I’m bound by a promise I’m sure I never made
So why do I feel so guilty
When I try to break free from it?
Eternity can’t be measured
With a wind-up wristwatch
But even feeling such futility
In my heart, there’s a reason I can’t let go

Even if depression were to wake in the night
Attacking me like a wild beast
Even if crows were to shred my prayers to pieces
With the rain shooting down like stray bullets
As long as you are here, beneath the skies of this city
I’ll never run away

Humans can’t live inside a dollhouse
In a city of drifting ice
I’ve been chasing mirages in the runoff
There are many people
They say many things
Like, “Money is everything”
Anyone who believes that has no room for doubt

Everyone’s being pushed along by love
Taking much more than they give
So when a parched wind blows through violently
Turning the countryside into a desert…
When the sun beats down from the sky above
Will you still
Be by my side?

Even if depression were to wake in the night
Attacking me like a wild beast
Even if crows were to shred my prayers to pieces
With the rain shooting down like stray bullets
As long as you are here
Beneath the skies of this city

I’m sure that I…
I want to stay sober
On nights the crying voices of children echo through the stairwells
Opening up the door to my fridge
I’ll drink a bottle of water and take an oath
This ocean is filled with whirlpools of desire
But my steps will glide
As if crossing the Moon River
I’ll walk across, with you

You’ll be by my side, won’t you?

交わしたはずのない約束に縛られ
破り棄てようとすれば
うしろめたくなるのは何故だ
手巻きの腕時計で
永遠は計れない
虚しさを感じても
手放せない理由がこの胸にある

たとえ鬱が夜更けに目覚めて
獣のように襲いかかろうとも
祈りをカラスが引き裂いて
流れ弾の雨が降り注ごうとも
この街の空の下
あなたがいるかぎり僕は逃げない

人形の家には人間は棲めない
流氷のような街で
追いかけてたのは逃げ水
いろんな人がいて
いろんなことを言うよ
「お金がすべてだぜ」と
言い切れたならきっと迷いも失せる

みんな愛の歌に背突かれて
与えるより多く奪ってしまうのだ
乾いた風が吹き荒れて
田園の風景を砂漠にしたなら
照りつける空の下
あなたはこの僕の
傍にいるだろうか？

たとえ鬱が夜更けに目覚めて
獣のように襲いかかろうとも
祈りをカラスが引き裂いて
流れ弾の雨が降り注ごうとも
この街の空の下
あなたがいるかぎり

僕はきっと
シラフな奴でいたいのだ
子供の泣く声が踊り場に響く夜
冷蔵庫のドアを開いて
ボトルの水飲んで誓いをたてるよ
欲望が渦を巻く海原さえ
ムーン・リヴァーを
渡るようなステップで
踏み越えて行こう　あなたと

この僕の傍にいるだろう？
