Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

有り得ないところまで

To impossible places

心が　動き出す

My heart starts to move

何気ない言葉すら

Even casual words

ひとつひとつ　この胸を奪っていく

Take away this heart, one by one

汚れた靴　磨いても

Even if I polish my dirty shoes

またすぐにどうせ　泥だらけになんだ

They'll just get muddy again, anyway

無駄なことで　疲れるくらいなら

If wasting energy on nothing is exhausting

いっそほら　さっさとさ

Then maybe, just leave it be

そんなもの仕舞っておこう

Let's just put that stuff away

わかってはいるよ

I understand it

きっと逃げてるだけだと

I'm sure I'm just逃げてるだけだと

あなたに“わたし”は　見せたくない

I don’t want you to see ‘me’

有り得ないところまで

To impossible places

心が　動き出す

My heart begins to move

何気ない言葉すら

Even casual words

ひとつひとつ　この胸を奪っていく

Take away this heart, one by one

その意味は？　その価値は？

What does it mean? What is its value?

答えようのない問いだけど

They are questions I can't answer

それなのになぜ　それなのになぜ

But still, why? Why is that?

何かを見つけたような　気持ちでいる

Feeling like I’ve found something

わかってはいるよ

I know it deep down

きっと素敵なことだと

That it's probably something wonderful

それでも“わたし”が　追い付かない

Even so, ‘me’ can’t keep up

有り得ないところまで

To impossible places

心が　動き出す

My heart starts to move

何気ない言葉すら

Even casual words

ひとつひとつ　この胸を奪っていく

Take away this heart, one by one

“わたし”を　奪っていく

Taking away ‘me’
