**「That Red Light Still Knows Me」**

It’s cold again
Same street, same cracked road
Vending machine humming like it’s tired too
And yeah…
That red light’s still there
(ooh…)
(ah… slow…)

We used to walk here after work
You smelling like oil and smoke
Me pretending I wasn’t broke
Like that mattered

You kicked a stone, said “Someday”
Didn’t say when, didn’t say how
That little bar with the red light
Felt too grown-up for us
(too grown-up…)

We didn’t have much
But we had nights
Where laughing was free
And sleep came easy
(ooh… easy…)

That red light down the street
We never went inside
But standing there together
Felt like a life

If love is just
Not letting go too fast
Then maybe back then
We had more than we thought we had
(that red light…)
(more than we thought…)

Things got tight, you got quiet
Started staring at the wall
Coming home late, saying nothing
Like words cost too much

I asked, “You okay?”
You said, “Yeah… just tired”
Funny how that word
Can mean goodbye
(ooh… goodbye…)

You said my name
Like you were already gone
Like loving me
Was something you failed at
(failed at…)

That red light down the street
Was shaking in the rain
Same damn glow
But you wouldn’t meet my face

If leaving is how you survive
Then I won’t stop you now
Just don’t tell me
This didn’t hurt you too
(hurt you too…)
(ooh… too…)

I know you thought you’d save me
By walking out that door
But love doesn’t disappear
Just ’cause life gets hard

Every cheap cup on that table
Every joke we beat to death
They’re still sitting in my chest
Like unfinished breaths
(still here…)
(ooh… still…)

That red light down the street
I’m standing there alone
But it still feels like it knows me
Still feels like home

We were broke, yeah, we were scared
But we were real, we were true
If that’s all the love I get
It was enough
It was enough with you
(it was enough…)
(enough with you…)
(ooh… enough…)

It’s late now
Street’s quiet, bars closing
That red light sways
Like it remembers

Not asking me to come back
Not asking me to stay
Just saying
“Yeah… you were here once”
(you were here…)
(ah… soft…)

**「あの赤い灯りはまだ俺を知ってる」**

また寒くなったな
同じ道　同じひび割れたアスファルト
自販機の音まで　疲れてるみたいでさ
…ほら
あの赤い灯り　まだある
(ooh…)
(ah… slow…)

仕事終わり　ここ歩いたよな
お前は油と煙の匂い
俺は金ないの隠すみたいに
平気な顔してさ

小石蹴って　「そのうち」って
いつかも　理由も　言わないまま
赤い灯りのあるあの店
俺たちには　まだ早かった
(too grown-up…)

何もなかったけど
夜だけは
笑うのに
金はいらなかった
(ooh… easy…)

通りの先の　赤い灯り
一度も　中には入らなかった
でも　並んで立ってるだけで
人生みたいに感じてた

もし愛って
手放さないことなら
あの頃の俺たち
思ってたより　持ってたんだな
(that red light…)
(more than we thought…)

余裕なくなって　口数減って
壁ばっか　見てたよな
帰り遅くて　理由も言わず
言葉が高くなったみたいに

「大丈夫？」って聞いたら
「疲れてるだけ」って
ああいう言い方
別れの前触れなんだな
(ooh… goodbye…)

俺の名前
もう過去形みたいに呼んで
愛することが
失敗だったみたいな顔で
(failed at…)

通りの先の　赤い灯り
雨に揺れてた
同じ光なのに
俺を見なかった

もし逃げるのが
生きるためなら　止めはしない
ただ　これが痛くなかったなんて
言うなよ
(hurt you too…)
(ooh… too…)

守るために　離れたつもりだったんだろ
でもな　愛って
生活がきつくなったくらいで　
消えない

安い酒　小さなテーブル
何回も同じ話して
今も胸に残ってる
言い切れなかった　息みたいに
(still here…)
(ooh… still…)

通りの先の　赤い灯り
今は　俺ひとり　でも　あいつ
まだ俺を知ってる気がする
まだ　帰る場所みたいだ

金もなくて　怖かったけど
嘘はなかった
もし一生分の愛が
あれだけなら　それでよかった
お前とだったなら
(it was enough…)
(enough with you…)
(ooh… enough…)

もう遅いな
通りも静かで
店も閉まる

赤い灯りが
覚えてるみたいに揺れてる
戻れって　言わない
待てとも　言わない
ただ「確かに ここにいたな」って
(you were here…)
(ah… soft…)
