Japanese

待ち合わせは2時間前で
此処に独り  それが答えでしょ

街ゆく人  流れる雲
僕のことを嘲笑ってた

それは簡単で  とても困難で
認めることで前に進めるのに
信じられなくて  信じたくなくて
君の中できっと僕は道化師なんでしょ

回って  回って  回り疲れて
息が  息が切れたの
そう  これが悲しい僕の末路だ
君に辿り着けないままで

※ 僕を乗せて地球は回る

* 回って  回って  回り疲れて
  息が  息が止まるの
  そう  僕は君が望むピエロだ
  君が思うままに  操ってよ

Romaji

machiawase wa nijikan mae de

sore wa kantan de totemo konnan de
mitomeru koto de mae ni susumeru no ni
shinjirarenakute shinjitakunakute
kimi no naka de kitto boku wa doukeshi nan desho

mawatte mawatte mawari tsukarete

sou kore ga kanashii boku no matsuro da

* mawatte mawatte mawari tsukarete
  iki ga iki ga tomaru no
  sou boku wa kimi ga nozomu PIERROT da
  kimi ga omou mama ni ayatsutte yo

English

We were supposed to meet two hours ago Now here I am alone, I guess I have my answer The people on the street, the drifting clouds They all mocked me It's easy but still so hard If I accepted it, I could move forward But I can't believe it, and I don't want to Inside you must think I'm just a clown Round and round, I'm tired of going round I'm-- I'm out of breath It's sad, but this is how it ends for me Forever unable to reach you ※ The earth goes around carrying me * Round and round, I'm tired of going round My breath, My breath stops I'm the clown you want me to be Wind me up however you please
