宇多田(UTADA HIKARU) Lyrics

Miraa ga utsushidasu maboroshi wo ki ni shinagara
While keeping an eye on the illusion reflected in the mirror

Itsu no ma ni ka sokudo ageteru no sa
Before I know it, I'm increasing my speed

Doko e ittemo ii to iwareru to
No matter where I go, people tell me it's okay

Hanpa na ganbou ni wa hyoushiki mo zenbu haiiro da
For half-hearted ambitions, all expressions are grey

Honoo no yurameki koyoi mo yume wo egaku
The flicker of flames tonight also paints a dream

Anata no fudesaki kawaite imasen ka
Doesn't the tip of your pen dry out?

Aoi sora ga mienu nara aoi kasa hirogete
If you can't see the blue sky, open a blue umbrella

Ii ja nai ka
Isn't it good?

Kyanbasu wa kimi no mono
The campus is yours

Shiroi haba wa akirameta toki ni dake kazasu no
The white flag is only raised when you give up

Ima wa makkai ni sasou tougyuushi no you ni
Now, like a red cape luring a bull

Karaa mo iroaseru keikoutou no moto
Underneath a traffic light where even the colors fade

Shirokuro no chesu boodo no ue de kimi ni deatta
I met you on the black and white chessboard

Bokura wa hitotoki mayoinagara yorisotte
We huddled together for a moment while lost

Are kara hitotsuki oboete imasu ka
Do you remember anything since then?

Orenji iro no yuuhi wo tonari de miteru dake de
Just watching next to you the orange sunset

Yokatta no ni na kuchi wa wazawai no moto
It was good, but words can be the source of trouble

Kuroi fuku wa shisha ni inoru toki ni dake kiru no
The black clothes are only worn when praying for the dead

Waza to makka ni nokoshita ruuju no ato
The trace left by the rouge is intentionally and brightly red

Mou jibun ni wa
As for myself now

Yume n nai e shika kakenai to iu nara
If I can't paint anything other than an unrealistic dream

Nuritsubushite yo kyanbasu o nando demo
I'll keep painting over the campus again and again

Ima no watashi wa anata no shiranai iro
The color I am now is unknown to you
