Lyrics

Japanese
切なさとけこむ なつかしい風 まだ覚えているよあの日の笑顔のまぶしさを ひろい世界ひとりきり 孤独なんて感じはしない はじめからきっと決まっていたこと 幾千のカケラたちうかぶ夜空 穴だらけ未完成パズルのよう いっぺんもこぼさずだきしめるよ ふしぎなきもち ひとつひとつのピースは 星さえも見えない暗闇で 希望など知らないそんな顔をした ピースとピースをつなげば ほんのり色づくよグラデーション 月の明かりであわく染まれ つよさは透明澄んだこころ つよさは透明それしか許されないの （コントラスト）月の満ち欠けに （コントラスト）みとれてる ひろい世界ひとりきり 孤独なんて感じはしない だってほらあたたかい目を閉じれば はじめての感触がつたわるみたい いつだってすぐそばここにいるよ やさしいきもち ひとつひとつのピースは 見失ってしまうほど脆く 理想などはるか彼方とくだけた ピースとピースをつなげば 新しいルートがうまれるの 月の明かりにみちびかれて 暗い夜空に別れを告げて この手をはなさない 月の明かりのコントラストは あなたとの距離を埋めるみたい ひとつひとつのピースは 星さえも見えない暗闇で 希望など知らないそんな顔をした ピースとピースをつなげば ほんのり色づくよグラデーション 月の明かりであわく染まれ 月の明かりにみちびかれて

This familiar breeze melts away all pain. Even now, I remember how bright your smile was that day. All by myself in this big wide world Still, I don't feel lonely. Because from the start, that's how it was meant to be. The countless pieces of you float high in the night sky. They make me an unfinished puzzle, full of gaps. But not a single one will be left out of the embrace Of this feeling so strange. Each and all of those pieces Lie in utter darkness, where the stars don't shine. And their faces tell that they've never known hope. But if we put these pieces together We'll see a faint gradation giving them color As the moonlight gently wrapts them in its touch. Strength is unceen in a lucid heart. Strength is unseen because it's the only way it can be. (Contrast) The cycles of the moon (Contrast) capture the heart. All alone in this big wide world And still, I don't feel lonely. 'Cause see? There is warmth when you close your eyes. It makes me feel a way I never have before. It'll always be here, right by your side This feeling so gentle. Each and all of those pieces Are so meek, they easily fade out of sight As their ambitions lie crumbled far behind them. But if we put these pieces together A new path will appear before them Where the moonlight will be their guide Spelled on the night sky is a message of goodbye But I'm not letting go of your hand. The contrast of the moonlight Seems to fill the distance between you and I Each and all of those pieces Lie in utter darkness, where the stars don't shine. And their faces tell that they've never known hope. But if we put these pieces together We'll see a faint gradation giving them color As the moonlight gently wrapts them in its touch. This moonlight that'll always guide them forward.
