1.In a much too lively city, I took the long way around, all alone
2.But it’s still not the loneliest these nights could get
3.The last train arrives at the Garden Place
4.As I loathe to part with this lonely night circus
5.I pretended to search for a missing coat button
6.I don’t want to go home yet…
7.It seems I really don’t want to go home
8.The path I carved while chatting idly with the night
9.Bore a striking resemblance to this city
10.Saying farewell to it doesn’t come so easily
11.But I don’t really need a reason
12.That always comes after the fact13.
14.In a much too lively city, I took the long way around, all alone
15.But it’s still not the loneliest these nights could get16.
17.On the road home
18.At an intersection lined with trees
19.I burned the night sky into my memories
20.I had no idea a worn out memory could be this beautiful
21.I had no idea…
22.If there’s something beyond this, and that thing is light,
23.All I really have to do is treasure each moment,
24.Isn’t it?
25.In a much too lively city, I took the long way around, all alone
26.But it’s still not the loneliest these nights could get
27.In a much too lively city, I took the long way around, all alone
28.Once again, I’ll be saved by these lonely nights
29.No matter your desires, Tokyo nights will swallow them up,
30.Then spit them back out again for you
31.If I were to be out in the light when that happened,
32.How wonderful it would be
33.Having wandered through this circus tent of a city,
34.I hummed my new song, waiting for a taxi to stop
