Maki modose nai n da i gotta goThere’s no turning back, I’ve gotta go
Omae no inai hikari yori moRather than a light without you here,
Erabu omae no iru kurai bashoI’d choose the darkness as long as you’re there
Aitai kimochi purple rain no youThis longing feels just like a purple rain
Zubunure ni natta air force NikeMy Air Force Nikes are soaking wet
Harerya omae mitai na hoshi kirariWhen it clears, you’ll shine bright like a star
