Lyrics:

sure chikai isokgu tabi ni
butsuke ai chigire au
tagai no hane no itami    kanji te iru

samishisa ni yogore ta   ude de daita
sore igai no nani ka wo   shiranai kara

tsunagaru shunkan
mezame ru eien    machi kogareru

haya sugiru toki no    matataki ni sara sare te
hitori de wa   todo ka nai
negai nante   kie sou na kotoba ja
tadori  tsukenai

jitto me o korashi temo   miushi natte shimau hoshi
dare no mono nimo naranai    hikari ga aru

kuchibiru  tashi kameru  inochi no hi ga
omoi tsumeta youni   mabushii kara

ai ga saki nanoka   kowasu noga saki ga  madowa sareru

karami au netsu no   tsutae tai shin jitsu wo
dare kara   mamore ba ii?
kimi ga itsuka    hoshi gatta omoi ga
soko ni aru nara…

haya sugiru toki no   matataki ni sara sare te
hitori de wa    todo ka nai
negai nante   kie sou na kotoba ja

karami au netsu no    tsutae tai shin jitsu wo
dare ka    mamore ba ii?
koko de itsuka   hoshi gatta omoi ga

kimi ni aru kara…

Translations:

We passed each other as we hurried along,
Agreeing it is cut off and scattered.
You feel the mutual pain of a feather.

Lonesome, you held on to the arm as it became dirty.
Because other than that, it’s unknown.

The eye connected to eternity
Waits and yearns before being instantly awoken.

Pass fast enough and show a bleached wink.
It can’t be reached alone.
The word of the request won’t go out.
It won’t arrive.

Motionlessly the others begin losing sight of the complete star.
The light can not belong to everyone.

Lips move as they verify life.
Thoughts are full, because they are so dazzling.

Bewildered love is breaking down ahead.

The truth intertwined in the heat can’t be conveyed.
Who would it protect?
You desire for thoughts of a star.
If it is even there…

Pass fast enough and show a bleached wink.
It can’t be reached alone.
The word of the request won’t go out.

The truth intertwined in the heat can’t be conveyed.
Who would it protect?
You desire for thoughts of a star.

Because there’s you
