TranslationKanji

It slowly crept up towards me
(The moment of the end)
Even as I denied its presence
(Can't resist anymore)
We were not allowed to have a fleeting dream
We can't run away anymore (Countdown)
Entangled and trapped by illusions
(Endless regret goes on)
That will plunge us into despair
(I'm falling deep inside)

The hand I extend cannot reach you
As much as I scream I can't put it into words
(Somewhere from far away)
Hey...
(I thought I heard your voice)
one day...(I can feel it in my heart)
(Overlapping each other)
Ah... (I can feel it in my heart)
maybe... (Overlapping each other)
if I could go back
I'd never let go of your hand again

The words that were cut mid-way dissipate as they are
Whether I try to catch up, whether I chase after them
A tomorrow without you approaches anyway
And so I'll be left to wander without an answer

At least the miracle I grasp within my hand
Even if it's damaged, even if it's one day lost
Within this song of mine its breath will go on forever
and it will live on

I'm gently smiling in silence
(Inside the memories)
But kindness hurts just as much
(Can't face it properly)
The memory causes me to choke
I'll never manage to swallow it
or spit it out

We can only wish that tomorrow would come again
(Too many excuses)
Procrastinating and repeating
(But time won't wait for me)
It was promised to everyone
But the dawn will never arrive
(SOMEWHERE FROM FAR AWAY)
Now...
(I THOUGHT I HEARD YOUR VOICE)
beside you...(I CAN FEEL IT IN MY HEART)
(OVERLAPPING EACH OTHER)
Ah... (I CAN FEEL IT IN MY HEART)
maybe.. (OVERLAPPING EACH OTHER)
if you were here with me
I'll say those words as many times as you want

The words you spoke are etched into my heart
Whether I burn up, whether I fade away
I look up to the sky hoping to answer my prayers
As the sun shines on a tomorrow far away

The meaning of the miracle that I hold in my hand
Even if the moon hides it from me
By keeping this song in my heart, I'll become stronger
And step forward once more

If it's ever forgotten
It'll be lost forever
But there is a melody
That won't ever fade... an eternal form

The words that were cut mid-way dissipate as they are
Whether I try to catch up, whether I chase after them
A tomorrow without you approaches anyway
And so I'll be left to wander without an answer

At least the miracle I grasp within my hand
Even if it's damaged, even if it's one day lost
Within this song of mine its breath will go on forever
and it will live on

I feel you in my song
Forever

I feel you in my song
Forever...

確かに近づいてた The moment of the end
見ないふりをしてても Can't resist anymore
仮初めの夢許されずに
逃げられない　もうカウントダウン

絡みつく幻影(まぼろし)が Endless regret goes on
哀しみに誘うから I'm falling deep inside
伸ばした手届かなくて
叫んでも　癒えない

ねぇ、あの日に
あぁ　もし
戻れるなら
君の手を離さない
(SOMEWHERE FROM FAR AWAY)
(I THOUGHT I HEARD YOUR VOICE)
(I CAN FEEL IT IN MY HEART)
(OVERLAPPING EACH OTHER)
(I CAN FEEL IT IN MY HEART)
(OVERLAPPING EACH OTHER)

途切れたまま滲む言葉
追いかけても　問いかけても
君がいないまま明日は来る
答えもなく彷徨うけど

握りしめた奇蹟だけは
傷ついても　失くしても
この歌のなかに
息づいてる
生き続ける

静かに微笑んでる Inside the memories
優しさが痛むから Can't face it properly
喉の奥　締めつける想い
飲み込めない　でも吐き出せない

「また明日が来る」なんて Too many excuses
先延ばし繰り返し But time won't wait for me
誰にも約束された
明日なんてないのに

いま、となりに
あぁ　もし
君がいれば
何度でも言えるのに
(SOMEWHERE FROM FAR AWAY)
(I THOUGHT I HEARD YOUR VOICE)
(I CAN FEEL IT IN MY HEART)
(OVERLAPPING EACH OTHER)
(I CAN FEEL IT IN MY HEART)
(OVERLAPPING EACH OTHER)

刻まれてる君の言葉
燃え尽きても　散り果てても
祈り辿るように見上げた空
遠い未来照らしている

手繰り寄せた奇蹟の意味
翳る月が隠しても
この歌を胸に
強くなれる
歩き出せる

忘れられたなら
楽になれるの？
でも　あのメロディ
消えない　足跡

途切れたまま滲む言葉
追いかけても　問いかけても
君がいないまま明日は来る
答えもなく彷徨うけど

握りしめた奇蹟だけは
傷ついても　失くしても
この歌のなかに
息づいてる
生き続ける

I feel you in my song
Forever...
