Lyrics

yami ga shizuka ni moeru
tsuki ga anata wo terasu
kitto konna omoi mo atta no ne to
mata kako to mitsumeau

nukeru iki wa yowaku
da ga ima da fukuramu kankaku
chiisana omomi wa sugu ni naku natte
shikatanai no kamo na

kizuiteta kedo ienakatta koto
watashi ni iikikaseta koto sae mo
ima wa me ni mienaku tomo
nibuku furikakatta

yasashii oto ga
yureru you ni
ishi wo tsunaide
hanasanaide yo
kitto chiri yuku seimei wo
anata to tomo ni owaritai no yo

demo yami ga shizuka ni sarau
omoi mo kyori mo tooku naru
mou koko de wa shinpai shinakute ii yo, to
omou koto sae kirei ni utsuru

noboru taiyou wa kitsuku
mata anata wo omoidasaseru
ikken odayaka na kioku de watashi no koto wo
shibari tsuzukeru no ne to
sagaru hazu no ondo wa kuyashisa wo toori, atsuku naru
mou watashi ga watashi no mama janakute ii to
kimeta kara hashiridashita no

kizukazu ni itte shimatte ita koto
watashi ni iikikasenakatta koto
ima wa me de oenaku tomo
nibuku furikakatta

anata no oto wa yureru you ni
watashi to karande hanasanaide yo
kitto chiri yuku seimei wo
anata to tomo ni owaritai no yo

demo yami ga shizuka ni sarau
omoi mo kyori mo tooku naru
mou anata no tonari ni irarenai ne, to
omou koto sae kirei ni utsuru

English Translation

The darkness burns quietly
The moon shines on you
“There must have been feelings like this,”
The past and I stare at each other again

Though breath leaks weakly,
The sense is still swelling
Maybe it’s only natural that
Small weight goes away quickly

Things I noticed but couldn’t say,
And even things you told me
I can’t see them now
But they’ve fallen dully on me

Like a gentle sound
Sways,
Tie the will and
Please don’t let it go
The end of my life that surely comes,
I want to share the moment with you

But the darkness quietly snatches it away
Distance gets greater, psychologically and physically
“You don’t have to be anxious here anymore,”
Even the feeling appears beautiful

The sunlight is intense and
It reminds me of you again
“With seemingly peaceful memories,
You keep me bound”
The temperature rises because of the frustration
Because I realized that I don’t have to remain as I am,
I started running

Things that I unconsciously said,
And things you didn’t tell me
I can’t follow them with my eyes
But they’ve fallen dully on me

Entwine me in your swaying sound
And please don’t let me go
The end of my life that surely comes,
I want to share the moment with you

But the darkness quietly snatches it away
Distance gets greater, psychologically and physically
“I can’t be next to you anymore,”
Even the feeling appears beautiful
