Verse 1

sugite yuku jikan no naka

As time keeps slipping by

anata o omoidasu

I think back on you

monouge ni nagameru gamen ni utsutta futari

The two of us on the screen I'm gazing at so wistfully

waratteita

We were laughing

shiritakunai hodo shirisugiteku koto

Learning so much I wish I didn't know

tada sugiru hibi ni nomikomareta no

I got swallowed up by days that just went by

soredemo tada mou ichido dake aitakute

But still, I just wanted to see you one more time

anata no kotoba ni unazuki shinjita watashi o

Me, who nodded and believed your words

hitori okizari ni jikan wa sugiru

Time passes, leaving me behind alone

Chorus 1

mieteita hazu no mirai mo yubi no sukima o surinuketa

Even the future I thought I could see slipped through my fingers

modorenai hibi no kakera to anata no kehai o

Pieces of the days I can't go back to, and traces of you

ima de mo sagashiteshimau yo

I still find myself searching for them

mada ano hi no futari ni te o nobashiteru ah ah ah ah ah

I'm still reaching out to the two of us from that day, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

Verse 2

kyoukaisen wa jibun de hiita

I drew the boundary line myself

genjitsu wa tte minai furi o shiteita

Saying "that's reality," I pretended not to see

sonna watashi ja mienai mienai

Someone like me just can't see it, can't see it

kyoukaisen no mukou ni saita

The vivid flowers that bloomed

senretsuna hanatachi mo

On the other side of the boundary line

hontou wa mieteta noni

Even though I could really see them all along

shirazu shirazu no uchi ni

Before I even knew it

suriherashita kokoro no tobira ni kagi o kaketa no

I locked the door of my worn-down heart

soko ni wa tada utsukushisa no nai

And all that was left in there

watashi dake ga nokosareteita

Was just me, with no beauty at all

Verse 3

aosugiru sora ni me no oku ga shimita

The way-too-blue sky stung deep behind my eyes

ano hi no keshiki ni tori ni kaeru no

I'm going back to that day's scenery to bring back

anata ga suki da to ittekureta watashi o

The me you told me you loved

dare ni mo misezuni kono te de kakushita omoi ga

The feelings I hid with my own hands, showing nobody

ima mo watashi no naka de ikiteiru

Are still alive inside me now

Chorus 2

me o tojitemireba ima mo azayakani yomigaeru keshiki to

When I close my eyes, the scenery still comes back so vividly

modorenai hibi no kakera ga utsushidashita no wa

And what the pieces of the days I can't go back to showed me

tsubomi no mama tojikometa mirai

Was a future I locked away while it was still a bud

mou ichido egakidasu

I'll draw it out once again

Bridge

ano hi no anata no kotoba to utsukushii jikan to

Your words from that day and the beautiful time we had

futari de sugoshita ano keshiki ga

And the scenery where the two of us spent our time

wasureteta omoi to nakushita hazu no mirai o tsunaideiku

Connect the feelings I'd forgotten with the future I thought I'd lost

modorenai hibi no tsuzuki o aruiteiku nda

I'll keep walking on through the rest of the days I can't go back to

Outro

korekara mo anata ga inakutemo

From now on, even without you

ano hi no futari ni te o fureba

When I wave to the two of us from that day

tashikani ugokidashita mirai e ah

I've really started moving toward the future, ah

"ハルジオン" starts in a place most of us know too well: scrolling through old photos. She looks at a screen where "画面に映った二人 / 笑っていた" [the two of us on the screen / were laughing], and time just keeps moving without her. The line that hurts most is "一人置き去りに時間は過ぎる" [time passes, leaving me behind alone]. She believed what he said, and now the future she thought she could see has slipped "指の隙間をすり抜けた" [through the gaps between my fingers].

Then the song turns the blame inward, which is the part I love. "境界線は自分で引いた" [I drew the boundary line myself]. She hid behind "「現実は」" ["reality is..."], the excuse people say before giving up, and locked the door of her worn-down heart. Beyond that line, flowers were blooming the whole time, and "本当は見えてたのに" [I could actually see them]. The title fits this image: harujion is the Japanese name for Philadelphia fleabane, a small wildflower, so the "flowers" here are a real plant, not just a metaphor.
