Lyrics
どこまでも深い　闇夜と 思って 目を瞑ってた 呼びかける星の声に 気づけないまま 眩しくはない淡い灯 心地いい　そんなあなたを 知らぬうちに　目で追いかけた 息を切らして ああ　もつれそうになっても この気持ちははじめて 見たことのない自分に逢える 予感が止まらない… 目の前の道を走る 遠く、迷っても 見上げれば　あなたは変わらないで そこに居ることを 不思議　でも　信じられる 風が強い日も Over You 届けようとしなくたっていい ねえ (知ってる？) すべての星が回りながら あなたを目指してる Polaris in the Night (Shala Shala-la)
 * -|Kanji=

出口などは無い　深淵 下を向いて決めつけた 藍に慣れた目に 届いたのは、光 それは　導いているようで (聴こえてる) 気にもしていないような (響いてる) 「君の意思でついておいで」と 笑うの 果てのない道を走る それが嬉しくて 大丈夫　わたしは変わらないで ここに居ることを 素敵だと感じられる 雨が降っても Over You 立ち込める雲の先 うつろう世界　あなたは真ん中にいるの 自由自在に わたしも行きたい 派手な流星じゃなくても 闇から闇　走る 一瞬いっしゅんの光ひかりになれる Over You 目の前の道を走る 遠く、迷っても 見上げれば　あなたは変わらないで そこに居ることを 不思議　でも　信じられる 風が強い日も Over You 届けようとしなくたっていい ねえ (知ってる？) すべての星が回りながら あなたを目指してる Polaris in the Night (Shala Shala-la)

An endlessly deep dark night I thought as I closed my eyes Still unaware of the voice of the star calling out to me
 * -|English=

A faint light not too bright But comforting, that's how you were Before I knew it I was following you with my eyes Even if I run out of breath and start to stumble

I've never felt this before I can't stop the feeling That I can meet a me I've never seen before

I run down the path in front of me I run far, even when I'm lost If I look up, you won't have changed You'll be there It may be strange, but I can believe it Even on windy days I don't have to try to reach over you Hey (Did you know?) As all the stars revolve I keep my sights on you Polaris in the Night

(Shala Shala-la)

There's no way out in this abyss I had already decided as I looked down To my eyes accustomed to indigo Light has finally reached

It's as if it's guiding me (I can hear it) As if I'm not concerned (It's echoing) "Follow your own will and come with me," It laughs

I run on the endless road I'm happy about it It's okay, I won't change I can feel that I'm here Even on rainy days Beyond the clouds that envelop you In a changing world, you're at the center

I want to go freely Just like you Even if I'm not a dazzling meteor I run from darkness to darkness Becoming a momentary light Over You

I run down the road before me Even if I get lost in the distance When I look up, you remain unchanged I can't help but believe It's strange but I can trust Even on days when the wind is strong It's okay not to try to reach you Hey (Do you know?) While all the stars revolve around They're aiming for you Polaris in the Night (Shala Shala-la)
