Dragging that suitcase, heavy at your feet

"Got some time left," you said, taking a bite of bread

With sleepy eyes, talking about what lies ahead

Charging your phone in the corner upstairs

A gift in a paper bag, hidden from glares

A letter tucked in a clear folder, plain and true

I knew how many times you’d rewritten it for you

Your hands were shaking

I’d never seen you look that way

I almost laughed and said, "It’s just an idol, okay?"

But I bit my tongue, and let it stay

You were so sincere, so purely real

That was all I needed to know, all I needed to feel

Outside the dome, the wind swept through

The rain was gone, like it wasn't even true

Fans in costume were laughing in the light

I felt out of place, lost in the sight

But you walked straight ahead, eyes shining bright

Your face just melted when they called your name, alight

In that one moment, it all made sense

Why you came this far, despite the suspense

You couldn't stop talking, the whole way home

"It was insane," you kept saying, through the foam

You didn't need words, I could see it all there

The scent of the rain, the sound of your air

In that suitcase of yours

Clothes... and the courage you store

You’ll go again, won't you?

To Tokyo, to Fukuoka, somewhere new

I’m not gonna stop you, I’d never try

But I’ll keep a place for you to come home by

I’ll be here, the home you can always find

The sweetness of the 'Torimon', the salt of the 'Menbei'

Something about it feels just right, in its own way

On the way home from the expedition
