Will I be by your side?
Will you be by my side?
I imagine this
Though it’s just a passing joke
Will you believe me?

On a day left alone
I take steps towards you again
When my face appears in your eyes
As if the world stops, I hold you
If a second life comes to me
I might live and breathe differently
In the streets passing by unknowingly

We’re already beautiful
The good thing about us
No words are needed

Even if a second life
Different from now comes
One thing I can say
Is that I’ll be by your side

Being forgotten is a common thing
Why are those common things
Not easy for me at all?

May we remember each other
In the next life, then to you
The lyrics center around a touching and imaginative contemplate of reincarnation, exploring whether two lovers would still find each other in a completely different existence. Even if they live unfamiliar lives and pass by as strangers on the street, the speaker intensely wishes for a mutual remembrance that transcends time. Ultimately, it delivers an unwavering commitment to always walk back toward the loved one, illustrating a pure and immortal devotion that refuses to let the bond be erased by a fated separation.
