English translation
Hey hey I’m listening [1]
Again, you are saying words I don’t understand
They come out and disappear
Why is this night so long?
Melted in the gentle morning In a sea of milk,
We lost our boundaries
I can’t see the end of the fog In the middle of it,
I’m looking for my role
Irreplaceable
Even if I lose everything I want you to choose it
Hey hey I’m listening
I’m still searching for the reason I’m here
Hey hey Remember? [2]
The heavy door with the aged, rusty keyhole
When the warped heart
wouldn’t budge as hoped Did you cry, I wonder?
The mysterious spell that I remember from when I was small
Became just ordinary words
In a room where I can’t do anything
I look for tranquility
To hold onto only the things
that are certain When is it okay to realize?
Hey hey I’m listening
I’m still searching for the only reason I’m here
Who decides what is true worth?
Can you say that this love?
What should I become to be able to stay here?
The passion that has nowhere to go wandered
It has cooled
If you are met with affection again
Will my voice reach you?
I can’t see the end of the fog In the middle of it,
I’m looking for my role
Irreplaceable
Even if I lose everything I want you to choose it
Hey hey I’m listening [1]
I’m still searching for the reason I’m here
Japanese
ねえ ねえ きこえてる
また わからない言葉 話してる
浮かんでは 消えてく
どうしてこんなに 夜が長いのかな
優しい 朝に 溶かした ミルクの海で
ふたり 境目をなくした
果ては見えない 霧の中
役割りを探している
代わりのいない
何もかも 失くしても 選んでほしい
ねえ ねえ きこえてる
まだ ここにいるための意味 探してる
ねえ ねえ 覚えてる
重いドア 古びて錆び付いた鍵穴
ぶかぶかのこころじゃ
思い通りに動かなくて 泣いたのかな
小さな頃に覚えたふしぎな呪文は
ただの言葉に変わってた
何もできない 部屋の中
安らぎを探している
間違いのないことだけを
手に取るには いつ気付けばいい
ねえ ねえ きこえてる
まだ ここにいるだけの理由 探してる
正当な評価をだれがつけるの
これが愛だと君は言えるの
何になれたらここにいてもいいの
行くあてのない情熱は さまよって
冷たくなった
また優しさに出会えたら
この声は届くのかな
果ては見えない 霧の中
役割りを探している
代わりはいない
何もかも 失くしても 選んでほしい
ねえ ねえ きこえてる
まだここにいるための意味探してる
