Lyrics

Game Size

I open my eyes to another day
To things that I have known, things that happen everyday

I feel there's a shadow creeping up on me
The wind blows through the streets
Telling me something I don't see

Draw the line, (and) turn the time
Taking back what was mine
Now I could change almost anything
 
Hold tight, search for the light
Do I know what's wrong or right?
Put the pieces back where they belong

The air is still. A path appears.
The choice is clear. I'm finally here. 

Safely back in your arms...

Japanese Translation


また新しい日が始まった知っている事ばかりの、いつも通りの一日

でも影が忍び寄って来ている気がするんだ
風が道を通り過ぎ行く僕に見えない物を教えているみたいに・・・

ラインを引き、時間を回せ僕の物を取り返すんだ
今なら何だって変えられるかもしれない

しっかり掴まって光を探せ
僕は自分を信じていいのだろうか
散らばった欠片を元に戻せ

空気は止まり、道が現れる
選ぶのは一つ。やっとたどり着いたんだ

君の腕の中へ・・・

Long Version


I open my eyes to another day
To things that I have known,
things that happen everyday.
I feel there's a shadow creeping up on me
The wind blows through the streets
Telling me something I don't see

Draw the line, (and) turn the time
Taking back what was mine
Now I could change almost anything
Hold tight, search for the light
Do I know what's wrong or right
Put the pieces back where they belong

The days and the months are drifting by
As though they didn't notice seasons changing in the breeze
They all look the same but I sense something's there
Waiting around the path
Revealing a truth that I will defend

Draw the line, (and) turn the time
Taking back what was mine
Now I could change almost anything
Hold tight, search for the light
Do I know what's wrong or right?
Put the pieces back where they belong

In my heavy heart I see the truth,
no scar ever heals
They never fade away
Each and every one...

It's going to be all right
Light comes after every night

Draw the line, (and) turn the time
Taking back what was mine
Now I could change almost anything
Hold tight, search for the light
Do I know what's wrong or right
Put the pieces back where they belong

The air is still,
A path appears,
The choice is clear,
I'm finally here.

Safely back in your arms...
