[English]

Let me hear your voice one more time

Still stuck, unable to flip it

The summer day calendar

Try smiling and saying "I'm home"

I don't even know the address to send it to

So many things left behind

I can hear the sound of my heart breaking

I realize how much I loved you

I can never add to them again

Living on, embracing the memories

Day by day

At what speed should I chase

To meet you again?

The days we spent close together, the meaning of life

It was you who gave it to me

That's why I always keep thinking of you in my heart

Can you still hear my voice?

Unstopping days, a journey to meet you

Wait for me with a smile that suits you so well

The words deep in my heart that I couldn't say

Now, I can give them to you as they are

If I whisper, a distance I could reach

With fingertips at zero centimeters

I felt like I had passed it on

I wonder why, when we're apart

The words overflow

Laughing that it's too late now

I found only you, a shooting star from some time ago

I wonder what wish you were making

That day, you were looking up at

Gazing at the end of the indigo color

Day by day

Crossing the distance of billions of light-years

Like a star traveling through its light

Unchanging love, a certain light

I keep wishing until it reaches you

So, if we ever meet again someday

Let's meet in the middle of the light

So you don't get lost

I'll be waiting, shining without blinking

The warmth you gave me won't disappear

Hugging it close, I'll live on in the present

I'll call your name, day after day

I'll keep shouting, let's stay the way we were

Day by day

At what speed should I chase

To meet you again?

The days we shared, the seasons suddenly

Carry only you away to the distance

That's why I always keep thinking of you in my heart

Can you still hear my voice?

Days moving forward, every time I open my eyes

I believe I'm getting closer to fate

The words deep in my heart that I couldn't say

Now, I can give them to you as they are

No matter how much time passes, eternally

The "I love you" that won't become past tense

...

[Japanese]

もう一度さ 声を聴かせてよ

めくれないままでいる

夏の日のカレンダー

ただいまってさ 笑ってみせてよ

送り先もわからない

忘れものばかりだ

ココロが壊れる音が聴こえて

どれだけ君を愛していたか知って

もう二度とは増やせない

思い出を抱いて 生きて

デイバイデイ

どんなスピードで追いかけたら

また君と巡り逢えるだろう

寄り添った日々 生きている意味

くれたのは君なんだよ

だから いつもココロで想い続けてる

まだ僕の声は聴こえてる？

止まらない日々 君に逢う旅

よく似合う笑み浮かべて 待ってて

言えなかった胸の奥の言葉

いまなら ありのまま君に渡せる

囁けばさ 届けられた距離

ゼロセンチの指先で

渡せた気になってた

どうしてかな 離れている方が

言葉溢れだすのは

いまさらと笑って

君だけ見つけた いつかの流星

どんな願いを浮かべていたのかな

あの日君が見上げてた

藍色の先を見つめ

デイバイデイ

幾億年の距離をこえて

輝きを伝う星のように

変わらない愛 確かなヒカリ

届くまで願い続ける

だから いつか僕ら巡り逢えたなら

輝きの中 待ち合わせよう

君が迷子にならないように

瞬きもせず 照らして待ってる

消えやしない 君がくれた温もり

抱きしめ 僕はいまを生きていくから

名前を呼ぶよ 来る日も来る日も

たえず叫ぶよ あのままの二人でいようよ

デイバイデイ

どんなスピードで追いかけたら

また君と巡り逢えるだろう

わけあえた日々 季節はふいに

君だけを乗せ 彼方へ

だから いつもココロで想い続けてる

まだ僕の声は聴こえてる？

進み出す日々 目を開けるたび

近づいていく 運命と信じて

言えなかった胸の奥の言葉

いまなら ありのまま君に渡せる

どれだけの時が流れても 永遠に

過去形にならない "I love you"
