Kotoba ni dekinai kyori no naka deWithin this distance that words can’t describe,
Soba ni itemo tooku ni kanjiruI feel you’re far away, even right by my side.
Hohoenda sono kao ga sukoshi dakeThat smile on your face,
Itsumo to chigau ki ga surufeels just a little different than usual.
Tabun tabun ai janaiMaybe, maybe it isn’t love,
Kedo kedo kodoku demo naibut, but it isn’t loneliness either.
Mada mada mitakunai yawarakana himitsuI don’t want to see those soft secrets just yet.
Eien no furi wo shiyouLet’s pretend this is forever.
Otona ni nattara dare demoOnce we grow up, surely anyone,
Hitotsu futatsu wa dekiru deshouharbors a secret or two,
Dare nimo ienai youna kotothat they could never tell another soul.
Uso de tokashita chokoreetoChocolate melted down by lies,
Ammattarui kotoba to kisu shitekissing with such sugary-sweet words.
Kudaite nonde wasuremashouLet’s crush it, drink it down, and forget,
Atomaji dake ga daiji nanobecause only the aftertaste really matters.
Namae ga tsukanai yoru no fuchi deOn the edge of a night that has no name,
Mirai nante tooku ni kanjiruthe future feels so far away.
Gomakashita sono kao ga sukoshi dakeThat face you made to smooth things over,
Watashi to niteru ki ga surufeels a little bit like my own.
Tabun tabun kotae wa naiMaybe, maybe there is no answer,
Kedo kedo wakaritaku mo naibut, but I don’t want to understand either.
Mada mada tokenai sasayakana noroiA quiet little curse that hasn’t broken yet.
Moumoku na furi wo shiyouLet’s pretend to be blind to it all.
Otona ni nattara dare demoOnce we grow up, surely anyone,
Hitori futari wa deau deshouwill meet one or two people,
Furecha ikenai youna hitothat they really shouldn’t touch.
Uso de tsutsunda chokoreetoChocolate wrapped up in lies,
Shiranai sekai wo oshieteshow me a world I don’t know.
Kudaite nonde shizumimashouLet’s crush it, drink it down, and sink into it,
Anata ga ireba doko mademogoing anywhere as long as you’re there.
Mada mada wakatte inaiYou still, still don’t understand.
Anata ja kizukenai yoYou’d never notice it,
Watashi ga shikaketa shitatakana uso nithe calculated lie that I set up.
Eien no furi wo shiyouLet’s pretend this is forever.
Otona ni nattara dare demoOnce we grow up, surely anyone,
Hitotsu futatsu wa ieru deshoucan say one or two things,
Katachi dake no aishiteru moeven an ‘I love you’ that’s just for show.
Uso de tokashita chokoreetoChocolate melted down by lies,
Ammattarui kotoba to kisu shitekissing with such sugary-sweet words.
Kudaite nonde oboete oiteCrush it, drink it down, and remember this:
Atomaji nante nokoranai tono aftertaste will ever remain.
