Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

笑えない日々を辿ったって

Even if I trace back through days I couldn't smile

変わらない今を呪ったって

Or curse this unchanged present

宙に舞った言葉じゃ

Words that floated in the air

あなたを救えないのだろう

Probably can't save you

届かないままの景色と

Scenes that remain out of reach

温まることない痛みと

Pain that never warms up

肩を寄せ合って歩いていた

Walking close together

遠いところに行けるように

Hoping we can go somewhere far away

あなたの言う希望だとか

If your hope, or ideals like dreams,

夢に似た理想ならば

Even if they're cold as ice

どんなに冷たくたって

I'll try to love them

愛してみせるよ

Even if I follow days I can't smile through

笑えない日々を辿ったって

Or curse this unchanging now

変わらない今を呪ったって

Words that floated in the air

宙に舞った言葉じゃ

Probably can't save you

あなたを救えないのだろう

Even if I shout with a powerless voice

不甲斐ない声で叫んだって

Night turns into something passionate

熱を持つ夜に変わっていく

Even if my hands let go

この手が離れても

So I can walk again

また歩いて行けるように

Words that can't be shared

分かち合うことない言葉が

Increase each time I suddenly realize

ふと気付く度に増えていた

Facing now and changing

今と向き合って変わっていく

I want you to see that 모습

その姿を見ていて欲しい

The future you talk about

あなたの言う未来は

Is just beyond these hands

ただ、この手に収まらなくて

No matter how much I try to patch up

どんなに繕ったって

Deep behind that smile

その笑みの奥を

You might doubt it

疑ってしまうだろう

Beyond endless days

終わらない日々の向こうだって

And fears I can't save from

救えないくらいの憂だって

The more these fingers struggle

この指がもがくほど

The more they blur into the distance

遠く滲んでしまうのだろう

Colors of feelings I can't touch

触れない思いの色なんて

I thought I didn't want to know

知りたくはないと思っていた

Even if you're not here

あなたが居なくても

I want to keep dreaming

夢を見ていたいのに

If an ill-fated curse shaped like an obstacle

象ったような不幸があなたを襲うなら

Attacks you

この手の平で触れていたいな

I want to touch it with my palm

繕って吐いた言葉が

Words I fabricated and spat out

誰かを呪うなら

If you curse someone else

口をつぐんでさ

Just stay silent

笑えない日々を巡ったって

Even if I go through days I can't smile

変わらない今を呪ったって

Or curse this unchanged present

宙に舞った言葉じゃ

Words that floated in the air

あなたを救えないのだろう

Probably can't save you

不甲斐ない声で叫んだって

Even if I shout with a powerless voice

熱を持つ夜に変わっていく

Night turns into something passionate

この手が離れても

Even if my hands let go

また歩いて行けるように

So I can walk again

さよならは言わずに

Without saying goodbye

何処かでまた会えるように

So we can meet somewhere again
