When we repainted the tall tall image
there was an exciting fantasy bursting off the page,
on that map that ends before the coming future. *1
go above and beyond expectations, continuing to hide our wounds
we're in a dream,
feeling the age whipping by on our skin,
worrying which way to go, we stand paralyzed.

one day I'll be able to change
anything in this uncertain universe, whatever desinty awaits.

I want to feel you next to me, closer to me
so I'll scatter all that lay ahead of me
I want to play it till morning, never leaving your side
I wonder if I'll be able to find you again somewhere along this dream?

When I was a little girl, I imagined how we'd eventually end up
amidst that silence wildly filling the air
before we knew it we'd given up our freedom for something else
looking back, we were unable to move on to tomorrow.

I gently shut my oddly uncertain confidence in my heart
it aches, even if I'm spurned by this modern age.

I want to feel you next to me, closer to me
I think maybe now I could make it without giving in
I want to play it till morning, never leaving your side
above and beyond my imagination,
I wonder if today I can find the speed.

the answers is always above the clouds, I want to dream

I want to feel you next to me, closer to me
so I'll scatter all that lay ahead of me

I want to play it till morning, never leaving your side
even when I redo this image today, I lose everything
I want to play it till morning, never leaving your side
because today I'll achieve the speed, when I repaint this image.

Translator's Notes: A *.

* 1 - The image here is pretty simple. You see the fantasy future hitomi is imagining, she can't see but it's much bigger than the map.
