Lyrics & Translation
Clings to these days
With dullened steps
Climbing a mountain with no end in sight
The longing love I felt
Waking up from a dream, then dreaming again
As if capturing everything so far
Spinning inside my mind
I understand that tomorrow will come
And I know yesterday won’t return
If only I could start over
If I could be now because of something I discarded
Don’t say 'Once More'
I won’t ask for such selfishness though
Still, somewhere deep down, I’m seeking something
The immortal rock star
The eternal king
How would they have lived tomorrow?
The wounded sky
Stings intensely today
With dullened steps
Tracing the riverbank with tired feet
I understand that tears will fall
And I know my feelings won’t come back
If so, I’d rather give up
If only I could change now with what’s left
Once More?
I won't ask for such selfishness though
Still, somewhere deep inside, I wish for something
The legendary pro boxer
That mysterious guy
I wonder how he faced tomorrow—ah
Leaving it to the wind
Close your eyes and dance
Look up at the sweet cocktail-colored sky
I hear that voice
Even if I gather what I discarded
I know I’ll never go back again, though
It’s clear to me
If only I could change now with what’s left
Once More?
I won’t ask for such selfishness though
Still, somewhere deep down, I seek something
The immortal rock star
The eternal king
How would he have faced tomorrow?
The legendary pro boxer
That mysterious guy
How did he get through tomorrow?
Thank you
