Lyrics[]

Original Romaji English

淋しさなら慣れているよ
生まれたときから
でも目の前に
差し出された腕に
思わず心揺れて

眩しい頼エにひろがる未来を
感じている 愛のせいで
強くて優しい 
なぜだかせつない
気持ちのかけら 
抱きしめて
Ah... あなたに 
Ah....寄り添う

忘れてゆくためにいつも
出逢いをかさねた
そんな痛みに
気付かせてくれたね
そのあたたかな涙

不思議な頼エに
戸惑いながらも
あなたの手を握りしめる
微笑むことから
初めてみたくて
何かが変わる
この胸で
Ah... 光が 
Ah... あふれる

Sabishi-sanara narete iru yo
Umareta toki kara
Demo me no mae ni
Sashidasa reta ude ni
Omowazu kokoro yurete

Mabushii yokan ni hirogaru mirai o
Kanjite iru ai no sei de
Tsuyokute yasashī
Nazedaka setsunai
Kimochi no kake-ra
Dakishimete
Ah... Anata ni
Ah... Yorisou

Wasurete yuku tame ni itsumo
Deai o kasaneta
Son'na itami ni
Kidzuka sete kureta ne
Sono atataka na namida

Fushigina yokan ni
Tomadoinagara mo
Anata no te o nigirishimeru
Hohoemu koto kara
Hajimete mitakute
Nanika ga kawaru
Kono mune de
Ah... Hikari ga
Ah... Afureru

I'm getting used to
the loneliness,
ever since I was born.
But within those arms
that opened up before my eyes,
my heart spontaneously trembles.

In a dazzling premonition,
I feel the future
unfolding
Because of love
Strong and gentle
Embracing
pieces of feelings
that are, for some reason, painful.

Ah... Cuddled up...
Ah... ...close to you

[Instrumental]

In order to forget,
I always
had one encounter after another...
They did me a favor
by making me aware of such pain...
Those warm tears...

Even as I lose my bearings
in the wonderous premonition,
I squeeze
your hand.
For the first time, I want to try
starting from a smile
and something changes
here in my heart

Ah... The light is...
Ah... ...overflowing
[1]
