 私はあなたをどれくらい知っているのだろう
 ふとした瞬間に　心凍りつく
  watashi wa anata wo dorekurai shitte iru no darou
  futo shita shunkan ni  kokoro kooritsuku
     How much, I wonder,
     Do I really know about you?
     When I don't expect it,
     Your heart freezes over.

 交差するライトに浮かんだ見慣れた横顔
 ずっと前見ている　あなたは誰なの？
  kousa suru RAITO ni ukanda minareta yokogao
  zutto mae mite iru  anata wa dare nano?
     I've gotten used to seeing the side of your face
     In the passing lights,
     You, who are always looking forward,
     Who are you?

 どれだけキスしたって 抱き合ったって わかり合えないで
 今　壊れかけた砂の夢 つなぎとめてる
 この手はひとりで
  doredake KISU shitatte dakiattatte wakariaenaide
  ima  kowarekaketa suna no yume  tsunagitomete'ru
  kono te wa hitori de
     No matter how much we kissed, how much we embraced,
     We couldn't understand each other,
     Right now, hanging on to these broken dreams made of sand,
     This hand is alone.

 一秒ごとに二人は遠くに離れて
 まるで　深い霧にのみこまれたみたい
  ichibyougoto ni futari wa tooku ni hanarete
  marude  fukai kiri ni nomikomareta mitai
     Every second,
     The two of us are so far apart,
     It's like we've been swallowed
     By a dense fog.

 閉ざされた未来に　歩いて行く後ろ姿を
 ほんの少しでいい探して下さい
  tozasareta mirai ni  aruite yuku ushirosugata wo
  hon no sukoshi de ii sagashite kudasai
     Please look, just a little bit,
     For a figure
     Walking off into
     The enclosed future.

 あんなにキスしたって 抱き合ったって わかり合えなかった
 今　一言だけ 愛してるって聴きたいのに…
 その手にふれたい
  anna ni KISU shitatte dakiattatte wakariaenakatta
  ima  hitokoto dake ai shite'ru tte kikitai noni...
  sono te ni furetai
     Though we kissed, though we embraced each other so,
     We couldn't understand each other,
     Right now, I just want to hear one phrase, 
     'I love you'...
     I want to be touched by those hands.

 どうして言えずにいる愛してるって　本当の私を
 今　手渡したい夢の破片 ひろい集め
 もう一度キスしたいよ　抱いて欲しいわかり合えなくても
 そっとのばした指　その手に届くまできっと
 この手はひとりで
  doushite iezu ni iru ai shite'ru tte  hontou no watashi wo
  ima  tewatashitai yume no kakera hiroiatsume [1]
  mou ichido KISU shitai yo  daite hoshii wakariaenakutemo
  sotto nobashita yubi  sono te ni todoku made kitto
  kono te wa hitori de
     Why can't you say 'I love you'? I want to give up,
     Right now, the real me, and gathering my broken dreams, [1]
     I want to kiss you again, to hold you,
     Even if we don't understand each other
     Until its reaching fingers touch that hand,
     This hand is alone.
