That day, we met in the darkness. Look – before it grows light.
My heart beats fast for some reason in anticipation of a new journey. I’ll lose my way. What do I want?
I feel a glass-like fever together with an unreliable eternity
And I feel like I’ll shatter if someone touches me.
But I’m ready. The clouds clear over my long journey
The moon is round, as if it’s guiding the two of us somewhere
But the idea of it guiding ‘us’ will seem cruel to me. A painful trap lies beneath hope.
I was unaware that the clamour around me had grown silent. Only two hearts beat.
Your breath turns to vapour and fades away. How lonesome.
A dream journey. Innocent smiles pierce my jealousy.
(I wonder if staying the same forever is true happiness?)
Betraying yourself by yourself is such a simple spell
But I can’t be content with weakness, at least not tonight.
“Hey.” The moment you looked back
Seemed like eternity. I felt that the night ended.
Here’s why I can’t start walking: The worlds will separate and vanish.
I can’t look away for a moment. I loved you, but why, why?
Here’s why I keep singing: I don’t feel like I can get used to a new atmosphere.
It’s all because of you.
Without saying anything, why, why…?
I take a deep breath.
The slightest effort makes me nervous.
It’s coming, for sure.
There’s no way they could have ignored my message! I yearn and the days I imagine come to an end.
What should I do?
If a message came, my eyes would dart this way and that
And I’d ask a stupid question: “What did you eat yesterday?”
The night bugs sing beautifully, as if drawing closer to the core.
My heart beats so fast it’s like I’m gonna die!
I wonder why…
My feelings squeeze my heart so tight it could break.
They, along with my warm and tender feelings,
Are just things that you, who stand before me now, gave me.
I don’t want to get rid of them. I don’t want to hide them.
But I don’t want to worry you, either…
Here’s why I can’t start walking: The worlds will separate and vanish.
I can’t look away for a moment. I loved you, but why, why?
Here’s why I keep singing: I don’t feel like I can get used to a new atmosphere.
It’s all because of you.
Without saying anything, why, why? Dawn breaks.
Hey, why, why?
Endless nights, endless rain,
And endless dreams are all similar.
Time comes to a stop, changing everything.
This story’s about the clock’s hands advancing…
Here’s why I can’t smile properly: I get all insecure thinking about whether it’s okay to be next to you.
I can’t look away for a moment. I’ll start crying. Why, why?
Here’s why I keep singing: I want to hold my feelings from back then close to me
And yet, it’s all because of you.
It’s all because of you. Why, why?
Hey, why, why?
Dawn breaks as if repainting the world.
