太陽がのまれてく

The sun is swallowing me up

夜がときどき　強がり

And sometimes, the night is just bravado

晴れた日は　月灯かり

On clear days, there’s moonlight

自分の逃げ道を知ってる

I know my own escape route

反省は毎日で

Reflection happens every day

悔やまれることが多すぎて

There are so many things I regret

青春が消えてゆく

Youth is slipping away

でも情熱はいつまでつづくの

But how long will my passion last?

少しくらいは　きっと役にはたってる

Maybe, just a little, it’s surely helping me

でもときどき　自分の生きがいが消えてく

But sometimes, I feel my purpose in life vanishing

泣いてたり　吠えてたり　かみついたりして

I cry, I bark, I bite

そんなんばかりが　女じゃない

Not only that—women aren't only that

鏡に映った　あなたと2人

Looking at myself in the mirror, just the two of us

情けないようで　たくましくもある

Feeling both pathetic and strong

顔と顔寄せ合い　なぐさめあったらそれぞれ

When we press our faces together and comfort each other, each in their own way

玄関のドアを　1人で開けよう

I want to open the front door alone

There's no place

There's no place

We sought love in hopes

Face to Face

Face to Face

Feel the space

Feeling the space

Under the dazzling moonlight

Need your caress

I need your caress

時間も言葉も無駄にして

Wasting time and words

通り過ぎていたね

Passing right by

Just your hand

Just your hand

I wanted you to notice me first

Take a Deep Breath

Take a deep breath

深い愛はどこにむかって

Where is this deep love headed?

In these daily lives, there's no way to really explode

経験が邪魔をする

Experience gets in the way

ほらあの人の横顔　抱きしめて

Look at that person's profile, hold them close

バス停で　おしゃべりしている学生

Students chatting at the bus stop

明日の事は考えて　もちろんいるけど

Thinking about tomorrow, of course

切実さは　比べようもない程明るい

But their earnestness shines brighter than anything

I can't jump into that person's heart right away

In your Soul

In your soul
