Lyrics[]
Tooku hanareteru hodo ni chikaku ni kanjiteru
Samishisa mo tsuyosa e to kawatteku
...Kimi wo omotta nara
Machi mo hito mo yume mo
Kaete yuku jikan ni
Tada sakaratte ita
Kotoba wo kasanetemo wakariaenai koto
Mada shiranakatta ne
Kimi dake wo dakishimetakute nakushita yume kimi wa
"Akiramenaide" to itta
Tooku hanareteru hodo ni chikaku ni kanjiteru
Samishisa mo tsuyosa e to kawatteku
...Kimi wo omotta nara
Setsunaku mune wo sasu sore wa yume no kakera
Ari no mama deaeteta sono kiseki
Mou ichido shinjite
Kimi ga inai hibi ni zutto tachidomatta
Demo arukidashiteru
Kimi to wakachiatta dono guuzen ni mo imi ga
Sou kanarazu atta
Sorezore no yume wo kanaete mata meguriau toki
Guuzen wa unmei ni naru
Yabureta yakusoku sae mo chikai ni kaeta nara
Ano basho de deau toki
Ano koro no futari ni nareru kana?
"Yasashisa" ni nite iru natsukashii omokage
Me wo tojite mieru kara
Te wo furezu aru koto wo shiru kara
Asu ni hagurete
Kotae ga nani mo mienakutemo
Kimi ni au sono tame ni kasaneteku
"Kyou" to iu shinjitsu
Tooku hanareteru hodo ni chikaku ni kanjiteru
Samishisa mo tsuyosa e to kawatteku
...Kimi wo omotta nara
Setsunaku mune wo sasu sore wa yume no kakera
Ari no mama deaeteta sono kiseki
Mou ichido shinjite
遠く離れてるほどに近く感じてる
寂しさも強さへと 変換(かわ)ってく…君を想ったなら
街も人も夢も 変えていく時間に
ただ逆らっていた
言葉を重ねても 理解(わか)り合えないこと
まだ知らなかったね
君だけを抱きしめたくて失くした夢君は
「諦メナイデ」 と云った
遠く離れてるほどに近く感じてる
寂しさも強さへと 変換(かわ)ってく…君を想ったなら
切なく胸を刺す それは夢の欠片
ありのまま出逢えた その奇跡 もう一度信じて
君がいない日々にずっと立ち止った
でも 歩き出してる
君と分かち合った どの偶然にも意味が
そう 必ずあった
それぞれの夢を叶えて まためぐり逢うとき
偶然は運命になる
破れた約束さえも誓いに変えたなら
あの場所で出逢う時あの頃の二人に戻(なれ)るかな?
“優しさ” に似ている懐かしい面影
瞳(め)を閉じて見えるから 手を離れず在ることを知るから
明日にはぐれて答えが何も見えなくても
君に逢う そのために重ねてく “今日” という真実
遠く離れてるほどに近く感じてる
寂しさも強さへと 変換(かわ)ってく…君を想ったなら
切なく胸を刺す それは夢の欠片
ありのまま出逢えた その奇跡 もう一度信じて
The further apart we are, the closer I feel to you
Even loneliness becomes strength
…When I think of you
When the town, people and my dreams
Changed
I just fought against it
I had yet to discover what it was like
To put words together and still not understand each other
I lost my dreams because I only wanted to hold you
But you told me not to give up
The further apart we are, the closer I feel to you
Even loneliness becomes strength
…When I think of you
It’s the pieces of my dreams that are sticking into my heart so painfully
That we met just like that was a miracle
Believe in it once more
On the days when you weren’t here I stopped completely
But I’ve started walking again
Absolutely every coincidence had meaning
When I shared it with you
When we fulfil our respective dreams and meet again
Coincidence will become fate
If we turn our broken promises into vows
Can we go back the way we were
When we met in that place?
When I close my eyes I can see
A nostalgic image that resembles tenderness
Because I know what it’s like to be unable to hold your hand
Even if we’re apart tomorrow
And I can’t see any solution
I’ll gather together the truths called “today”
To see you
The further apart we are, the closer I feel to you
Even loneliness becomes strength
…When I think of you
It’s the pieces of my dreams that are sticking into my heart so painfully
That we met just like that was a miracle
Believe in it once more
