Lyrics[]
まだすこし覚えてる
(Just a little more, I still remember)
消える前の世界で
(In the world before it disappears)
この声で叫んでる
(I'm shouting with this voice)
名前のない 君をさがしてる
(Searching for you, nameless)
まだすこし思ってる
(Just a little more, I'm still thinking)
消える前君がいる
(You existed before vanishing)
枯れるまで叫んでよ
(Scream until you wither away)
名前のない ぼくをさがしてよ
(Search for me, nameless)
朝がきたら
(When morning comes)
窓をあけてよ
(Open the window)
君がいた場所がわかるから
(Because I know where you were)
会えなくても
(Even if we can't meet)
音の足跡で
(With the footprints of sound)
君がいた場所をさがしてる
(I'm searching for the place where you were)
またすこしわすれてる
(Again, I'm forgetting a bit)
消えたあとの世界で
(In the world after it disappeared)
どれだけ考えても
(No matter how much I think)
名前のない 日々は
(Nameless days)
過ぎていく
(Pass by)
コトバの山抜け出した
(Escaped from the mountain of words)
他のぼくとちがうから
(Because I'm different from the other me)
透けた線はみえなくて
(I can't see through the transparent lines)
名前のない 君をさがしてる
(Searching for you, nameless)
朝がきたら
(When morning comes)
窓をあけてよ
(Open the window)
君がいた場所がわかるから
(Because I know where you were)
会えなくても
(Even if we can't meet)
音の足跡で
(With the footprints of sound)
君がいた場所をさがしてる
(I'm searching for the place where you were)
