Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

どのくらい歩いてきたんだろう

How far have we walked?

怯えて過ごす毎日だった

Every day was spent in fear

勘違い我儘一太刀

Misunderstandings and selfishness dealt a blow

僕らを引き裂いてた

Tearing us apart

散々眺めた夢の続きが

The continuation of the dream we’ve endlessly watched

そうさ

That’s right

傷跡に塩を塗り込んでく

We rub salt into our scars

だから僕は待って待って

So I wait, wait for you

未来を待って立って

Stand and wait for the future

ずっと生きてるって

Because I want to feel

感じてたかったから

That I’m alive all this time

だから君を待って待って

That’s why I wait, wait for you

未来は待って待って

The future is waiting for us

きっと巡り合った

Surely, we will meet again

僕らは奇跡なんだ

We are a miracle

どれだけ話せば分かってくれる？

How much do I have to say for you to understand?

Don't you think every time

Don’t you think every time

あの空を染めてけ

It dyes the sky above we’re under

プロミスザスター

Promise, the star

...

...

どれくらい立ち止まっただろう

How many times have I stopped?

怯えて過ごす毎日だった

Every day was spent in fear

迷っては戻る過去たちが

The past that hesitates and then turns back

僕らを追い越してく

It’s surpassing us

散々眺めた夢の続きが

The continuation of the dream we’ve endlessly watched

そうさ

That’s right

茜さす日々を照らしてく

Illuminating the days that burn bright crimson

変わらない思いを もっと

If only I could show

見せれたらいいな だって

More of these unchanging feelings

ずっとこれだけって

Because I’ve always believed

思ってきたんだから

That this is all there is

だから君を待って待って

That’s why I wait, wait for you

未来は待って待って

The future is waiting for us

絶対約束されたものなんかないんだ

There’s no such thing as something guaranteed

答えは神様だけが知ってる

The only one who knows the answer is God

Don't you think every time

Don’t you think every time

あの空を染めてけ

It dyes the sky above we’re under

...

...

ふと気づけばすぐそばに僕と

Suddenly realizing, right beside me,

最高が誓いを満たすまで

Until the best fulfills its promise

だから僕は待って待って

That’s why I wait, wait for you

未来を待って立って

Stand and wait for the future

ずっと生きてるって

Because I want to feel

感じてたかったから

That I’ve been alive all this time

だから君を待って待って

That’s why I wait, wait for you

未来は待って待って

The future is waiting for us

きっと巡り合った

Surely, we will meet again

僕らは奇跡なんだ

We are a miracle

どれだけ話せば分かってくれる？

How much do I have to say for you to understand?

Don't you think every time

Don’t you think every time

瞳閉じて

Closing my eyes

Don't you think every time

Don’t you think every time

あの空を染めてけ

It dyes the sky above we’re under

プロミスザスター

Promise, the star
