English version
Tell me why the reason I am here Just only you I see from far away I’ve come for you Don’t know why I searched all night and day But when I’m here, darkness came No lights to show the way Dark despair, still, I seek for you All I long to see was your smile I know I won’t look behind I see no regrets No guiding light so dark Are you my light? But now, I am here And you’re close to me My heart is with you Forever and ever See this place The end of world she fears No shining lights anywhere This emptiness in tears Didn’t know it was you all along You were chasing after my shadow I know I won’t look behind I see no regrets No guiding light so dark Are you my light? But now, I am here And you’re close to me My heart is with you Forever and ever No, I won’t let you go I will hold it in my arms Oh, this light was you I know it now, beyond the sky There’s new place you’ll see I came to you to share our dream together I won’t let us part There’s no place to be My heart is with you Forever and ever

Original lyrics
どうして僕はここにいるんだろう. 君の後ろ姿を追いかけて.

夢中で走ってきただけなのに. 辿り着いたこの世の果てに、光など無い.

足下に広がる無限の闇. 僕はただ眺めている. 君の笑顔に、出逢いたかっただけなのに.

それでも僕は後悔なんかしていない. 光なんか無くなって構わない. やっと君に追いついたから. 言葉も想いも、今ここにあるから. ずっとーー

ここが果てなのだと君は言う. どこにも光はないのだと君は泣く.

僕は気付いてなかった. 夢中で走っていたのは、僕でなく君. 僕の後ろ姿を追いかけていた事を.

それでも僕は後悔なんかしていない. 光なんか無くったって構わない. やっと振り返る事が出来たから. 言葉も想いも、今ここにあるから.

その小さな背中を、二度と離さないように強く. そうさーー光はここに萌しているんだから.

この世の果てを始まりの場所にするために. 僕はここまで来たんだ. 君を強く抱きしめるために. 言葉も想いも、今ここにあるから. ずっとーー
