KANJI 

故郷の景色頭で想像して　　あの花が咲いたとかあの子何才とか思う
でも気づいてみた時には　　本当の気持ちが空に映し出されてた

使い方間違った絵文字でくれたメ－ル
慣れない手つきで打つ姿　　浮かべてバカにする

心落ち着かせたら　　ソファ－で眠ってしまった
昨日のまま止まった画面　　少し潤う瞳

どんなに見栄張ったって　　どんなに大人ぶったって
弱いのは僕の方だから

見えなくても繫がっているんだ　　それでもあなたは僕を知りたがる
全てを誰がに捧げるなんて　　考えてみたけど　Stay Green

間違い電話装ってたまに電話するけど
心の言葉をすべて　　見透かされた気がした

優しさの意味を知らないで　　汚い言葉ぶつけて
泣かせたあの夜のことは事は忘れない

長い夜の時を超えて　　迎えた次の日の朝に
今までの時を作ってくれる

いつか僕もそうやって　　あなたと同じ気持ちで
会話できる日が　　僕にもくるかな？

どんなに成長したって　　どんなに大きくなったて
あなたには子供のままだから　Stay Green

ROMAJI

Anata ni wa kodomo no mama dakara Stay Green

TRANSLATION 

I would often picture my hometown: what flowers are blooming, how old everyone was.
But before I know, that sky already reflected my true feeling.

The mail I received that incorrectly used emojis.
I made fun of your figure, typing with unpracticed fingers.

When I calmed down, I fell asleep in the sofa.
The screen still showing your slightly moist eyes. 

No matter how much I show off, no matter how much I pretend to be an adult,
I'm still the weaker person.

Even though I am out of your sight, we are still connected. Still you want to know me.
Whereas I thought of giving it all up for someone else, Stay Green

Although I sometimes call pretending I called the wrong number,
I feel like you see through my every word.

Not knowing any kind words, I fling bad ones back. 
I'll never forget how I made you cry that night. 

Moving past that long night, and meeting with me the next morning.
It's thanks to you I came this far.

Will there ever come a day that I can be like you,
that we will have a conversation sharing the same feelings?

Because no matter how much I'll grow, or how tall I'll become,
to you I'll always stay a child, Stay Green.
