Inside the cage of my soul,
ah, something is happening.
Is it a dream or reality?
I just can't understand why.
In the breath I draw in,
is it because you live there?
I was yearning and restless,
once again, I don't know why.
Oh, that's enough!
What will become of me now?
Don't knock me down with your smile.
Oh... oh...
Step aside, distance!
I am soaring into the sky.
All over my heart,
you spray a magical drizzle.
If I come along
with you, wouldn't that be fine?
Oh, just like before,
can't things go back to how they were?
Borrowing my dreams,
won't your eyes
see them, won't they see them?
Will this distance without you
not fade, not fade away?
Drifting away from myself,
where on earth am I going?
Why do I keep looking
and searching for yesterday?
Inside the cage of my soul,
ah, something is happening.
Is it a dream or reality?
I just can't understand why.
In the breath I draw in,
is it because you live there?
I was yearning and restless,
once again, I don't know why.
Oh, that's enough!
What will become of me now?
Don't knock me down with your smile.
Oh... oh...
Step aside, distance!
I am soaring into the sky.
All over my heart,
you spray a magical drizzle.
You make me feel light, so light,
with your gaze.
You drive me crazy, so crazy,
with your words.
You make me feel light, so light,
with your gaze.
You drive me crazy, so crazy,
with your words.
