The night's light dyes the city until it's inside of me
I was looking at the swarm of people seeing off the last train
My past self was reflected by a man who was my height
This age when I can't innocently believe in people
while I'm shaking
if there's no pure love in this world, I'll abandon it

If you look at the torn night sky, it's strangely sad
I only have half a body, but I'll do it with just my spirit

I can't live without you anymore
so, I realized that, I wonder when
The tearful night being gazed upon
I want to hold it tightly
I don't need more sadness so I dried those injured tears
let's transcend time, close your eyes
it looks like you're about to break and I'll embrace you

The clockwork oranges bleed over my eyelids

I look at your sulking sleeping face, I search for your heart but
even the occasional fight makes a good spice, don't you think?

I can't live without you anymore
so, I realized that, I wonder when
The tearful night being gazed upon
I want to hold it tightly
One by one I'm cutting these cells into your initials
the two of us looking to the sky of infinity
I want to give you a white kiss

We all of us swim in the ocean of meetings and partings
with each feeling, while writhing, while hurting

The night's light dyes the city until it's inside of me
A green butterfly dyes the city, wrapping the two of us

The night's light dyes the city
A green butterfly dyes the city

Yoru no hikari ga machi wo someteku boku no naka made mo
saishuudensha miokuru hito no mure nagameteta
kako no jibun wo setake no niteiru hito ni utsushitari
mujyaki ni hito wo shinjirarenai toki yurenagara
pura na ai nado kono yo ni nai to akiramekaketeta

Hanareta yozora wo miru to myou ni setsunakunari
karada ga hanbun dake ni natta ki sae suru yo

Mou kimi nashi jya ikirarenai so kidzuiteta itsu kara darou
mitsumerarete nakisou na yoru wa kitsuku dakishimeteitai
mou kanashimi wa iranai kara so kizutsuita namida wo fuite
toki wo koeyou hitomi wo tojite oresou na kimi no kata wo daku yo

Tokeishikake no orenjitachi ga mabuta ni nijimu yo

Futekusareta negao mite kokoro saguru keredo
kenka mo tama nya ii supaisu ni naru yo ne sou desho

Mou kimi nashi jya ikirarenai so kidzuiteta itsu kara darou
mitsumerarete nakisou na yoru wa kitsuku dakishimeteitai
kono saibou no hitotsu hitotsu kimi no inisharu kizumareteyuku
mugen no sora wo futari de miage shiroi kuchidzuke wo shitai

Hito wa daremo ga mina deai waka no umi wo mogakinagara kizutsukinagara
sorezore no omoi dake oyogu

Yoru no hikari ga machi wo someteku boku no naka made mo
midori no chou ga machi wo someteku futari wo tsutsunde

Yoru no hikari ga machi wo someteku boku no naka made mo
midori no chou ga machi wo someteku futari wo tsutsumi

Yoru no hikari ga machi wo someteku
midori no chou ga machi wo someteku

夜の光が街を染めてく　僕の中までも
最終電車見送る人の群れ　眺めてた
過去の自分を　背丈の似ている彼に映したり
無邪気に人を信じられない時代　揺れながら
ピュアな愛などこの世に無いと　諦めかけてた

離れた夜空を見ると　妙に切なくなり
体が１／２だけになった　気さえするよ

もう君なしじゃ生きられない　so 気付いてた　いつからだろう
見つめられて　泣きそうな夜は　きつく抱きしめていたい
もう悲しみはいらないから　so 傷ついた　涙をふいて
時を超えよう　瞳を閉じて　折れそうな君の肩を抱くよ

時計仕掛けの　オレンジたちが　まぶたににじむよ

もう君なしじゃ生きられない　so 気付いてた　いつからだろう
見つめられて　泣きそうな夜は　きつく抱きしめていたい
この細胞のひとつひとつ　君のイニシャル　刻まれてゆく
無限の空を　二人で見上げ　白いくちづけをしたい

人は誰もが皆　出会い　別れの海を　もがきながら　傷つきながら
それぞれの想いだけ　泳ぐ

夜の光が街を染めてく　僕の中までも
緑の蝶が街を染めてく　二人を包んで

夜の光が街を染めてく
緑の蝶が街を染めてく
