ねえ お願いこの手を牽き寄せ

Hey, please, take my hand and pull me closer

幸せの向こう側まで連れてってよ

Take me to the other side of happiness

このまま人波に溺れそうだわ

I feel like I'm about to drown in the crowd

硝子窓に滲むあなた尻目に

Your reflection is seeping through the glass window

有り触れた夜に飲まれてくわたし

I'm being consumed by the nights we've spent together

お守りにしていた頼りない運命を

When I lost the unreliable fate I was relying on

失くした時に何に縋ればいい

What can I cling to?

張り裂けそうな時亡くした言葉を

At times when I feel like I'm about to tear apart, the words I lost

何時だってあなたは探し出してくれた

You always found them for me, no matter when

心の軋む音を奏でて

Playing the sound of my heart creaking

乾いた痛みの数を数えて 僕等は

Counting the number of dry pains, we're

大人に成ってゆくものよ

Growing up to be adults

だから泣かないでくれよハニー (ハニー ハニー)

So please don't cry, honey (honey, honey)

ねえ お願い高速(ハイウェイ)を飛ばして

Hey, please, speed down the highway

悲しみの向こう側まで連れてってよ (連れてってよ)

Take me to the other side of sorrow (take me there)

今日だけは総てに糸目は付けないの (付けないの)

Your reflection in the glass window is me

他人事では居られないあなたはわたし

You're me, and I couldn't help but be involved

誰かが決めた宿命や

In the fate decided by someone else

変えられない運命の中で

In the unchangeable destiny

生き抜く意味を探し続けたい

I want to keep searching for the meaning of living

弱さは負けじゃない

Weakness isn't defeat

壊れたら直せばいいよ

If it breaks, I can fix it

誰もが一悪を以って歪さ笑って

Everyone laughs at the imperfections

You're me, and

どこまでもちがって

You're different, no matter where

いびつそのままで

You're imperfect, just like that

ねえ お願いこの手を牽き寄せ

Hey, please, take my hand and pull me closer

Take me to a street no one knows

群像劇が孕むミステリーを愛したい

I want to love the mystery born from the group drama

独りでは成り立たない

I couldn't stand alone

煩わしき愛おしきこの世界

This world, full of annoying yet lovely things

Hey, please, speed down the highway
