Original Lyrics: Petrichor Lyrics (Romanized)
1.This might be a dream—in a place shrouded deep in fog
2.I kept walking alone, not knowing where I was headed
3.With no destination, no meaning to be found, I begin to wander, my heart wavers—
4.A sea of white
5.Raindrops crawl down my raincoat, bouncing off before they fall
6.And the emptiness only grows7.
8.Once again, I’ve forgotten something important, a wandering ghost lost in the dark
9.No matter how much time passes, I can’t sing, I can’t even tell what’s right or wrong
10.If this is an empty dream world, then I’ll force myself to believe it is
11.And keep walking, even if I’m too tired to scream12.
13.This might be a dream—if so, when will I wake up?
14.And if this dream never ends, can it still be called a dream at all?
15.Rain pours over my heavy body, choking me, and still
16.My heart wavers—
17.The air feels loose and stagnant. The magnolia buds take a deep breath
18.And drift into sleep, but the emptiness still grows19.

20.Afraid, hesitant, a wandering ghost lost without escape
21.I want to blame someone else, but even that seems impossible
22.If this is an empty dream world
23.Then I’ll force myself to believe it is, but the emptiness still weighs me down24.
25.Once again, I’ve forgotten something important, a wandering ghost lost in the dark
26.No matter how much time passes, I can’t sing, I can’t even tell what’s right or wrong
27.If this is an empty dream world, then I’ll force myself to believe it is
28.And keep walking, even if I’m too tired to scream29.
30.Still walking on, just walking on

1.これは夢かもしれない 深く霧の立ちこめた場所で
2.一人歩き続けた 何処へ向かうのかわからないまま
3.今何の当てもなく意味も見つからず迷いだす 心は揺れる
4.ビアンコの海
5.レインコートを這う水滴が弾けては落ちていく 虚しさはまだ
6.募っていく7.
8.また僕は大事なことを忘れて彷徨う亡霊
9.いつまで経っても歌えない 間違いさえもわからない
10.ここは今空虚な夢の世界とそう思い込んで
11.僕は歩いてくんだって 叫び疲れたまま12.
13.これは夢かもしれない だとすればいつ目が覚めるのか
14.もしも覚めぬ夢なら それは夢と呼べるだろうか
15.重たい体に噎せ返る雨が降りきっとまだ 心は揺れる
16.弛んだ空気
17.泰山木の莟は息をつき眠っている 虚しさはまだ
18.募っていく19.
20.怖がって躊躇してどうしようもなく彷徨う亡霊
21.誰かのせいにしてしまいたい それすらどうも難しい
22.ここは今空虚な夢の世界とそう思い込んで
23.ただただそう思い込んで 虚しさがのしかかる24.
25.まだ僕は大事なことを忘れて彷徨う亡霊
26.いつまで経っても歌えない 間違いさえもわからない
27.ここは今空虚な夢の世界とそう思い込んで
28.僕は歩いてくんだって 叫び疲れたまま29.
30.歩き続けたまま
