[English]

Star struck!

Get out sluggish world

I tried asking

What will become of the stars

Returning memories

Burned into my heart

No matter how many times I've counted

They won't fade from my memory

More than I imagined, I'm confused

In the night sky that has passed

The words we exchanged

I remember the song from that day

Break'n begin my days

If we could run through time like this

The tears that flow become words

Resonating in this world

Always carrying someone's wish, beyond the night

Conveying and playing

Tonight, for the first time, I respond

Run away with me

So burn out but just go louder Wah!

Dance in stream, if it's the furthest dream, don't hold back your tears

Another someone lonely still be tied up, it won't end... so

Break down destroy sudden-scape

She says, 'disappear'

If you realize, there's no rescue

It's a warm feeling, but it's a crazy story

Be bold and keep moving, on the run

Suddenly resonating, well, I don't like it, but it's already

Too many gags

True way or junk! Junk! Junk!

Doubt

If we could connect softly in the shadow of time

The words we held sparkled

Questioning this world

Always meeting someone, keeping it in my heart

Fulfilling my feelings, deliver them tonight just like this

We'd all believe with your belief

Softly, before forgetting

Searching for love, now light it up

The final dream

I want to be by your side until it burns

Let me see, let me see

Let me reach for you

If it's the two of us, stay with you

(Get to the genuine world)

It's true, flowing away

...

Tracing the universe I looked up at

Calling out the name of the star I found

While holding it close

I chose this story

That's how I remember

If we could meet in the flow of time

Standing here with you

Stop this world now

Always envisioning the final days

Entrusting it to a song

In any next life, just the two of us

Let me stay like this tonight

...

Whenever you look at the night sky

We all come to think of beautiful starlight

And you feel that we got the truth

Deep in time and space

...

[Japanese]

Star struck!

Get out sluggish world

問いかけてみた

星の行く末は

記憶帰す

この胸に灼きつく

もう何百回 数えたって

ぼくの記憶から 消えなくて

想像以上 戸惑ってる

明け暮れた夜空で

交わした言葉と

思い出す あの日の歌

Break'n begin my days

そうやってぼくらがもしも時を駈けて

つたう涙 言葉になって

この世界に 響かせる

いつだって誰かの願い 夜を越えて

伝え 奏でて

今夜はじめて 応えて

Run away with me

So burn out but Just go louder Wah!

Dance in stream, the furthest dream ならば 涙とどめて見ないで

Another someone lonely still be tied up 終わんない... だから

Break down destroy sudden-scape

She says 消滅

悟れば No rescue

座禅狂言 暖味なんだけど

破天荒で ススメよ 逃走中

俄然共鳴 まーいっか 嫌だけど もう

Too many gags

True way or Junk! Junk! Junk!

Doubt

ぼくらがもしも時の影で

そっと繋いだ 言葉 光って

この世界に 問いかける

いつだって誰かと出会い 胸に秘めて

想い叶えて 今夜このまま届けて

We'd all believe with your belief

そっと 忘れる前に

愛を探して さぁ灯せよ

最後の夢

灼きつくまで 側にいたくて

Let me see, Let me see

Let me reach for you

二人なら Stay with you

(Get to the genuine world)

It's true 流れてく

見上げた宇宙をなぞって

見つけた星の名を呼んで

抱きしめながら

この物語を選んだ

そうやって 思い出して

ぼくらが もしも 時の中で

出会いあなたと ここに立って

この世界を 今止めて

いつだって 最後の日々 思い描いて

歌に託して

どんな来世でも 二人で

今夜このまま 居させて

Whenever you look at the night sky

We all come to think of beautiful starlight

And you feel that we got the truth

Deep in time and space
