Lyrics and music composed by Masamune Kusano Produced by Takayuki Hijikata & Spitz (Single Ver.) Masanori Sasaji & Spitz (Album Ver) (Rough translation of meanings of Lyrics) I was young and immature at the time, Like someone with a slight fever, I was still unable to control my emotions Fearing the shadow of a god who knew everything about me. Out of character, I had a knife hidden in my pocket to protect myself. You always comforted me with your gentle songs Fading and cracking myself, I was looking for a way to shine one day It's a miracle that I met you, And now I'm filled with that feeling Now I may be free to fly in the sky If my tears, wet from night dreams, flow out into the ocean I hope you will always be smiling beside me. On that night of the full moon, I discarded the false lines I used as trump cards I wake up from a deep sleep Wrapped in the fragrance of your fragile, swaying hair It is a miracle that I met you, And now I am filled with that feeling Now I may be free to fly in the sky Even if this real world, littered with trash, refuses to acknowledge our existence. I hope you will always be smiling by my side. It is a miracle that I met you, And now I am filled with that feeling Now I may be free to fly in the sky. If my tears, wet from nightly dreams, flow out to the sea I hope you to smile by my side forever. /This song by Japanese rock band Spitz was their eighth single.
