Romanization

Leaving on that 7:30 train, I don’t know how far I’ll go
Round in circles just as long as I would tell you,
I am alone but we could be
Tell me something I haven’t heard before, except for when you shut me down
Remember when we stayed up all night drinking whiskey
I know that you’ve been waiting
I’ll see you on the other side

Oh! We’re better off alone, I told you once before
So donn’t knock on my door, you’ll see it if you will
But I don’t wanna know.
I’m feeling so resentful

I wanna fly
Fly me up so high
Take me to the skies
I won’t get by
Itsumademo kimi no koe ga boku no kokoro de hibiku
If you can’t believe me take me home

Kimi no chiisana te wo semete ato sukoshi
Tsuyoku nigirishimeteita nara
Yukkuri ashita wo matterareta no ni
Namida no wake shitteita kedo ima de wa mou ososugiru kara
Sore wa sugiyuku keshiki no you ni

I wanna fly
Fly me up so high
Take me to the skies
I won’t get by
Itsumademo kimi no koe wa boku no michi ni aru sa [1]
If you can’t believe me take me home

Everybody’s talking always up and groovin’ come on up
And join up with me yeah!
Always on and dancin’ always on the move and,
Come on everybody won’t you come with me?

Cause I wanna fly
Fly me up so high
Take me to the skies
I won’t get by
Everybody needs to go beyond the seas
If you can’t believe me take me home

cause I wanna fly, I wanna fly, take me high
cause I wanna fly, I wanna fly, take me high!

I wanna fly
Fly me up so high
Take me to the skies
I won’t get by
Itsumademo kimi no koe wa boku no michi ni aru sa
If you can’t believe me take me home

I wanna fly
Fly me up so high
Take me to the skies
I won’t get by
Your voice will always echo in my heart
If you can’t believe me take me home

If, afterwards, I could at least
Hold your small hand tightly
Though I could have waited in no hurry for tomorrow
I knew the reason for those tears, but it’s already too late
So they pass by like the fading scenery

I wanna fly
Fly me up so high
Take me to the skies
I won’t get by
Your voice is always on my path [1]
If you can’t believe me take me home

Everybody’s talking always up and groovin’ come on up
And join up with me yeah!

Come on everybody won’t you come with me?

I wanna fly
Fly me up so high
Take me to the skies
I won’t get by
Your voice is always on my path
If you can’t believe me take me home

いつまでも君の声が僕の心で響く

君の小さな手をせめてあと少し
強く握りしめていたなら
ゆっくり明日を待ってられたのに
涙の訳知っていたけど今ではもう遅すぎるから
それな過ぎ行く景色のように

[1] Kimi no koe wa boku no michi ni aru, literally, “your voice is in/on my road.” My interpretation is that, because the voice is always there, wherever the speaker walks, that is why they want to fly so high, away from it. However, there isn’t a clear indication that the voice being on the speaker’s path is necessarily detested, so I kept with the more ambiguous, and literal, translation of the phrase.
