Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
燦然と輝く街の灯り	sanzen to kagayaku machi no akari	The lights of the brilliant shining city
対照的な僕を見下ろす	taishouteki na boku o miorosu	Shine down on me in stark contrast
あのビルの間を抜けて	ano biru no aida o nukete	They mix with the neon colours changing
色付き出したネオンと混じって	irozuki dashita neon to majitte	and escaping from the spaces between those buildings
僕の時間とこの世界をトレード	boku no jikan to kono sekai o toreedo	I trade my time and this world
夜に沈む	yoru ni shizumu	And sink into the night

終電で家路を辿る僕の	shuuden de ieji o tadoru boku no	I make my way home on the last train
目に映るガラス窓に居たのは	me ni utsuru garasu mado ni ita no wa	And the reflection I see in the glass windows is
夢見た自分じゃなくて	yume mita jibun janakute	Not the me that I dreamt of
今にも泣き出してしまいそうな	ima ni mo nakidashite shimaisou na	It’s a person who looks like he’s about to start crying
暗闇の中独りただ迷っている	kurayami no naka hitori tada mayotte iru	A person alone in the darkness, a person who is simply lost
哀しい人	kanashii hito	A sorrowful person

大丈夫、いつか大丈夫になる	daijoubu, itsuka daijoubu ni naru	It’s fine, someday it will all be fine
なんて思う日々を幾つ重ねた	nante omou hibi o ikutsu kasaneta	How many days I’ve thought so, that have piled up on each other
今日だって独り東京の景色に透ける僕は	kyou datte hitori toukyou no keshiki ni sukeru boku wa	But even today, the me who fades into the Tokyo scenery all alone
幽霊みたいだ	yuurei mitai da	Seems like a ghost

失うことに慣れていく中で	ushinau koto ni narete iku naka de	Even as I grow used to losing
忘れてしまったあの願いさえも	wasurete shimatta ano negai sae mo	I just need that wish I had forgotten
思い出した時に	omoidashita toki ni	When I remembered it
涙が落ちたのは	namida ga ochita no wa	The tears fell
この街がただ	kono machi ga tada	Simply because this city is
余りにも眩しいから	amari ni mo mabushii kara	Way too dazzling

散々だって笑いながら嘆く	sanzan datte warainagara nageku	It’s harsh, I sigh while laughing
退廃的な日々の中	taihaiteki na hibi no naka	Amidst these decadent days
あの日の想いがフラッシュバック	ano hi no omoi ga furasshubakku	Thoughts of that day flash back in my mind
気付けば朝まで開くロジック	kizukeba asa made hiraku rojikku	By the time I realise it, my Logic is open till the morning
僕の言葉を音に乗せて何度でも	boku no kotoba o oto ni nosete nando demo	Time and time again, putting my words to music

失うことに慣れていく中で	ushinau koto ni narete iku naka de	Even as I grow used to losing
忘れてしまったあの日々でさえも	wasurete shimatta ano hibi de sae mo	I just need those days I had forgotten
それでもまだ先へ	soredemo mada saki e	But even so, even before that
なんて思えるのは	nante omoeru no wa	That I can even think of them is
君がいるから	kimi ga iru kara	Because you’re here

ねえ	nee	Hey
こんな寂しい街で	konna sabishii machi de	In such a lonely city
ねえ	nee	Hey

燦然と輝く街の灯り	sanzen to kagayaku machi no akari	The lights of the brilliant shining city
対照的な僕を見下ろす	taishouteki na boku o miorosu	Shine down on me in stark contrast
あのビルの先、手を伸ばして	ano biru no saki, te o nobashite	In front of that building, I stretch out my hand
あの日夢見た景色をなぞって	ano hi yume mita keshiki o nazotte	Tracing the view I dreamt of that day
僕の時間とこの世界をトレード	boku no jikan to kono sekai o toreedo	I trade my time and this world
明日を呼ぶ	ashita o yobu	And call for tomorrow

失うことに慣れていく中で	ushinau koto ni narete iku naka de	Even as I grow used to losing
失くさずにいた大事な想いを	nakusazu ni ita daiji na omoi o	These important feelings that I haven't lost -
抱き締めたら不意に	dakishimetara fui ni	When I held them close to myself,
涙が落ちたのは	namida ga ochita no wa	my tears fell suddenly
この街でまだ	kono machi de mada	Because I think I still want to
生きていたいと思うから	ikite itai to omou kara	Keep living in this city

君もそうでしょ	kimi mo sou desho	I bet it’s the same for you
