Manacles

Lyrics: sheena & Tomiko Van
Music: Jin Nakamura
Arrangement: Reo Nishikawa

People coming and going, shadows looking down
I try to surrender myself to the flowing time
I even lost sight of the truth
And buried the gaps of my heart with tears

Because I hide these endlessly overflowing feelings
And pretend to be strong
I'm afraid of stretching out my hands

But with you here
Even if I'm hurt, even if it hurts
Now is the right time
So if I could be honest
I'd fly right into
Your chest

Silence and emptiness...
I'm seeking your warmth
I know I could get it back
If I just put it into words, but...

I wander alone in this sleepless city
Yeah, like a lost child
Unable to look back

You were there for me
At a distance I could reach if I stretched out my hand
Now I'm embraced strongly
By tenderness
I'm falling into
Your chest

You can just tie me up
Until I can't even breath
But when it's still not enough
Just say that one phrase, "I love you"...

But with you here
Even if I'm hurt, even if it hurts
Now is the right time
So if I could be honest
I'd fly right into
Your chest

You were there for me
At a distance I could reach if I stretched out my hand
Now I'm embraced strongly
By tenderness
I'm falling into
Your chest

Yukikau hito utsumuku kage
Nagareru toki ni mi wo makasete miru
Shinjitsu sae miushinatte
Kokoro no sukima namida de umeta

Tomedonaku afureru omoi wa kakushite
Sou tsuyogaru dake de
Te wo nobasu koto mo kowakute

Anata ga iru dake de
Kizutsuitemo kurushikutemo

Seijaku toka munshisa toka...
Anata no nukumori wo motomete iru
Kotoba ni sae sureba sore de
Torimodoseru to shitte iru kedo

Nemuranai kono machi hitori de samayoi
Sou mayoigo no you

Isso atashi wo shibatte ii yo
Iki mo dekinai hodo ni
Soredemo tarinai toki niwa
Tada hitokoto dake "Aishiteru" to...

Anata ga iru dake de

Anata ga ite kureta
Te wo nobaseba todoku kyori ni

Tsuyoku dakarete ima
Kuzureochiteku yo
Sono mune de
