Lyrics
Kanji= 予報外れの雨が　ボクらを濡らして 震えてる君に　何を話したら良いの？

びしょ濡れのブレザーが 　 冷たくて重たくて カゴを出たひな鳥の 　無力さを感じてる

触れそうだった夢は　分厚い雲の向こうで 胸に広がる　甘い痛みだけ　噛み締めた ボクと君は　出逢わない方が良かったかな？ ねぇ　星さえ見えないよ

小さな水溜り　やがて空に還るなら いっそボク達も　連れて行ってくれないかな

君の胸のうちを 　 知るのが怖くなって 毛先から落ちてゆく 　水滴を見ていた

自由なんてさ　何処にもない気がしてたから それが事実と　前より分かった　だけなんだ ボクと君は　出逢わない方が良かったかな？ ねぇ　涙も出てこない

予報外れの雨は　降り続いていて 青白い顔してる　君を美しく思う もう　全部どうでも良いよ

触れそうだった夢は　分厚い雲の向こうで 胸に広がる　甘い痛みだけ　噛み締めた ボクと君は　出逢わない方が良かったかな？ ねぇ　星さえ見えないよ

ねぇ　涙も出てこない Rōmaji= Yohou hazure no ame ga bokura wo nurashite Furueteru kimi ni nani wo hanashitara ii no?

Bishonure no burezaa ga tsumetakute omotakute Kago wo deta hinadori no muryokusa wo kanjiteru

Sawaresou datta yume wa buatsui kumo no mukou de Mune ni hirogaru amai itami dake kamishimeta Boku to kimi wa deawanai hou ga yokatta ka na? Nee hoshi sae mienai yo

Chiisana mizutamari yagate sora ni kaeru nara Isso bokutachi mo tsureteitte kurenai ka na

Kimi no mune no uchi wo shiru no ga kowakunatte Kesaki kara ochiteyuku suiteki wo miteita

Jiyuu nante sa doko ni mo nai ki ga shite kara Sore ga jijitsu to mae yori wakatta dake nanda Boku to kimi wa deawanai hou ga yokatta ka na? Nee namida mo detekonai

Yohou hazure no ame wa furitsudzuiteite Aojiroi kao shiteru kimi wo utsukushiku omou Mou zenbu dou demo ii yo

Sawaresou datta yume wa buatsui kumo no mukou de Mune ni hirogaru amai itami dake kamishimeta Boku to kimi wa deawanai hou ga yokatta ka na? Nee hoshi sae mienai yo

Nee namida mo detekonai English Translation= The unforecast rain wets us What should I say to the shivering you?

My soaked blazer is cold and heavy. I feel as helpless as a chick that left its cage.

The dream I felt like I could touch was on the other side of the heavy clouds. I reflected only on the sweet pain that spread in my chest. I wonder if it would have been better if we had never met? Hey, I can't even see the stars.

If the small puddle will eventually return to the sky will it take us along?

I'm afraid to know about what's inside your heart. I was looking at drops of water falling from the tip of your hair.

You know, I feel like such thing as freedom doesn't really exist anywhere. That's the truth, I understood about it more now than before. I wonder if it would have been better if we had never met? Hey, even my tears won't come out.

The unforecast rain continues to fall. I think your pale face looks beautiful. Well, I don't care about anything, anymore.

The dream I felt like I could touch was on the other side of the heavy clouds I reflected only on the sweet pain that spread in my chest. I wonder if it would have been better if we had never met? Hey, I can't even see the stars.

Hey, even my tears won't come out.
