Romanized Lyrics

Jikan ga nai koko wa inochi no mabataki no naka da
Kasanattara hanarete shimau
Aa tsutaenakute wa nani wo dattakke
Sore ja omoidasou kyou bokura de

Kore dake taisetsu na no ni
Dou yareba chanto tadashiku taisetsu ni dekiru
Aa ichido dake de ii hontou no hontou ga mitai yo
Minna shabon dama mabataki no naka

Watasenai itami no umareta basho
Soko ni irun daro kikoete shimatta
Hibiwarenagara azayaka na mama no
Myakuutsu kioku de tsukurareta hajimari no koe

Saa yatto mitsuketa
Koko made kita mou sawareru yo
Atsumete shimatte oita yuuki no zenbu de
Kimi no ikiru sono mae ni iru

Arayuru tane mo shikake mo tsukaihatashita ato no
Akirame wo yurusanai noroi
Aa totemo tsuyoku nagai aida nigitteita
Negaigoto sekai wo kureta mahou

Kawakanai ame wo hakuchuu no yoru wo
Zutto tsuretekita n daro soushite deaeta
Imada karada wa iki wo suru itami ni chi wo meguraseru
Sono imi wo shiritagaru you ni

Yobiau ima
Kodou no kotaeawase ga dekiru
Nani wo torikaeshitai no hitori ja nai ze
Boku mo ikiru sono tame no yoru

Kotoba wa genkai wo koete kudaketa
Moumaku wa kimi wo tashika ni toraeru
Omoidasou arigatou
Kitto kono toki wo matteita

Saa yatto mitsuketa
Koko made kita mou sawareru yo
Kizutsuketa to shite mo yuuki no zenbu de
Kimi to ikiru

Yobiau ima
Kodou no kotaeawase ga dekiru
Nani wo torikaeshitai no hitori ja nai ze
Boku mo ikiru kimi to ikiru sono tame ni iru

English Lyrics

There’s no time; we’re here, within life's fleeting blink
The moment we connect, we are torn apart
Ah, I have to tell you... what was it again?
So let’s remember now, together, you and I

Even though this is all so precious
How can I cherish it the way that it deserves?
Ah, just for once, I want to see what is truly real
We're all just soap bubbles, here in the blink of an eye

The birthplace of a pain I cannot share
You’re there, aren't you? Your voice broke through
Cracked, yet still so vividly it remains
The first voice, born from pulsing memories

Now... I’ve finally found you
I’ve come this far, I’m close enough to touch
With every last bit of courage I saved up
I’m standing right here, before your very life

After every last trick and deception has been used
There’s a curse that won't allow me to give up
Ah, I held on to it so tightly for so long
A wish... the magic that gave me a world

The rain that never dries, the night in broad daylight
You've been carrying them all along, haven't you? That's how we met
Still, my body breathes, sending blood coursing through the pain
As if desperate to understand what it all means

Calling to each other now
Our heartbeats can find their answer
What is it you want to reclaim? You are not alone!
I'll keep on living... that’s what this darkness is for

Words shattered, breaking past their limits
But my eyes hold your image, perfectly clear
Let's remember to say, "Thank you"
I know I was waiting for this moment

Now... I’ve finally found you
I’ve come this far, I’m close enough to touch
Even if I end up hurting you, with all the courage I have
I will live with you

Calling to each other now
Our heartbeats can find their answer
What is it you want to reclaim? You are not alone!
I’ll live, too. To live with you... that is why I am here

Japanese Lyrics

時間がない ここは命の瞬きの中だ
重なったら離れてしまう
ああ 伝えなくては 何をだったっけ
それじゃ思い出そう 今日 僕らで

これだけ大切なのに
どうやれば ちゃんと正しく大切にできる
ああ 一度だけでいい 本当の本当が見たいよ
みんなシャボン玉 瞬きの中

渡せない痛みの生まれた場所
そこにいるんだろ 聴こえてしまった
ひび割れながら鮮やかなままの
脈打つ記憶で作られた 始まりの声

さあ やっと見つけた
ここまで来た もう触れるよ
集めて しまっておいた 勇気の全部で
君の生きる その前にいる

あらゆる種も仕掛けも 使い果たした後の
諦めを許さない呪い
ああ とても強く 長い間握っていた
願い事 世界をくれた魔法

乾かない雨を 白昼の夜を
ずっと連れてきたんだろ そうして出会えた
未だ身体は息をする 痛みに血を巡らせる
その意味を知りたがるように

呼び合う今
鼓動の答え合わせができる
何を取り返したいの 一人じゃないぜ
僕も生きる そのための夜

言葉は限界を超えて砕けた
網膜は君を確かに捉える
思い出そう ありがとう
きっとこの時を待っていた

さあ やっと見つけた
ここまで来た もう触れるよ
傷付けたとしても 勇気の全部で
君と生きる

呼び合う今
鼓動の答え合わせができる
何を取り返したいの 一人じゃないぜ
僕も生きる 君と生きる そのためにいる
