夜に駆ける (yoru ni kakeru)

As if sinking, as if melting away
It was just the two of us that night, under the vast sky

Just saying goodbye
With that single word, I understood everything
The figure of the Sun descending in the sky
Passing behind the fence

Since the first day we met
You stole my heart completely
You, who were surrounded by a somewhat fragile air
Had lonely eyes

That incessant ticking
Was all I heard echoing in the world
The loud and hurried words from your voice
And the tears that seemed about to fall
Perhaps we both discovered a mundane happiness

You who can't laugh on busy days
Don't stop thinking about a radiant tomorrow
As the night falls and opens ahead
Look at me, hold my hand
Forget about what comes next and don't talk about it
Embrace me and feel the warmth, melting us
There will be no fear until the Sun rises
It will be just the two of us

You only want to be noticed
But still, you don't like being stared at
You seem fascinated, you seem to be in love
It's that expression that I hate

I want to believe in this, but I don't believe
Because I know that this probably happened
There will be many afters still
It makes me so angry and cry
Yet perhaps, someday, we, probably
Will believe that we'll stay together

I'm tired of this, I don't like it anymore
You sharply refuse to hold my hand and shake it
I'm tired of this, I don't like it anymore
Actually, I wanted to say that too

Ah, look, the ticking again
It was all I heard echoing in the world
None of the words I prepared for you reach you
When I said: "I want to end it all"
As soon as I expressed those words
You laughed for the first time

I can't laugh on busy days
In my eyes, you are beautiful
The tears that fell on that endless night
Are melting away because of your smile

I cried on those strange days
You kindly invited me to the end
As if sinking, as if melting
The dense fog dissipates
In the days I locked myself away, wanting to forget
I take the hand you offered me
It passes, like a fresh breeze blown through the sky
Don't let go of my hand
The two of us are running towards the night
