Tekster: Utada Hikaru. Distance.

Ki ni naru no ni kikenai
oyogi tsukarete kimi made mukuchi ni naru

Aitai noni mienai nami ni osarete
mata sukoshi tooku naru

Togirenai you ni keep it going, baby
onaji kimochi ja nai nara tell me
muri wa shinai shuugi demo
sukoshi nara shite mite mo ii yo


I wanna be with you now
futari de distance chijimete
ima nara maniau kara
We can start over hitotsu niwa narenai
I wanna be with you now
itsu no hi ka distance mo
dakishimerareru you ni nareru yo
We can start sooner,
yappari I wanna be with you

Hitokoro de konna nimo kizutsuku kimi wa
kodoku wo oshiete kureru

Mamorenai toki Keep on trying, baby
yakusokudoori ja nai kedo trust me
muri wa shinai shuugi demo
kimi to nara shite mite mo ii yo

I wanna be with you now
futari de distance mitsumete
ima nara maniau kara
We can start over kotoba de tsutaetai
I wanna be with you now
sono uchi ni distance mo
dakishimerareru you ni nareru yo
We should stay together,
yappari I wanna be with you

... I wanna be with you now
Coz I know this can't be forever
We can start over, just you and me
I wanna be with you now
Coz I know this can't be forever
We should stay together, just you and me
I wanna be with you ? ...


English translation:
Though it weighs on my mind, I can't ask
Tired of swimming to you, I fall silent
Though I want to see you, I'm pushed by invisible waves
And I find myself even further away

Keep it going, baby, so it doesn't stop
If you don't feel the same, then tell me
Though I don't believe in forcing things
It's alright to try, if it's just a little

I wanna be with you now
Together, let's shrink this distance
If we do it now, we can make it
We can start over, though we can't become one
I wanna be with you now
Someday, even this distance
Will become something we can embrace
We can start sooner, I wanna be with you after all

You can be hurt this much, by just a single word
But you'll teach me about loneliness

When you can't protect it, keep on trying, baby
Though it isn't how I promised it would be, trust me
Though I don't believe in forcing things
It's alright to try, if I'm with you

I wanna be with you now
Together, let's gaze at this distance
If we do it now, we can make it
We can start over, I want to put it into words
I wanna be with you now
Along the way, even this distance
Will become something we can embrace
We should stay together, I wanna be with you after all

... I wanna be with you now
Coz I know this can't be forever
We can start over, just you and me
I wanna be with you now
Coz I know this can't be forever
We should stay together, just you and me
I wanna be with you ? ...
