Lyrics
Japanese	Rōmaji	Translation
今を生きる為の傷さえ 薄い春の色を手にして 逃げ出したい夜に眺めて 声を震わせながら立ち止まる 死は何故訪れる? どこかで触れた言葉 重なる答えが 悪戯に降らす雨 君よさよなら 振り返らない瞳 思い焦がれた せせらぐ時 耳を澄ます 叶えられない夢に 終わりを隠してたから この日が素晴らしき日でありますように 君さえが… 薄翅蜉蝣光求めて 迷い込んだ心はいつも 未来へ 彼岸花揺れる 君よさよなら 振り返らない瞳 思い焦がれた せせらぐ時 耳を澄ます 叶えられない夢に 終わりを隠してたから この日が素晴らしき日でありますように だから 明日も降り積もる涙を拭い取り 足を止めず向かう先で逢えるから For One More Day もう言葉も届かない君はアリス ここは?

Even the scar that's needed to survive grabs Hold of the lightly-colored spring and stops Staring into the night, wanting to escape as the voice trembles Why does death come? Hearing that word before somewhere The same answer rains down mischievously Goodbye to you The eyes won't look back To have loved passionately Listening closely to hear the murmur I was hiding the end in the dream unconquered Hoping that this day will be a wonderful day If you would just… The ant lion searching for the light The lost heart always looks to the future as the flowers of lycoris sway Goodbye to you The eyes won't look back To have loved passionately Listening closely to hear the murmur I was hiding the end in the dream unconquered Hoping that this day will be a wonderful day I will again wipe the tears that will come running down tomorrow Not stopping, for we will meet at the destination For One More Day Words won't reach you anymore, now that you are Alice And where is this?
