A Step Away

A Step Away is a track in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. It was used as promotional material, having been released in a tweet by XenobladeJP on Twitter. It plays as time passes when the party is locked in Agnus Castle before the solar eclipse.

Its lyrics were written by Tetsuya Takahashi, translated into English by Lisa Gomamoto, and sung by Sara Weeda.

Here I am Staring at my own palms I feel the warmth of your hand I thought I'd be forever by your side, protecting you Assuming that's what you wanted too

I had no clue That we had nothing between us Perhaps I was so scared to know the truth Now that you're gone, and yet your love is still embracing me I'm at a loss, I need you with me

It's like I'm drowning As if I've lost the way But you always appear as if you guide my way I thought I could do it all I had my confidence But now I'm left alone with no one by my end

I knew my faults But I pretended I didn't know I fear I'm not the kind of man you know I see you smile, pretending everything is alright But that made me feel more in misery

I don't know where to start There's nothing left for me I know I've lost it all except the memories When I have my chin up high I see a glimpse of light Like how we find the brightest star up in the sky

I now have the courage to Show you there is a way You told me silently I know what you will say And when I search for you I see a guiding light It's now so clear to me that you're still far away A step away

僕はただ　手のひらを見つめている 君の手の温もりを　思い出しながら どんな時だって　必ず守れるって思っていた そう願ってるんだって　思い込んでいた

僕たちの間には　何ひとつ残っていない その真実を知ることから　逃げていたんだ 君が去った後も　その想いが僕を包みこむ 全てを失ってしまった僕には　君が必要なんだ

行く道が見えなくなって　途方に暮れている時 君は現れ　僕を導いてくれたのに 今まで何だって　出来る自信があった その勘違いが　僕をより惨めにさせるんだ
