Lyrics

ikuseisou kitai mo nai you na furi wo shita
hazukashige ni demo wakatteru
to iu dakedo

soukyokusen majiwaranai de ita
nanimo wakaranu mama mogutte wa fukaku
iki mo suenai de

madoromu shiranda hikari ga boku wo yonda
te wo nobashite kureru nara

aa kokoro wa mada kotaerarenai mama
fukai umi naide wa risou egaita ima
tada itai hodo negatte wasure wa shinai kara

aa kono mama tachidomatte shimattara
namida no aji de sae shiranai mama datta na
kimi to waratte

kuusoujou no sekai wo oyoide mitai
tasogare no hi ni wa omoide ga
nagareochita

shoukyokuteki kibou no nai you na kuchiburi de
asu wo miageru sora komatta na
mirai ni sugaru koto sae mo

mimagau kurai no kirameku koe ga nozoita
kizu darake no yume dakedo

kodou wa hayaku zawameiteita
shinkai no hate ni naru oto ga
tashika ni ikita kimi to no akashi nara
kitto sagashiteita koboresou na yobu koe ga
ima iku to

aa kokoro wa mada kotaerarenai mama
fukai umi naide wa risou egaita ima
tada itai hodo negatte wasure wa shinai kara

aa kono mama tachidomatte shimattara
namida no aji de sae shiranai mama datta na
kimi to waratte

English Translation

I’ve gone an eternity pretending to have no expectations
It’s embarrassing, but I get it, I get it
I get it – is what I say, but

Hyperbola don’t cross each other
Knowing nothing. I dive deep, deep
Without taking a single breath

A dormant ray of white light comes calling
“if you can reach out to me…”

Ah, my heart just isn’t enough
In the calm deep, I imagine my ideal “now”
I want it so bad it hurts, III never forget this
Ah, when I stop and stand still like this, I realise
I never really knew the taste of tears
When I laughed with you.

I want to try swimming through an imaginary world
The twilight sun makes all the memories. memories, memories
Start flooding back

Under a sky that looks to tomorrow, sounding hopeless and void
I said “this isn’t good this isn’t good”
I’d lost all hope for the future

A bright voice peeks through the darkness
This dream of mine may be covered in wounds, but still

My pulse picks up my heart alight
Resounding through my heart’s ocean
If this sound is proof of our time together
This has to be what I’ve been looking for
A desperate voice calls out
“I’m coming now”

Ah, my heart just isn’t enough
In the calm deep, I imagine my ideal “now”
I want it so bad it hurts, III never forget this
Ah, when I stop and stand still like this, I realise
I never really knew the taste of tears
When I laughed with you.
