[English]

Fragmented voices

Sirens blaring out

Hidden within the noise

I already knew the words

The windows that separate us two

Are closing in

Watching the thread that’s coming apart

I was gazing at it

My outstretched hand, unsteady, reaches for the sky

The mournful sound of the wind

Still reflected in your silent eyes

Break apart even the scattering memories

The more I pulled away, the more I remembered

Your gentle eyes, melting away

Lend me, oh-oh-oh

Lend me your memories, oh-oh-oh

Lend me your memories, oh-oh-oh

Lend me your memories, then break them

That day we were side by side, praying it wouldn’t end

Watching tomorrow slip away with my earphones keeping us connected

Repeating the same wishes for the ending

The window reflecting us started to move

I believed in the silenced voices

Suddenly, snow began to fall

Melting on my cheeks, hiding my tears

My unsteady hand reaches out, touching the empty sky

The mournful sound of the wind

Still reflected in your silent eyes

Break apart even the scattering memories

The more I pulled away, the more I remembered

Your gentle eyes, melting away

Lend me, oh-oh-oh

Lend me your memories, oh-oh-oh

Lend me your memories, oh-oh-oh

Lend me your memories, then break them

Lend me, oh-oh-oh

Lend me your memories, oh-oh-oh

Lend me your memories, oh-oh-oh

Lend me your memories, then break them

Lend me, oh-oh-oh

Lend me your memories, oh-oh-oh

Lend me your memories, oh-oh-oh

Lend me your memories, then break them

[Japanese]

途切れ途切れの声

警笛が鳴り響く

ノイズの中 潜めた

言葉はもう知っていた

二人別つ窓が

閉ざされていく

千切れそうな糸を

眺めていた

よろけたまま伸ばした手は空を搔く

哀れむような風の音

黙り込んだ君の眼に映したまま

飛び散る 記憶も壊してよ

遠退くほど想い出した

柔らかな君の解けていく目

貸して oh-oh-oh

記憶を貸して oh-oh-oh

記憶を貸して oh-oh-oh

記憶を貸して 壊して

あの日は隣り合わせ 途切れないでと

繋ぎとめたイヤホンでまた明日を見送って

同じ結末願って繰り返してた

2人写す窓が走り出した

かき消えた声を信じてた

不意に降り始めた雪

頬で溶け 涙隠して

よろけたまま伸ばした手は空を搔く

哀れむような風の音

黙り込んだ君の眼に映したまま

飛び散る 記憶も壊してよ

遠退くほど想い出した

柔らかな君の解けていく目

貸して oh-oh-oh

記憶を貸して oh-oh-oh

記憶を貸して oh-oh-oh

記憶を貸して 壊して

貸して oh-oh-oh

記憶を貸して oh-oh-oh

記憶を貸して oh-oh-oh

記憶を貸して 壊して

貸して oh-oh-oh

記憶を貸して oh-oh-oh

記憶を貸して oh-oh-oh

記憶を貸して 壊して
