I speak words, you answer with words
I’m certain it was those words that bridged the distance between us
Lying on the ground, I thought while counting the stars
The words I’m about to speak now were just “that’s it”

We were specks of the universe, moving left and right
Then we were bounded to the ground
It must be an instinct. This struggle to resist gravity

Tears fall to the ground because they have a certain weight to them
In life, the hardships and joys are like satellites orbiting a planet
I wanted to grab onto the happiness, but I got too close and crashed
Then I cried that I’d destroyed it. By the way, the moon is beautiful tonight

I measure time in words. With a thousand words, I leave the past behind
With ten thousands never-ending words, I ought to grab a drink to make up the loss
Thanks to the gratitude, I staggered back home without figuring out north or south
But I’ve already given up and laid down on the sidewalk. If home was the sky, I could have gone promptly

“Don’t deny people to protect your pride”
“Don’t be so quick to tie up the loose ends”
It’s all a bunch of patches and a shabby mess. But that’s the way it is with most beliefs

The view we get because we can’t fly. Those little beauties are what make us who we are
In life, the hardships and joys are like satellites orbiting a planet
I just wanted to lock the sadness away. But if I went too far, I’d be thrown out
Then I cried that it was so dark. By the way, the moon is beautiful tonight

If I could spend tens of thousands of words trying to get to that distant planet
Because it’s my life that made me stubborn
The crazier you pile it up, the more it crumbles, the higher it rises, the shakier the foothold
Resist gravity, resist, resist
Because it’s just that I don’t want to see what’s beyond it all
I’ll just go against it. I’ll just go against it

A void of loss and lack, something that I chose to fill
In life, the hardships and joys are like satellites orbiting a planet
Words to help me get to that distant planet, bounded by gravity
I lay on the country road…By the way, the moon is beautiful tonight

僕が言葉を話す　君が言葉で答える
僕らの距離を埋めたのは　きっと言葉だった
地面に寝転んで星を　数えながら思ったこと
これから話す言葉は　ただそれだけの話

宇宙の埃として　右往左往ばっかの僕らは
地面に縛られてるから
きっと本能なんだ　この重力に抗いたいのは

涙が地面に落ちるのは　それなりの重さがあるから
人生において苦楽は　惑星における衛星のよう
喜びだけを掴みたくて　近づき過ぎて墜落して
台無しだって泣いたんだ　ところで今夜は月が綺麗

僕は時間を言葉で測る　千文字過去は捨てて行く
一万文字疎遠の彼とは　飲みにでも行かなきゃ足らないから
お陰で千鳥足の帰路　北も南も分からなくなって
もう諦めて寝転んだ歩道　空なら迷わず行けるのに

プライドを守る為に　人を否定なんかするなよ
綻びはすぐに縫い合わせ
継ぎ接ぎだらけでみすぼらしい　でも信念は大概そんなもんだ

飛べないからこそ見た景色　些細な綺麗が僕ららしい
人生において苦楽は　惑星における衛星のよう
悲しみだけ遠ざけたくて　離れ過ぎたら放り出され
真っ暗だって泣いたんだ　ところで今夜は月が綺麗

あの惑星まで何万文字費やせば
意固地になるのは己の人生だから
気が狂うほど積んでは崩し　高くなるほどに足場は揺らぎ
重力に抵抗せよ　抵抗せよ　抵抗せよ
その先を見たい訳じゃない
逆らってるだけ　逆らってるだけ

喪失と欠落の空白　埋める為に選んだ何か
人生において苦楽は　惑星における衛星のよう
重力に縛られた僕が　あの星へ行く為の言葉
国道に寝転んで　ところで今夜は月が綺麗
