[English]

We were wrapped in a gentle light

Even those pale, fleeting days

The scenery we shared

Is just blurring and fading away

I know baby girl we just talking

But it doesn't change anything

Searching too hard for meaning

These selfish droplets that won't stop falling

As your back drifted further away

I couldn't even hold an umbrella for you

Rain on me, at the very end

Without saying a word (Baby)

You just kept your head down

Rain on me, I know for sure

That we were smiling back then

Now we gotta keep our distance

It's too late now

We can't go back

We know there is no tomorrow, uh

It's getting closer, it's time to say goodbye

On this slightly chilly morning

I know baby girl we just chasing

But it doesn't change anything

I asked too much of you

From someone like me, who selfishly drags you along

As your back drifted further away

I turned my back too

Rain on me, at the very end

Without saying a word (Baby)

You just kept your head down

Rain on me, I know for sure

That we were smiling back then

Now we gotta keep our distance

[Japanese]

優しい光に包まれていた

淡い日々も

2人の景色は

ただ滲んで消えゆく

I know baby girl we just talking

But it doesn't change anything

意味を求めすぎて

身勝手に降り止まない雫

遠のいてく背中に

傘をさせずいた

Rain on me 最後に

何も言わずに (Baby)

君は俯いたまま

Rain on me 確かに

笑っていたあの日

Now we gotta keep our distance

今更さ

戻れない

We know there is no tomorrow, uh

近づくIt's time to say good bye

少しだけ冷えた朝

I know baby girl we just chasing

But it doesn't change anything

キミに求めすぎて

身勝手に振り回す僕から

遠のいてく背中に

僕も背を向けた

Rain on me 最後に

何も言わずに (Baby)

君は俯いたまま

Rain on me 確かに

笑っていたあの日

Now we gotta keep our distance
