Mezame / Awakening
Toridori.

watashi no me no naka de anata wa hohoende
tsunagatta me to me wa mou haruka saki o miteru

watashi wa omou kara anata wa soba ni ite
irodotta hibi o sou sugoshitsudzukeru no

yume o mita no tasogare no sugata no mama de
ai ni kita no yume no ato samenai mama de

kasanatta te no ondo ga
sugu ni tsuujiatteru
motto mite mitaku naru

me no mae de hirogaridasu
ima made mita koto nai you na
hajimete te ni fureru you na
sora ya ai o tabanete tsurete yukou

watashi wa omou kara anata wa soba ni ite
irodotta hibi o sou sugoshitsudzukeru no

kisu o shita no toumei no watashi no mama de
kizu o mita no omoide mo shiranai mama de

tomadou sono hitomi ga

nakushita mono ni mou te o futte sayonara o

anata ni aeru kara watashi wa mitsumeteru
futari no tsugi ga mou me no mae de ugokidasu

watashi wa omou kara anata wa soba ni ite
Inside my eyes, you’re smiling
Connected eye to eye, we’re already seeing a far-off future

Because I think of you, you’re at my side
I’ll continue to spend these painted days like that

I had a dream – in the shape of twilight
I came to see you – un-awakened from the remainder of my dream

The temperature of our overlapped hands
will soon be communicated
I now want to try and see more

It’ll start to spread out before your eyes
like something you haven’t seen ’til now
like touching for the first time
Tying up the sky and my love, I’ll take them along

Because I think of you, you’re at my side
I’ll continue to spend these painted days like that

I kissed you – in my transparent way
I saw your scars – without even knowing your memories

Those confused eyes
are carrying something
Waves are astir on your cheeks

I’ll clumsily paper over it
Stop, that makes no sense
Don’t worry, it’s just fine
Tying up lies and the past, I’ll take them out

Look at me
at any time
Forgive me

Because this is where I’ll be able to see you, I’m here
Waving goodbye already to the things I lost

Because I’ll be able to meet you, I’m watching
What’s next for both of us is already coming alive before our eyes

Because I think of you, you’re at my side

Info: Ukigumo, Tokyo Jihen's second guitarist, wrote the words and music and arranged this song, which was performed by Rie Tomosaka.
