[English]
For whatever reason, we
have drifted apart
But we, we, we
decided not to resent anything that might come between us
We said nothing could tear us apart
Yet I'm growing more and more scared
Afraid we'll drift apart forever
I'll use this music to convey my feelings to you
People say the world has changed completely
Fortunately, our bond hasn't changed just yet
Let's say hello, not goodbye
Even if the world doesn't go as I wish
Counting just a few nights as we hope
Don't ever forget the day we'll meet again
Time keeps flowing on
Someone might fade from memory
Just do what you want
Whoa
Time is like a wave
Receding like the tide
But please don't forget and come find me
In this moment when everything has stopped
The front door looks farther away today than usual
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
In this moment when everyone has fallen apart
Our bond drifting further than yesterday
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
The places I've passed through over these 10 years
Countless scars and glories along the way
Looking back, every single moment is a memory
I've been running like it was my last, but I'm still scared
I know, I know, this place right now
Will soon become just a memory
Don't be afraid, until the very end of my life
Life will keep going endlessly
Time keeps flowing on
Someone might fade from memory
Just do what you want
Whoa
Time is like a wave
Receding like the tide
But please don't forget and come find me
In this moment when everything has stopped
The front door looks farther away today than usual
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
In this moment when everyone has fallen apart
Our bond drifting further than yesterday
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
In this moment when everything has stopped
The front door looks farther away today than usual
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
In this moment when everyone has fallen apart
Our bond drifting further than yesterday
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
