English

Walking aimlessly along the winter beach,
The two of us collect shells
On a few of the benches along the top of the bridge,
People listen to the neverending sound of the waves

The things we want to say
Swirl around inside our bodies
But being unable to put them into words
Actually isn't even a bother anymore

(WE WANT LOVE)

Even though I can see fatigue and loneliness from our hanging heads,
There's nothing that can be done now
We can't just let go no matter how long it's dragged on
So we keep suppressing these dimming feelings the best we can

Days like those from the past continue to come and go
As we drink wine, we keep dancing together
I sit on the couch in your room
But it's definitely not the same as it was before

Let's walk away for a little while
So that we won't get hurt
Let's reduce our words for a little while
So that we won't lose what's important to us

(IN YOUR LOVE)

A cold wind is closing in on us
As if it can see through our sputtering thoughts
Puzzled and meaningless smiles on our faces
Become replaced by yet another bewildered feeling

Painting a tiny picture on top of the shell,
I bury it along with our memories in the sand
The echoes of distant bells are sounding
To signal to us both the end and its beginning

Some things have been broken for the sake of shaping our love
We've known it wouldn't work
All because we were so in love, or at least in love with the idea

(WHAT IS LOVE?)

Maybe we really are after the same dream
The thought of not wanting love anymore is attacking my heart
Due to the pain, I mutter to myself, "I don't need love anymore"
I'm not just swimming too deep in my own pride, right?

On that paved street in the middle of the night
You suddenly slipped your hand into my arm; you really are beautiful
In that moment, I looked quietly to the sky above
It was the sky of the day when love ceased to be
