It’s strange how well I remember
The airplane I once saw flying effortlessly above.
There’s no real reason,
It just sticks with me.
In the evening, after I spent the whole day a crying mess,
I wished for nothing but to be stronger.
I was searching for
The courage I would need to achieve that goal.
Even if a cruel fate has been carved in stone,
Poised to reveal itself before me someday…
As long as I have a moment, this moment, where I can breathe,
I can hold on to the feeling that none of it really matters!
Someone inside me is singing,
“Go the distance!
Go the distance once more!”
With a passion that I can’t deny.
Your eyes are always swollen with tears,
But I’ll keep smiling so you’ll never have to be sad again—
The song I hear encourages me to be that kind of hero!
I’ll throw up a peace sign,
Rolling this story along!
I couldn’t say I wanted to protect you…
You weren’t that weak.
But I was even weaker.
You were always someone important to me.
I’ve been changing ever since that day,
When I yelled, “I’ll go on living alone!”
So go ahead and laugh!
Laugh, because I’m afraid of being alone.
Even if I’m kicking, biting, unable to breathe,
And the depths of my rioting head and stomach are a gushy mess…
I can almost forget about struggling to impress everyone—
That’s how much I want to be there, feeling your heart!
Someday,
I’m sure our hands
Will reach the far-off sun—
Let’s attain the moment before daybreak, laughing aloud!
We’ll be dyed in a palely burning color
As we venture beyond this dim city.
Joining hands, I bet we can run all the way through!
I’ll steal a future with you,
Writing a story without any twists!
Rowdy days spent covered in scabs…
Worn-out days of scraping myself up and getting scraped…
Your words bring them all back to me—they appear so vividly.
My soul, still sleeping in its chrysalis…
That dream, tossed aside still half-eaten…
I’ll take them all back once more!
Someone inside me is singing,
“Go the distance!
Go the distance once more!”
With a passion that I can’t deny.
Your eyes are always swollen with tears,
But I’ll keep smiling so you’ll never have to be sad again—
The song I hear encourages me to be that kind of hero!
I’ll throw up a peace sign,
Rolling this story along!
I’ll steal a future with you, writing a story without any twists!
