itoshii yasuragi wa yuugure to tomo ni ushinaware
shizuka na toki ga kizukanakatta sukima wo hirogeta
watashi ni wa sore ga ima wa fusagenai koto wo shiru

The peace between us I'd held so dear
soon vanished along with the twilight
The spaces between us only widened in the silence and I realise I can't fill them now

hikari no tenmetsu ga o wo hiite ushiro e nagarete wa kieteyuki
anata no tokoro kara sukoshi zutsu toonoiteiru no wo oshieru
...utsuro na mado ni wa nani mo dekinai watashi ga soko ni ita

I watched the blinking lights,
trailing past me before they vanished
Reminding me I was moving further and further away from you
I was powerless, watching through the window

madoromi no gogo itsumo no you ni
soba ni ite warau anata no yume wo mita
mado no soto wo nagameru watashi ni hohoemu
anata no yume wo...

I fell asleep that afternoon and dreamt of you,
laughing beside me as you always did
You smiled at me as I stared out the window
in my dream...

ashi wo tomete mada usugurai sora wo nagai aida miteita
...doushite sou yuu toki ni kagitte umaku ienai no darou

It was still dark and gloomy overhead
as I paused and gazed up at the sky
I wonder why it's so hard to find the right words at times like these

madoromi no gogo itsumo no you ni
soba ni ite warau anata no yume wo mita
mado no soto wo nagameru watashi ni hohoemu
anata no yume wo...

I fell asleep that afternoon and dreamt of you,
laughing beside me as you always did
You smiled at me as I stared out the window
in my dream...

as if in a dream
kanojo wa mada nemutteiru darou ka...

As if in a dream
Perhaps she's still asleep...
