Original Japanese 君に嫌われた君の　沈黙が聴こえた 君の目の前に居るのに　遠くから聴こえた 発信源を探したら　辿り着いた水溜まり これが人の心なら　深さなど解らない 呼ばれたのが　僕でも僕じゃないとしても どうでもいい事だろう　問題は別にあるんだ 息は持つだろうか　深い心の底まで 君が沈めた君を　見つけるまで潜るつもりさ 苦しさと比例して　僕らは近付ける 再び呼吸をする時は　君と一緒に 響く救難信号　深い心の片隅 こんなところにいたの　側においで　逃げなくていいよ 触れた発信源に　届けるよ　口付け 君から預かってきたんだよ 勇気はあるだろうか　一度手を繋いだら 離さないまま外まで　連れていくよ　信じていいよ 息は持つだろうか　眩しい心の外まで 再び呼吸をする時は　君と一緒に

English translation I heard the silence of the you who was hated by yourself Even though I was right in front of you, it sounded like it came from far away When I searched for the source, I arrived at a puddle If this is a person's heart, I have no way of knowing its depth Whether it was me you called for or not It doesn't really matter, the issues lies elsewhere Can I hold my breath long enough to reach the bottom of your deep heart? I intend to dive until I find the you who sank yourself The more painful it gets, the closer we'll become And when we breathe again, it will be together with you A rescue signal echoes from a deep corner of your heart Is this where you've been? Come closer, you don't have to run anymore I'll deliver a kiss to the source I touched The one that you entrusted to me Do you have the courage? Once we hold hands I won't let go and will lead you outside, just trust me Can you hold your breath long enough to reach the brilliant world outside? And when we breathe again, it will be together with you

Original Japanese 君に嫌われた君の　沈黙が聴こえた 君の目の前に居るのに　遠くから聴こえた 発信源を探したら　辿り着いた水溜まり これが人の心なら　深さなど解らない 呼ばれたのが　僕でも僕じゃないとしても どうでもいい事だろう　問題は別にあるんだ 息は持つだろうか　深い心の底まで 君が沈めた君を　見つけるまで潜るつもりさ 苦しさと比例して　僕らは近付ける 再び呼吸をする時は　君と一緒に 僕もまた同じ様に　沈黙を聴かれた 君もまた同じ様に　飛び込んでくれるなら 口付けを預け合おう　無くさずに持っていこう 君に嫌われた君へ　代わりに届けるよ 誰もが違う生き物　他人同士だから 寂しさを知った時は　温もりに気付けるんだ 勇気はあるだろうか　一度心覗いたら 君が隠した痛み　ひとつ残らず知ってしまうよ 傷付ける代わりに　同じだけ傷付こう 分かち合えるもんじゃないのなら　二倍あればいい 怖いのさ　僕も君も 自分を見るのも見せるのも　或いは誰かを覗くのも でも　精一杯送っていた　沈めた自分から 祈る様なメーデー 響く救難信号　深い心の片隅 こんなところにいたの　側においで　逃げなくていいよ 触れた発信源に　届けるよ　口付け 君から預かってきたんだよ 勇気はあるだろうか　一度手を繋いだら 離さないまま外まで　連れていくよ　信じていいよ 息は持つだろうか　眩しい心の外まで 再び呼吸をする時は　君と一緒に

English translation I heard the silence of the you who was hated by yourself Even though I was right in front of you, it sounded like it came from far away When I searched for the source, I arrived at a puddle If this is a person's heart, I have no way of knowing its depth Whether it was me you called for or not It doesn't really matter, the issues lies elsewhere Can I hold my breath long enough to reach the bottom of your deep heart? I intend to dive until I find the you who sank yourself The more painful it gets, the closer we'll become And when we breathe again, it will be together with you I too heard that silence again in the same way If you can take the plunge again in the same way Let's leave our kisses with each other and never lose them And I'll deliver them to your self-hating self We're all different beings, all fellow strangers When we know loneliness, that's when we know warmth Do you have the courage to peer into the heart To know the full extent of the pain that was hidden Instead of scarring, let's just leave the same scars If we can't see eye to eye then double is fine We're afraid, you and I Of looking at yourself, showing yourself, or being seen by another But our sunken selves sent out with all their heart Like a prayer, Mayday A rescue signal echoes from a deep corner of your heart Is this where you've been? Come closer, you don't have to run anymore I'll deliver a kiss to the source I touched The one that you entrusted to me Do you have the courage? Once we hold hands I won't let go and will lead you outside, just trust me Can you hold your breath long enough to reach the brilliant world outside? And when we breathe again, it will be together with you
