     [Romaji Lyrics]

kowareta SHIGUNARU
machi wa juutaichuu
sono hoka ni "tomare!" to
dare ka ga sakebu

bokura wa itsu kara
doko e mukatteru?
nagare ni shitagatte iru dake

IRAIRA to shite ita tte
jikan wa ari amatteru
mokuteki ga mitsukatte nai no ni
shudan wo katatte mo kachi ga nai

ai nara koko ni aru
tachidomatta sono shunkan ni
tonari ni kimi ga tashika ni iru koto
omoidashitan da
soshite
doushite sonna kantan na koto
kidzuka nakatta no ka?
tatteru kono chi koso sagashiteta basho
shiawase na sekai

tsukareta dareka ga
ishi wo nagetan da

"susume!" no ao ni mukatte...

aruku no wo yamete mitara
tokei wa iranaku natta
hateshinai jinsei no michi wo
isoide iru dake ja imi ga nai

ai nara koko ni aru

tonari ni kimi ga tashika ni iru koto
omoidashitan da

doushite sonna kantan na koto
kidzuka nakatta no ka?
tatteru kono chi koso sagashiteta basho
shiawase na sekai

     [English Translation]

With a broken signal,
the city's full of traffic
Right there, someone
shouts "stop!"

When will we get going,
and where will we be going?
Just following the stream of traffic

Though you say you're annoyed,
there's still time left
We can't see our destination, so there's
no point talking about how to get there

If this is love, it's here
In the moment I stopped,
I remembered that you
are certainly by my side
And so,
why didn't I realize
such a simple thing?
The place sought for, upon this earth on which we stand,
is a world of happiness

Tired out, someone
threw a stone

Face the blue light that says "go!"...

When I tried to stop walking,
I stopped needing a watch
There's no meaning in hurrying
around this endless city of life

If this is love, it's here
I remembered bit by bit how we
looked at each other, spoke to each other,
and how I embraced you so many times
Someday,
we'll have begun walking on the unconscious
road to paradise
Though you're not here right now, I'm going
to a distant place, the future of desire

If this is love, it's here
In the moment I stopped,
I remembered that you
are certainly by my side
And so,
why didn't I realize
such a simple thing?
The place sought for, upon this earth on which we stand,
is a world of happiness
