Kanji:

追いかけて追いかけて

何度 見失っても 君らしく

思い描いてた理想に

いま 届いたような

そんな気がして 目覚めたんだ

高鳴る 鼓動はまだ残ってる

扉を開ければ 君がいたかな

言葉の海にすぐに沈み込むけど

いつか出逢えるなら

それだけを信じるよ

追いかけて追いかけて

何度 見失っても

こんな僕でいられるのは

君が笑って 僕を照らして

乾いた心が覚えてる

光があるから

夢に希望の雨が降って

咲いてしまえるように

僕らもまた 始まるなら

本音さえ風に乗せてしまうけど

きみがくれた抱えきれない想いだけが

いつも背中を押してくれるよ

追いかけて追いかけて

何度 見失っても

こんな僕でいられるのは

君が笑って 僕を照らして

乾いた心が覚えてる

きっと

押し寄せる悲しみにも

近づく別れにも慣れたように

花の名前もきっと

きっかけになるんだろう

また思い出してるんだ

消して書いてを繰り返して

何度だって間違えても

それでも僕らしくいたいから

追いかけて追いかけて

何度 見失っても

こんな僕でいられるのは

君はいつも僕を照らす

乾いた心で探してる

光があるから

lalalalala~

English:

Keep chasing, keep chasing,

No matter how many times you lose sight of it… in your own unique way.

It’s as if the ideals I’ve been forming,

All just came together;

That’s how I felt when I awoke.

A raised heartbeat still remains in my chest;

If I’d opened that door, would you have been standing there?

I always seem to drown in the meaning of words,

But if we can meet again someday,

That’s all I’d choose to believe.

Keep chasing, keep chasing,

No matter how many times you lose sight of it,

‘Cause the reason I can remain who I am,

Is that I remember how empty my heart felt,

Until you smiled, shining upon me,

And that light is right here.

If, like a rain of hope falling upon our dreams,

And causing them to bloom,

We could only begin again…

Even my true feelings are carried away by the wind,

But the feelings you gave me, more than I can even bear,

Are what always end up giving me the push I need.

Keep chasing, keep chasing,

No matter how many times you lose sight of it,

‘Cause the reason I can remain who I am,

Is that I remember how empty my heart felt,

Until you smiled, shining upon me…

Surely…

Just as I’ve grown used to the sadness that closes in on me,

And the impending partings of ways,

Even the names of flowers,

Will become a trigger;

I’m getting the memories back again.

Erase and re-write, again and again,

No matter how many times I mess up,

‘Cause I want to continue being myself.

Keep chasing, keep chasing,

No matter how many times you lose sight of it,

‘Cause the reason I can remain who I am,

Is that you always shine on me,

And I’m searching with an empty heart,

By that light.
