Lyrics[edit]
English lyrics[edit]
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 all right
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 taught 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 but you're still far away....
A step away...
Original lyrics[edit]
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
気づかぬ振りをしていただけなんだ
本当の自分を 見たくなかったから
私は大丈夫だから
君はきっと 優しくそう言うだろう
その声が 僕をより無力にさせるんだ
今の僕には もう何一つとして残っていない
全てが零れ落ちた後に 気づいたって遅すぎる
俯いた先には 冷え切った床がただそこにある
顔を上げる勇気が 僕は欲しい
本当の想いを伝える 言葉が欲しい
君の真実に寄り添える 強さが欲しい

高橋監督とはこれまで数多くの歌ものを一緒に作ってきましたが、いつも歌い手さんを探し当てるのは至難の業 です。 一時期、日本の歌手でタイアップはどうかという話も出た事がありましたが、作品の世界観が壊れるのを 避けたいという思いから、 大変ですがいつも僕が一から歌い手を探しています。 今回も何人かの海外アーティス トのデモを聴かせてもらい、「3」にマッチした歌声を高橋監督と決めました。 見事選ばれたのはオランダ出身 のサラ・ウィーダ氏で、とてもソウルフルな歌声が物語を盛り上げてくれました。
