== Lyrics ==
=== Japanese ===
<pre>抱きしめて　抱きしめて　強く　強く抱きしめてよ 
君に　逢いたくなって　僕は　飛び出したから 
伝えたい　伝えたい　思い　思い焦がれるけど 
君は知らないふりで　瞳を閉じた

深い傷跡に　溶け込んだ　姿を　追いかけては　今も 
Shining　君がいない 
Distance　悲しい夜 
Falling　気付いた　In your eyes

抱きしめて　抱きしめて　強く　強く抱きしめてよ 
君に　逢いたくなって　僕は　飛び出したから 
伝えたい　伝えたい　思い　思い焦がれるけど 
君は知らないふりで　瞳を閉じた

Diamond Dust</pre>

<pre>dakishimete dakishimete tsuyoku tsuyoku dakishimete yo

fukai kizuato ni tokekonda sugata wo oikakete ima mo
Shining kimi ga inai
Distance kanashii yoru
Falling kizuita In your eyes

dakishimete dakishimete tsuyoku tsuyoku dakishimete yo
kimi ni aitakunatte boku ha tobidashita kara
tsutaetai tsutaetai omoi omoi kogareru kedo
kimi ha shiranai furi de me wo tojitara

=== English ===
<pre>Hold me, hold me tightly. Tightly hold on to me
I want to meet you, I’ll fly out to you
I want to tell, I want to tell my feelings. Feelings of yearning.
You can’t play dumb by closing your eyes

Even as the deep scars melt away, I’m still chasing your form
(Shining) you’re not here
(Distance) this sad night
(Falling) to be noticed in your eyes

Hold me, hold me tightly. Tightly hold on to me
I want to meet you, I’ll fly out to you
I want to tell, I want to tell my feelings. Feelings of yearning.
You can’t play dumb by closing your eyes

Diamond Dust</pre>
