|kan1=
狭い空の端に　一番星がきらり
星を眺めるには　世界は明るすぎる
|kan2=
帰り道　忘れた　機会仕掛けのかみさま
壊れたオルゴールの様に　同じ事を繰り返す
|kan3=
忘れられない　背中には
あれも　これも　思い出す
【始まりから　終わりまで】
|kan4=
黒のクレヨンが　動き出す
いつか　いつか　笑顔ですら　おぼろげに
【音を立てて　崩れ出す】
|kan5=
心の扉に　鍵をかけて　歪んだ視界に　夢見る
見上げた夜空は　星が綺麗だった
【どこまでも　限りなく】
|kan6=
感情は枯れ枯れ　涙はハレバレ
しょうがない事と　自分に嘘つく
一人きりは嫌だ　二人がいいんだ
動き始めたら　歯車は止まらない
|kan7=
追いかけたくて　追いかけられなくて
【知らず　知らず　世界を越えて】
箱庭の中
|kan8=
綺麗な機械に　取り囲まれ　汚れた空気に　溺れる
都会の夜空は　星が見えなかった
【眠らない　街の中】
|kan9=
カボチャの馬車　白いドレス　白馬の王子も
ここには無い　どこにも無い　有限の愛は
使い切り　使い捨て　懐かしさの　片道キップね
|kan10=
別れた寂しさも　いつか消えてなくなる
願えば叶う世界には　二度と戻れないから
|kan11=
彩る景色も　澄んだ川も　今の私にはいらない
見上げた夜空は　星がきれいだった
【どこまでも　限りなく】
|kan12=
全てが現実　消えはしない【行き方も】
帰る道すら　失くして【失くして】
つぎはぎだらけな【無花果　基督も】
全ては幻　今日も話し始める
|kan13=
星がきれいだった

|eng1=
At the edge of a narrow sky, the first star appears
This world is far too bright for gazing up at the stars
|eng2=
Having forgotten the way home, a mechanical god
Repeats its actions over and over, like a broken music box
|eng3=
Along with that back I cannot forget
I remember this thing and that
[From beginning to end]
|eng4=
But over it a black crayon moves along
One day, one day, even that smile will be vague to me
[Crumbling with a crash]
|eng5=
Locking the door to my heart in my twisted vision I dream
Looking up at the night sky, the stars were beautiful
[Spread out, limitlessly]
|eng6=
My emotions dried up, and my tears cleared away
I lie to myself, as if there were no helping it
I hate being alone, I need another to be with me
Once I started moving, the gears just won’t stop
|eng7=
I want to chase after them, but cannot
[Unknowingly, unknowingly, reaching beyond the world]
In this miniature garden
|eng8=
Surrounded by beautiful machines, drowning in the polluted air
I could not see stars in the city’s night sky
[From a city that never sleeps]
|eng9=
No pumpkin carriage, white dress, nor prince on a white horse
They are not here, not anywhere – Instead love has its limits,
Love is used up and expended, a one way ticket to nostalgia
|eng10=
The loneliness I feel from our parting will one day diasappear
As I cannot ever return to that world where wishes come true
|eng11=
Colorful landscapes and clear rivers, I need them no more
The stars in the night sky I looked up at were beautiful
[Spread out, limitlessly]
|eng12=
Everything is reality, it will not disappear [Having lost]
Having lost even the way back [Even my way]
Everything filled with makeshifts [Both figs and Christ]
An illusion, again today I will tell my tale
|eng13=
The stars were beautiful…
