Lyrics[]

Japanese Romaji English
コートの前を固く閉じて kooto no mae o kataku tojite Tightly fastening the front of my coat
曇り空   僕は街に出る kumorizora boku wa machi ni deru Under the cloudy sky, I head into the city
行き交う人は   うつむいで足早 yukikau hito wa utsumuide ashibaya All the people walking past, they hang their heads and move quickly,
体の熱と密やかな気持ちを仕舞い込むように karada no netsu to hisoyaka na kimochi o shimai komu you ni As if trying to hide their hearts and feelings from others

本当はそうじゃないのに hontou wa sou janai no ni Though it's not what we truly desire,
僕らは分からなくなって bokura wa wakaranaku natte we've somehow lapsed into it unawares
伸ばしたこの手を   途中で戻す nobashita kono te o tochuu de modosu Pulling back that outstretched hand before it reaches
寂しさ抱えたまま   僕ら   また目を逸らす sabishisa kakaeta mama bokura mata me o sorasu Embracing this loneliness, once again, we avert our eyes
しんと静まった冬の街で shin to shizumatta fuyu no machi de Here in this deathly quiet, winter cityscape

白い息を吐き出しながら shiroi iki o hakidashinagara Breathing out a cold, white breath
君との待ち合わせ場所に   向かう kimi to no machiawase basho ni mukau I head over to that place, planning to meet you
見上げて見れば雲はいっそ厚く miagete mireba kumo wa isso atsuku Looking up at the sky, the clouds are thick and with them, a faint premonition
かすかな予感   ふとよぎって   また歩き出す kasuka na yokan futo yogitte mata aruki dasu But it passes quickly, and I begin to walk once more

これだけ強く願っても kore dake tsuyoku negatte mo No matter how much I wish for it,
僕らは一つになれなくて bokura wa hitotsu ni narenakute the two of us can't become one
絡めた指を   ほどく karameta yubi o hodoku These entwined fingers come undone
寄り添って笑顔浮かべ   どこか   満たされないまま yorisotte egao ukabe dokoka mitasarenai mama Two huddled, smiling faces come to mind from some other time and place
二人いつまでも平行線のままで futari itsumade mo heikousen no mama de For here the two of us exist only in parallel, never crossing

美しいこの気持ち   さらけ出せば utsukushii kono kimochi sarakedaseba With that ever-looming anxiety, thinking "If these feelings were laid bare...
汚されるんじゃないかって hekasarerun janai katte they'd be sullied by reality, right?"
不安で   僕ら fuan de bokura The two of us can never truly
いつまでも分かり合えない itsumade mo wakari aenai understand each other
街はしんと静かなまま machi wa shin to shizuka na mama Amidst the dead quiet of the town,
優しい気持ち抱えたまま yasashii kimochi kakaeta mama just holding onto these tender feelings of mine...
行き場のないこの思いは yukiba no nai kono omoi wa These feelings with no place to go,
どこに消えてしまうだろう doko ni kiete shimau darou where will they vanish to?

突然   空が totsuzen sora ga Suddenly
ぼんやり明るくなって bonyari akaruku natte The sky glows the slightest bit brighter
真白の光   音もなく舞い落ちる masshiro no hikari oto mo naku mai ochiru A pure, white light streams downward with nary a sound
雪に包まれた街は   嘘みたいに   きれいで yuki ni tsutsumareta machi wa uso mitai ni kirei de This city is covered in snow, becoming so beautiful I can barely believe my eyes
俯向いた人たちも   顔を上げて   立ちすくむ utsumuita hitotachi mo kao o agete tachisukumu So much so that all the downcast people stop and raise their faces up to the sky...
この雪に乗って   気持ちが kono yuki ni notte kimochi ga Hoping that these feelings will ride
届きますように todokimasu you ni upon the snowflakes and reach you...
この雪に乗って   気持ちが kono yuki ni notte kimochi ga Hoping that these feelings will ride
届きますように todokimasu you ni upon the snowflakes and reach you...
この雪に乗って   気持ちが kono yuki ni notte kimochi ga Hoping that these feelings will ride
届きますように todokimasu you ni upon the snowflakes and reach you...
待ち合わせの時間も忘れて machiawase no jikan mo wasurete Forgetting about the time and place,
僕はずっと空を見られてた boku wa zutto sora o mirareteta I was just staring up into the sky...
