Kageboushi kimi wo tsukamitakute
Hanareta chinama gusai seika
Kanaeyou kimi to no chikai no mukou
Kagerou no you ni yurameite kaze ni mau
Akogare no keshiki wa futatsu no hanamoyou to yorisou kage
Danderaion

Yogoreta te tearai ugai shi kaeru sa kimi no moto e
Omiyage mo arun da yorokonde kureru ka na
Koko ni aru seikatsu no oto nioi kioku amari ni
Henai de zettai shi mo itowanai dakara
Zenbu uso nante iwanaide

Kageboushi kimi wo tsukamitakute
Hanareta chinama gusai seika
Kanaeyou kimi to no chikai no mukou
Kagerou no you ni yurayurameite kaze ni mau
Akogare no keshiki wa futatsu no hanamoyou to yorisou

Bokura ni wa
Saishin gijutsu wa iranai
Saishuu densha ni norenakutemo ii
Daijoubu boku to ite kimi wo mamotte miseru
Mamotte miseru yo

Saishin gijutsu wa iranai
Saishuu densha ni norenakutemo ii
Daijoubu boku to ite kimi wo mamotte miseru yo
Bokura no deizu

Kageboushi kimi wo tsukamitakute
Hanareta chinama gusai seika
Kanaeyou kimi to no chikai no mukou
Kagerou no you ni yurayurameite kaze ni mau
Akogare no keshiki wa futatsu no hanamoyou to yorisou kage

Kono mi hateru made mioretai yume wa
Kawarazu bokura no deizu

Orignal / Kanji / 歌詞

影法師　君を掴みたくて
離れた　血生臭い生家
叶えよう　君との誓いの向こう
陽炎のようにゆらめいて　風に舞う
憧れの景色は　ふたつの花模様と寄り添う影
ダンデライオン

汚れた手　手洗いうがいし帰るさ　君の元へ
お土産もあるんだ　喜んでくれるかな
ここにある生活の音　匂い　記憶あまりに
偏愛で絶対　死も厭わないだから
全部嘘なんて言わないで

影法師　君を掴みたくて
離れた　血生臭い生家
叶えよう　君との誓いの向こう
陽炎のようにゆらゆらめいて　風に舞う
憧れの景色は　ふたつの花模様と寄り添う

僕らには
最新技術はいらない
最終電車に乗れなくてもいい
大丈夫僕といて　君を守ってみせる
守ってみせるよ

最新技術はいらない
最終電車に乗れなくてもいい
大丈夫僕といて　君を守ってみせるよ
僕らのデイズ

影法師　君を掴みたくて
離れた　血生臭い生家
叶えよう　君との誓いの向こう
陽炎のようにゆらゆらめいて　風に舞う
憧れの景色は　ふたつの花模様と寄り添う影

この身果てるまで　見惚れたい夢は
変わらず　僕らのデイズ

English Translation

I reach for your shadow, longing to hold you close
I left behind that bloodstained childhood home
Let's fulfill what lies beyond the vow I made with you
Shimmering like a heat haze, drifting upon the wind
The scenery I longed for, a shadow nestled beside two flowers in bloom
Dandelion

With dirty hands, I'll wash up and come back home to you
I've got a gift for you too, I wonder if it'll make you smile
The sounds, the scents, the memories of this life we share here
With such devotion, I'd never fear even death itself
So please don't tell me it was all a lie

I reach for your shadow, longing to hold you close
I left behind that bloodstained childhood home
Let's fulfill what lies beyond the vow I made with you
Shimmering and swaying like a heat haze, drifting upon the wind
The scenery I longed for, nestled beside two flowers in bloom

For us
We don't need the latest technology
It's alright if we miss the last train home
Stay with me, it's alright, I'll show you I can protect you
I'll show you I can protect you

We don't need the latest technology
It's alright if we miss the last train home
Stay with me, it's alright, I'll show you I can protect you
Our days

I reach for your shadow, longing to hold you close
I left behind that bloodstained childhood home
Let's fulfill what lies beyond the vow I made with you
Shimmering and swaying like a heat haze, drifting upon the wind
The scenery I longed for, a shadow nestled beside two flowers in bloom

The dream I long to gaze upon until this body fades away
Unchanged, our days remain

Official English Translation

No more life living in dark shadows,
I'm choosing you over my frightening bloodstained past,
I take this love, the vow we made, forever it will last,
Just like the hot waves of heat that shift and shine, wind softly blows,
The world that I dreamed of will be mine, two flowers bloom, where love aligns, as shadows twine again,
Dandelion

With my hands all stained, I wash them off and rinse my mouth, then I will come running straight back to you,
I've even prepared a souvenir, I hope it would warm your heart right through,
The sounds and the scents, even our memories in our lives that we once knew,
I promise you that I'll always love you till the day that I die,
So don't tell me that it is all a lie.

No more life living in dark shadows,
I'm choosing you over my frightening bloodstained past,
I take this love, the vow we made, forever it will last,
Just like the hot waves of heat shifting and shining, wind softly blows,
The world that I dreamed of will be mine, two flowers bloom, where love aligns, as we are twined.

To you and I,
There's no need for new tech, we'll get by,
There's no need for us to catch the last train, we'll take our pace,
I'm here, you'll be okay, I'll make sure to keep you safe,
I swear, I will keep you safe.

There's no need for new tech, we'll get by,
There's no need for us to catch the last train, we'll take our pace,
I'm here, you'll be okay, I will do anything to keep you safe,
Our endless days.

No more life living in dark shadows,
I'm choosing you over my frightening bloodstained past,
I take this love, the vow we made, forever it will last,
Just like the hot waves of heat shifting and shining, wind softly blows,
The world that I dreamed of will be mine, two flowers bloom, where love aligns, as shadows twine again.

Until my body fades away, I'll dream of you like yesterday,
Nothing will change our endless days.
