That you say "Sorry for stumbling"
When you say it, it can't be song, can it
Wait a little longer, surely you'll get it
Because a nicer rain is falling
Like that you called for me
Sometimes even though I feel pain, it's okay
Embarking on the reply we made
Because the cloudy skies will soon be gone

But tires that won't go 'round line up before my eyes
I wonder who's stepping on the accelerator
It's a contradiction

Oh baby wait and see sometimes pain is also okay
Because there's a risk, what you believe in has a meaning
It's impossible not to get lost

Oh baby can't you see waiting isn't easy, but
Deciding is too fast
Don't believe in something like fortune-telling

Facing our love, on the left there is a shortage
That's why you are necessary
Do you act cold to protect yourself?

The power to accept unchanging things
Then give me the power to change
Things that can't be accepted

Oh baby wait and see Pain isn't wanted, but
Because there's a risk, I'll become strong by fighting
Fear is impossible

Oh baby can't you see waiting isn't easy, but
Deciding is too fast
Don't believe in something like fortune-telling

So baby wait and see there's no such thing as an unhealable wound
Because there's a risk maybe love is so painful
That's not all that bad

If I run far away will it become a song
It won't, will it
Because wherever I am, I am myself

If the key is too high it's okay to take it down
The song has the strength not to change
Worry is just one thing to get by
Slip it off like a too-large bracelet
Don't believe until you see all there is to see
