Romanized Lyrics

Taimu mashin ni notte chikutaku chikutaku
Kimi to ita kioku wo keshisaru tame ni
Konna ni kurushii naka kimi ni deau mae wo
Subete nakatta koto ni

Boku wa jibun ga ichiban suki datta
Hoka no dare yori kimi ni au made wa
Jibun yori taisetsu na kimi wo ushinai
Boku no sekai kara ichiban ga nakunatta

Soshite sore wa maru de nemuke no you ni boku wo mushibande ku
Shiawase datta to omou tabi ni
Namida ga afure dashite kurun da
Ima demo

Taimu mashin ni notte chikutaku chikutaku
Kimi to ita kioku wo keshisaru tame ni
Konna ni kurushii naka kimi ni deau mae wo
Subete nakatta koto ni

Kimi to deaete honto ni yokatta
To ieru hi nante kuru no darou ka
Datte san nen mae no ano hi kara boku wa
Nan ni mo susundenai ki ga surun da yo

Itsumo kimi to michi wo aruite iru to michibata no hana mo
Shinshu no daihakken no you datta
Konna arifureta hana no kuse ni
Ima de wa

Taimu mashin ni notte chikutaku chikutaku
Kimi to deatta jikan ni tadori tsuita
Konna ni kurushii kedo kimi ni deawanakereba
Boku ga boku ja naku naru

Kimi to deatta shunkan no boku wa
Sonna kao shiteta no ka miterarenai
Yappari tomerarenai kimi to no deai wa
Demo kore de yokattan da

Taimu mashin ni notte chikutaku chikutaku
Kimi no inai jikan e to kaette yuku
Mae mo mirenai kedo ue mo mukenai kedo
Boku wo mitsumete yukou

English Lyrics

Riding on a time machine, tick tock, tick tock
To erase the memories I had with you
In the midst of such pain, before meeting you
To make it as if it never existed

I used to love myself the most
Until I met you, more than anyone else
Losing you, who was more important than myself
The number one in my world disappeared

And like drowsiness, it eats away at me
Every time I think I was happy
Tears overflow even now

Riding on a time machine, tick tock, tick tock
To erase the memories I had with you
In the midst of such pain, before meeting you
To make it as if it never existed

I'm really glad I met you
Will there ever be a day I can say that?
Because since that day three years ago
I feel like I haven't progressed at all

Walking the streets with you, even roadside flowers
Seemed like a major discovery of a new species
Even though it's such a common flower
Nowadays...

Riding on a time machine, tick tock, tick tock
I've reached the moment I met you
It's so painful, but if I hadn't met you
I wouldn't be myself

I can't bear to see the me from the moment I met you
What kind of expression did I have?
But meeting you, which I couldn't stop after all
But this is how it should be

Riding on a time machine, tick tock, tick tock
Returning to the time without you
Can't see ahead, can't look up
But let's keep looking at me

Japanese Lyrics

タイムマシンに乗ってチクタクチクタク
君といた記憶を消し去るために
こんなに苦しい中君に出会う前を
全てなかったことに

僕は自分が1番好きだった
他の誰より君に会うまでは
自分より大切な君を失い
僕の世界から1番がなくなった

そしてそれはまるで眠気のように 僕を蝕んでく
幸せだったと思う度に
涙が溢れ出してくるんだ
今でも

タイムマシンに乗ってチクタクチクタク
君といた記憶を消し去るために
こんなに苦しい中君に出会う前を
全てなかったことに

君と出会えてほんとに良かった
と言える日なんて来るのだろうか
だって3年前のあの日から僕は
なんにも進んでない気がするんだよ

いつも君と道を歩いていると 道端の花も
新種の大発見のようだった
こんなありふれた花のくせに
今では

タイムマシンに乗ってチクタクチクタク
君と出会った時間に辿り着いた
こんなに苦しいけど 君に出逢わなければ
僕が僕じゃなくなる

君と出会った瞬間の僕は
そんな顔してたのか見てられない
やっぱり止められない君との出逢は
でも これでよかったんだ

タイムマシンに乗ってチクタクチクタク
君のいない時間へと帰ってゆく
前も見れないけど 上も向けないけど
僕を見つめてゆこう
