Lyrics & Translation

[English] In these waters where we met, I found you
When I held your hand, I was still breathing
That's all I thought
With wandering hearts, we pressed our foreheads together
We kissed, sitting upright in Seiza
And simply smiled softly
Inside this cage overflowing with hope
Love exists there without any reason
It was just you
Memories from childhood and what I want to eat tonight
Everything is different
So why do I want to be close to you?
Things that only others have
Living every day with ‘love’ as it is
If only I could put it into words, I’d be satisfied
Still denying it, distant and fragile
Feelings worthy of love
Now residing in my eyes
Sparkling and excited within this hell
We hugged each other’s helpless bodies
Returning to a baby
Laughing after stumbles, raising a toast with tears
With life poured into our goals
Eventually sleeping in the same place
The mysteries only others possess
Holding ‘love,’ even with a false smile
Stepping through each day, so I can walk forward
Near solitude
What gives me courage
In words that remain unspoken
And in the overflowing memories
We were always there
Living each day with love as it is
If only I could put it into words, I’d be satisfied
Still denying it, distant and fragile
Strong like love
All the days I thought of you
A song packed so it can reach you
Being near solitude
Feelings worthy of love
Now, we walk together
