I want to see that world
Hey, are you not here anymore?
This world This voice
I wonder if you found my love
“I’m fine” I want to say
When I open my mouth, nothing happens
Will you say “I’m fine”?
One two Even now I wonder if it’s not too late
Dear God, I want to send just one last letter
Tell me, I want to hear your story
Hey, are you happy right now?
Can you hear my voice from here?
I want to make anyone smile
But I have no smile
One more time Once again
Ah, I wanted to meet you
Is it alright if I roll again today?
What I want to say is, “Thank you”
I want to send this letter
Hey, don’t forget to write back
I wonder if you like this letter
I wonder if you understand these words
I don’t know this girl
I became the girl from your song
Do you love this girl?
One two I wonder if everyone is this girl
Is life unhappy? Or are you unlucky?
The upside-down girl Are you also lonely?
What you want to say to the spinning ending world
Is what anyone wants to hear
My story is also unknown
Is that so? That’s so
Hey, did you see me from there?
Did you say “farewell”?
I want to make you smile
But I still have no smile
Wake up from a dream!
Ah, I wanted to talk about love
My words are always echoes of a quiet voice
On the day I started rolling, I sang these songs with you
I wonder if I’ll get used to pain
I wonder if you also loved this world
Hey, did you sing your favorite song?
Have you succeeded? Have you failed?
Did you make someone smile?
For you I smiled
One more time Once again
Ah, I wanted to dance with you
Is it alright if I roll again today?
What I want to say is, “I miss you”
