乃木坂46 (Nogizaka46) - 月の大きさ (Tsuki no Ookisa) (English Translation) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tonight, for some reason
The moon looks a size bigger than usual
Shining brighter than ever
On this path I trudge home with hunched shoulders
No matter the time, someone's always on your side

[Pre-Chorus]
If only I could cry
Without saying a word
When the tears dry up, it's the end
I have to become stronger
Because sadness is the first step toward independence

[Chorus]
How many times must I be hurt
Before I forget the pain?
When red blood is shed
You're reminded that you're alive
Collapsed on the road
Lying in a big X shape
I look up at the sky and think

[Post-Chorus]
True loneliness
Belongs to those with no past
Those who know only the present
[Verse 2]
What size was the moon
Just yesterday?
I try to shape it with the palm of my hand
From the day we're born until the day we leave this world
Surely, there are moments we miss

[Pre-Chorus]
My friends
Aren't here now
But they're living somewhere out there
Still, If something were to happen
They'd rush over in an instant

[Chorus]
How many wounds must it take
For the moon to start to wane?
As dawn draws near
Even trials quietly fade away
I brush off the mud
Stand up straight
And fix my posture

[Lead Guitar]

[Pre-Chorus]
When things get tough
Close your eyes gently
Think of tonight's big moon
Let it light up the feet
That hesitate in doubt
[Chorus]
If you lie to yourself
You'll lose who you are
Even if clouds cover the moon
Keep walking the path you believe in!
How many times must I be hurt
Before I forget the pain?
When red blood is shed
You're reminded that you're alive
Collapsed on the road
Lying in a big X shape
I look up at the sky and think

[Post-Chorus]
True strength
Belongs to those who dream
To those who believe in love
