[English]

How long has it been?

The rain has stopped crying.

Hands that block out the clingy noise.

Taking along someone who doesn't believe in forever.

There's nothing to hold us back.

Don't look back on your past.

Even while doubting.

I will shine on your path ahead.

Grab the air.

We can try to fly, fly.

And take me there.

When you cry, I cry with you.

How long can we run away?

No exit, just moonlight.

From shadows distorted by the dim light.

Taking along someone who doesn't believe this isn't who they are.

There's nothing to hold us back.

Your voice is the one that changes the direction.

I see your pain as perfection.

You know, as long as we're together.

We can go on forever.

Grab the air.

We can try to fly.

Take me there.

When you cry, I cry.

Grab the air.

We can try to fly.

And take me there.

When you cry, I cry with you.

...

...

Don't look back on your past.

Even while doubting.

I will shine on your way ahead.

Grab the air.

Won't you take me there?

Grab the air.

We can try to fly.

Take me there.

When you cry, I cry.

Grab the air.

We can try to fly.

Take me there.

When you cry, I cry with you.

...

雨は泣き止んでた

まとわりつくノイズを塞ぐ手が

永遠なんて信じない君を連れ

I will shine on your way その先へ

出口もない moon light

薄明かりに歪んだ影から

こんなんじゃないと信じない君を連れ

It's your voice that change direction

I see your pain as perfection

You know, as long as we're together

When you cry, cry

Grab the air

We can try to fly

And take me there
