1.How many years have I been swimming through the Milky Way?
2.Even now, I still can’t hear it.
3.At the farthest reaches of a dream beyond dreams,
4.It’s no wonder.5.
6.A supernova sleeping in a cloud of stars,
7.Life swallows its flickers,
8.Tracing the afterglow, round and round and round and round.
9.If dizziness sets in, say “Good night.”10.
11.The night, stroking the night,
12.Fades from view,
13.Melting away over a billion years.
14.In the backlight, hand in hand,
15.We soared at the limit of brightness.
16.Strumming chords,
17.Marking a heartbeat,
18.Before the Milkomeda drifts away,
19.Come on, let’s talk—
20.Our destination is a cluster of stars.21.
22.Andromeda, moving so slowly,
23.You haven’t noticed that either.
24.Memories seep from my earphones,
25.Hey, let’s stay like this.26.
27.Before I knew it, you became the brightest star.
28.While I wandered, grounded on Earth,
29.Last night’s memories swirl, round and round and round and round.
30.It’s about time for good kids to say “Good night.”31.
32.Bring back the song from just a moment ago,
33.Why does my heart feel so restless?
34.Searching for the lingering echoes, round and round and round and round.
35.Until the dizziness overtakes me, it’s too late—Goodbye.
36.I shouted endlessly, saying “Goodbye.”37.
38.“Night.”39.
40.The night, stroking the night,
41.Fades from view,
42.Melting away over a billion years.
43.In the backlight, hand in hand,
44.We soared at the limit of brightness.
45.Strumming chords,
46.Marking a heartbeat,
47.Before the Milkomeda drifts away,
48.Come on, let’s talk—
49.So that our eyes won’t look away,
50.Let’s go beyond the night sky—
51.Our destination is the end of the universe.
