もっと　欲しくなること

I find myself wanting more

きっと　わかってても

Even though I probably know

空に隠していたよ

I hide it in the sky

星に託して

I entrust it to the stars

もしも　出会ってなければ

If we had never met

きっと　満たされてない

I’d probably still feel empty

でも苦しいような

But it feels so painful

あせるような時が続く

Like I’m in a rush, waiting in this moment

すぐに会いたい

I want to see you soon

今すぐ会いたい

Right now, I want to see you

こみあげるように　こころが騒ぐ

My heart is racing, overwhelmed

あなたに会いたい

I want to see you

夢の中でも

Even in my dreams

あなたに会えること願うよ

I wish I could see you in my dreams

あなたは　今なにをして

What are you doing now?

どんなことを想っているの

What are you thinking about?

すべては知らなくても

Even if I don’t know everything

半分　欠けてる光

There’s a half-shaded light

そっと　顔を出した

Gently peeking out

もう片方を探してる？

Are you searching for the other half?

叶わない夢

Unfulfilled dreams

叶わない恋

Unrequited love

隠せないまま　やり過ごした

I’ve been just going along, hiding it

だけど高鳴る

But my heart beats faster

血が流れてる

Blood is flowing

その音がただ大きくなるよ

And that sound is only getting louder

あなたに届くといいな

I hope it reaches you

デタラメな軌道通って

Following a wild, uncertain path

無茶苦茶な弧を描いてた

Forming a crazy arc

暴れ出した想い

My feelings, they’re running wild

ずっと　堕ちていったなら

If I keep falling deeper

どこかに　辿り着くんだろう

Eventually, I’ll reach somewhere

でも　あなたに出会いたい

But I still want to meet you

すぐに会いたい

I want to see you soon

今すぐ抱きたい

Right now, I want to hold you

強く高鳴る

Beating so strongly

予感をなぞる

Tracing this premonition

その音をただ　追いかけるよ

Just chasing after that sound
