Hamasaki, Ayumi - As If... Lyrics

[Romanized:]

Tatoeba kono mama awanaku nattemo
Sore mo shikata no nai koto to itte anata wa akira meru no?

Itsuwari no hibi wo tsuzukeru no mo sorosoro tsukaretekita kedo
Sore de issho ni irareru no nara shikata nai ne
Futsuu ni te wo tsunaginagara machi wo arukitakute
Sonna koto wo yume miteru sore dake nanoni

Tatoeba kono mama awanaku nattemo
Sore mo shikata no nai koto to itte anata wa aki yameru no?

Dare no tame ni ikiteiru no ka wo mou ichido kangaetemita
Sukoshi michi ga hin aketekisou na ki ga shita kedo
Yasashisugiru hito dakara hontou no kokoro no
Kimochi ienai no kana tte omou to kowai

Tatoeba kono mama awanaku nattemo
Sore mo shikata no nai koto to itte anata wa aki yameru no?
Tateoba kono mama awanaku nattara
Yagate tsukihi ga nagarete subete wo wasuresasete kureru no?

Tatoeba kono mama awanaku nattemo
Sore mo shikata no nai koto to itte anata wa aki yameraru no?
Ima shika mitenai watashi to chigatte
Kore kara saki no koto kangaeru to anata wa fuan ni naru?

La la la la la...

Itsu no hi ka itsu no hi ka kitto
Issho ni irareru yo ne...

[Japanese:]

例えばこのまま会わなくなっても
それも仕方のない事と言って　あなたは諦めるの？

いつわりの日々を続けるのも　そろそろ疲れてきたけど
それで一緒にいられるのなら　仕方ないね
普通に手をつなぎながら　街を歩きたくて
そんなことを夢見てる　それだけなのに

例えばこのまま会わなくなっても
それも仕方のない事と言って　あなたは諦めるの？

誰のために生きているのかを　もう一度考えてみた
少し道が開けてきそうな気がしたけど
優し過ぎる人だから　本当のところの
気持ち言えないのかなって思うと怖い

例えばこのまま会わなくなっても
それも仕方のない事と言って　あなたは諦めるの？
例えばこのまま会わなくなったら
やがて月日が流れて全てを忘れさせてくれるの？

例えばこのまま会わなくなっても
それも仕方のない事と言って　あなたは諦められるの？
今しか見てない私と違って
これから先の事考えるとあなたは不安になる？

La la la la la...

いつの日か　いつの日か　きっと
一緒にいられるよね...

[English translation:]

For instance, even if we don't meet anymore
Will you say there's nothing to be done, and give up?

I've quickly tired of continuing these false days
But if we can be together then there's nothing to be done about it
I want to hold hands and walk the city like normal
That's what I dream about. that's it, but

For instance, even if we don't meet anymore
Will you say there's nothing to be done, and give up?

I reconsidered who I'm living for
I felt like a new door had opened a little, but
You're too kind, so I'm scared when I think
That I can't tell you my true feelings
For instance, even if we can't meet anymore
Will you say there's nothing to be done, and give up?
For instance, if we can't meet anymore
Before long will time let me forget everything?

For instance, even if we can't meet anymore
Will you say there's nothing to be done, and give up?
Unlike me, who sees only now
Do you get nervous thinking about what comes after this?

La la la la la...

Someday, someday, surely
We can be together...
