(ENGLISH)
Repaint tomorrow into today since the beginning stars with pain and tears
The heartbeats that pierce through my scattered loneliness are the depths of uncertainty
"Where I am now is a game that only wears you down"
If so, I should win by only laughing
Let's go beyond the night
Soon, I will lose everything, even my words, but blues play on
Throw out the part of me that does nothing but dream
Until it sets ablaze this body that remains after fleeting moment and eternity have disappeared
Right now, just like I wanted
(JAPANESE)
ashita wo ima ni nurikaeteku hajimari wa itami to namida
chirabaru kodoku tsuranuiteku kodou wa mujyou no kanata
"ima iru kono basho wa suriheru dake no game"
sorenara ore wa tada warau dake de kateru hazu
yoru wo koete ike
ima ni kotoba mo nanimo nakunatte kakedasu blues ga
yume miru dake no jibun wo ashita
ima ni setsuna mo towa mo kiesatte nokosareta kono mi ga
nozomi no mama ni moeagaru made

- Lyrics by Raj Ramayya
I've found truth to be
I've found rivers there
and the world keeps on spinning, round and round
so I lay still and wait
will we ever have the words
will we ever meet again
all the worries, will slip right away
and even though, all of the clouds disguise the sky
and the reasons aren't clear why
when will we ever find clues to guide us?
where will we ever find words at all?
I've found it hurts in here
I've found space to feel
and the worlds keeps on spinning, round and round
so I lay still and wait
will we ever have the words
will we ever know the pain?
will we ever be back here again?
and even though, all of the clouds disguise the sky
and the reasons aren't clear why
when will we ever find clues to guide us?
where will we ever find words at all?
when will we ever find words to guide us?
where will we ever find words at all?

RAIN, HERE COMES THE RAIN'
RIGHT FROM THE MOMENT I MET YOU,
I KNEW THAT I COULD NEVER FORGET EVERYTHING THAT KEPT,
HOPE THERE BETWEEN US AND PULLED US THROUGH
RIGHT FROM THE MOMENT I SAW YOU,
I KNOW THAT I JUST HAD TO HAVE YOU HERE FOREVER,
GIRL SAY THAT WE WILL NEVER COME APART AGAINST THE ODDS
RAIN, HERE COMES THE RAIN
LIVING A LIE IT NEVER LEAVES US ALONE,
WE WERE LIVING TO LOVE WHATS LEFT BETWEEN US GONE
WAITED SO LONG TO SEE THE LIGHT THAT SHINES
AND GUIDE ME THROUGH THOSE LONG LOST LONELY NIGHTS
RAIN, HERE COMES THE RAIN, HERE IT COMES AGAIN
STRAIGHT FROM THE INSTANT I FOUND YOU,
I KNEW THAT TIME COULD NEVER CHANGE,
LOVE LASTS WITHIN US AND HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL PULLED US THROUGH
RAIN, HERE COMES THE RAIN, HERE IT COMES AGAIN
