Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shashin wo nozoku tabi itsumo omoi ga mune wo shimetsukeru
Nakushita mono te ni suru tame mogakitsuzuketeta
Genjitsu kara nigeru you ni tsuyosa wo motometa
Touch the shining star hikari shinkirou no naka e
Hakanaku kiete itta sayonara mo iezu
Ushinatta mono wa nani? egao no oku de
Kanashimi ga Taking my heart
Kizuna ni fureta toki sore ga nan na no ka mada wakarazu ni
Chikazukeba chikazuku hodo ni kagayaki wa mashite iku no sa
"Mou akiramero" sasayaku koe kokoro ga yureteru
Dou sureba ii? Mayoinagara senaka wo azuketa
Catch a shooting star tsuyoku mae ni susumu no sa
Samayou michi wo terasu hikari shinjitai
Bring a lonely night to a stop sono saki ni wa
Souzou koeta mirai matte iru n' da
Ima naraba Catching a star
Kabe ni butsukattari machigaeta toki ni koso
Hitotsu datta hoshi ga tsunagari irodoru seiza ni kawaru
Catch a shooting star yatto mitsukerareta no sa
Kakegaenai nakama to arata na mirai ga
Stop the time and one more time mamotte iku no sa
Mou nido to mayowanai deaeta kizuna
Hatasu no sa Catching a star
