Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

振り返る暇もないまま

No time to look back

ひたすら走り続けて来たみたい

I just keep rushing forward

前ばかり見ていたから

Because I was only looking ahead

少し狭くなった視野に

In my slightly narrowed view

入り込んできたあのメロディー

That melody started creeping in

弱酸性の恋だって 進めなかった道だって

Even a love that's weakly acidic, the roads I couldn't move forward on

何十回のtry & error

Tens of tries and errors

いつのまにか染み込んでいた

Before I knew it, it had seeped in

今しかできないsoundに

To the sound I can only do now

ちょっとだけのっけたirony

A little bit of irony I added

メビウスの輪みたいに

Like a Möbius strip

あなたの元へ届くの

It reaches you

まだまだ足りないthrough the night

Still, it's not enough—through the night

やまない雨はないんじゃない

There’s no such thing as unending rain, right?

明日になればきっと

Tomorrow, surely

明後日の風が吹いてる気がするんだ

The wind of the day after tomorrow feels like it's blowing

繰り返す夏のまんなか

In the middle of another summer repeating again

いつかのパレットみたい 燻む空

Like a palette from sometime, a smoky sky

午後にはやむはずだった

It was supposed to clear by the afternoon

お気に入りの靴はやめた

I stopped wearing my favorite shoes

予報なんて当てにならない

Weather forecasts are unreliable

弱酸性の恋だって 進めなかった道だって

Even a love that's weakly acidic, the roads I couldn't move forward on

何十回のtry & error

Tens of tries and errors

いつのまにか染み込んでいた

Before I knew it, it had seeped in

想いが溢れて こぼれそうになっても

Even when feelings overflow and threaten to spill over

いつかの理想だって嘘みたいに思えても

Or when my ideal from someday seems like a lie

そんな足跡の先にある未来は

The future beyond those footsteps

私が色を塗った世界でひとつのSTORY

Is a story in a world I colored myself

今しかできないsoundに

To the sound I can only do now

ちょっとだけのっけたirony

A little bit of irony I added

メビウスの輪みたいに

Like a Möbius strip

あなたの元へ届くの

It reaches you

まだまだ見てない景色を

To the scenery I haven't seen yet

今なら行ける世界を

The world I can go to now

これからだってずっと探し続けてく

From now on, I'll keep searching forever

この青い空の下

Under this blue sky
