Japanese lyrics[]

ありふれた日々の出来事に目を向ければ
まだまだ興味が尽きることはない
でも知らず知らずの間に視野狭めて
白も黒もカテゴライズされていたかもね

息をきらし走れるのは永遠に続くものじゃないから
過去でもなく未来でもない現在という瞬間を駆け抜けて^{[n 1]}

We got to the place for this time 誰も邪魔できないような
Don't let me go to the past time 輝く居場所捜したい
願いは現実に変える努力怠らずに
信じあえるあなたと叶えたならevolution

いつだってその夢を守れる人ばかりじゃない
それでもその愛を頼りにして生きるから
傷ついて進めない日々が訪れたとしても
きっと一人じゃない真実のrelation

穏やかな気持ちや何かを求める衝動
誰かに諦めてまた期待して
すべては波のように満ちたり引いたりで
同じ形見せずに変化し続ける

いつから笑顔に隠れて自分を守ることを覚えたの
どんな瞬間も必ず過ぎてその先は決まってないから^{[n 1]}

We got to the place for this time 胸に描く明日の景色
Don't let me go to the past time もっと近くで感じたい
光に届く道今はまだその途中でも
愛を失わずに進めたならevolution

突然の悲しみを運ぶ風が吹き荒れても
心を繋いでるその絆確かめて
迷いも喜びも委ねられるあなたとなら
きっと辿り着ける永遠のrelation

We got to the place for this time 誰も邪魔できないような
Don't let me go to the past time 輝く居場所捜したい
願いは現実に変える努力怠らずに
信じあえるあなたと叶えたならevolution

いつだってその夢を守れる人ばかりじゃない
それでもその愛を頼りにして生きるから
傷ついて進めない日々が訪れたとしても
きっと一人じゃない真実のrelation

English translation[]

If you pay attention to every days' ordinary events,
your interest still won't expire.
However, you may had gotten narrow-minded unconsciously,
categorizing both white and black.

Since you can't keep on running forever if you run out of breath,
don't run through the past or future, but the present.

We got to the place for this time. So that no one can interfere.
Don't let me go to the past time. I want to search for a shining place.
My wish is actually the effort to change without shirking.
If we can believe each other, if it is fulfilled - evolution.

There are always people who will defend their dreams, right?
Yet, I can live only because I rely on my love
Even if there days when you are hurt and can't go on,
you are surely not alone. True relation.

Calm feelings, the impulse of finding something,
giving up on someone and still expecting from him,
everything is like a wave, filled or pulled,
without showing the same form, it keeps on changing.

Since when did I hide behind my smile? I remember my defending myself.
Whatever the moment, it will pass, the time ahead is not already decided

We got to the place for this time. The scenery of tomorrow is drawn inside my chest.
Don't let me go to the past time. I want to feel you closer.
Even if I am still on the road that reaches light,
without losing love, if I can go on - evolution.

Even if the wing that carries sadness suddenly blows,
Confirm the bond that is tied to your heart
If I'm with you, to whom I entrusted happiness and hesitation,
then we can surely overcome everything in the end - Eternal relation.

We got to the place for this time. So that no one can interfere.
Don't let me go to the past time. I want to search for a shining place.
My wish is actually the effort to change without shirking.
If we can believe each other, if it is fulfilled - evolution.

There are always people who will defend their dreams, right?
Yet, I can live only because I rely on my love
Even if there days when you are hurt and can't go on,
you are surely not alone. True relation.
