That day when it skimmed the space just above us
as it went by, that airplane
It’s puzzling, the extent that I remember it
Even though there’s no reason for it
I wonder why
The night I dried my cowardly tears
My only wish was to become stronger
The courage needed to fulfill that wish
Is what I’ve been searching for
Even if the destiny written for me is filled with cruelty,
Even if that fate were to someday appear before me,
If even for just an instant,
For just this very instant,
As long as I can draw breath
It’s not something worth the worry
That’s how I want to live
One more time
“Go the distance! Go the distance!”
Somewhere inside of me someone sings these words
With a passion as if it’s all they can possibly do
So that your eyes, always swollen from tears, will never again
have reason to cry, I will smile
This song is so that I may become such a hero
In any case, throw up a peace sign
As this story unravels before our eyes
As much as I say I want to protect you,
I know that you aren’t weak
In fact, I’m much weaker than you
You’re just that important to me
“I’ll live on my own” and things like that
came out of my mouth as I cried, and since that day
It’s okay to laugh at how much I’ve changed,
at the me who was scared of being alone
Pushing others away, lashing out, unable to take a breath
My head’s in a tizzy and my insides are jumbled up
To the point that all my pretenses and put-on airs are vanishing
I want to reach out now
To your heart
We will
Surely someday, though it’s so far away,
Be able to reach even the sun
Let’s reach it before dawn and laugh
And like that we’ll be dyed a burning blue
The other side of that faint town
We can reach it if we join hands and run
Together let’s snatch the future and rewrite it
A story with no big twists
Those violent days filled to the brim with scars,
And now, worn down to shavings
Resurrected by your words
Vividly
It appears
As if in a chrysalis, my soul sleeps deeply
That thrown out, half-eaten dream of mine,
Give it one more chance
One more time
“Go the distance! Go the distance!”
Somewhere inside of me someone sings these words
With a passion as if it’s all they can possibly do
So that your eyes, always swollen from tears, will never again
have reason to cry, I will smile
This song is so that I may become such a hero
In any case, throw up a peace sign
As this story unravels before our eyes
Together let’s snatch the future and rewrite it
A story with no big twists
