Japanese (日本語歌詞) 	Romaji (ローマ字)
待ち合わせは　2時間前で 	Machiawase wa nijikan mae de
此処に独り　それが答えでしょ 	Koko ni hitori sore ga kotae desho
 	
街ゆく人　流れる雲 	Machi yuku hito nagareru kumo
僕のことを嘲笑ってた 	Boku no koto wo azawaratteta
 	
それは簡単で　とても困難で 	Sore wa kantan de totemo konnan de
認めることで前に進めるのに 	Mitomeru koto de mae ni susumeru no ni
信じられなくて　信じたくなくて 	Shinjirarenakute shinjitakunakute
君の中で　きっと僕は　道化師なんでしょ 	Kimi no naka de kitto boku wa doukeshi nan desho
 	
ああ　回って　回って　回り疲れて 	Aa mawatte mawatte mawari tsukarete
ああ　息が　息が　切れたの 	Aa iki ga iki ga kireta no
そう　これが　悲しい　僕の末路だ 	Sou kore ga kanashii boku no matsuro da
君に辿り着けないままで 	Kimi ni tadori tsukenai mama de
 	
僕を乗せて　地球は回る 	Boku o nosete chikyuu wa mawaru
何も知らない　顔して回る 	Nani mo shiranai kao shite mawaru
 	
1秒だけ　呼吸を止めて 	Ichibyou dake kokyuu o tomete
何も言えず　立ちすくむ僕 	Nani mo iezu tachisukumu boku
 	
それは偶然で　そして運命で 	Sore wa guuzen de soshite unmei de
知らないほうが良いと知ってたのに 	Shiranai hou ga ii to shitteta no ni
触れてしまったの　君の温もりに 	Furete shimatta no kimi no nukumori ni
その笑顔で　その仕草で　僕が壊れてしまうから 	Sono egao de sono shigusa de boku ga kowarete shimau kara
 	
ああ　回って　回って　回り疲れて 	Aa mawatte mawatte mawari tsukarete
ああ　回って　回って　回り疲れて 	Aa mawatte mawatte mawari tsukarete
ああ　息が　息が　息が止まるの 	Aa iki ga iki ga iki ga tomaru no
ああ　息が　息が　息が止まるの 	Aa iki ga iki ga iki ga tomaru no
 	
ああ　変わって　変わって　変わってゆくのが 	Aa kawatte kawatte kawatte yuku no ga
ああ　怖い　怖いだけなの 	Aa kowai kowai dake na no
もうやめた　ここで　君を待つのは 	Mou yameta koko de kimi o matsu no wa
僕が壊れてしまうだけだ 	Boku ga kowarete shimau dake da
 	
ああ　回って　回って　回り疲れて 	Aa mawatte mawatte mawari tsukarete
ああ　息が　息が　止まるの 	Aa iki ga iki ga tomaru no
そう　僕は　君が望むピエロだ 	Sou boku wa kimi ga nozomu piero da
君が思うままに　操ってよ 	Kimi ga omou mama ni ayatsutte yo
|-|Official English lyrics =
We were supposed to meet here two hours ago
And I'm still here alone I know that's the answer, right
People walking on the street, Flowing clouds
They were laughing at me
It's easy and also difficult
By accepting it, I can move forward
But I can not believe it, I don't want to believe it
I know I am a pierrot to you
Ah, turning around and around and got sick of it
Ah, I can't breathe, can not breathe
Yes, this is my sad ending
Still can not reach you
The earth goes around carrying me
Pretending to know nothing, it goes around
Just for a second I hold my breath
and stand saying nothing
It was an accident and it was fate
I knew I would have better not to know it
I touched your warmth
By your smile, by your motion I would be broken
Ah, turning around and around and got sick of it
Ah, turning around and around and got sick of it
Ah, I can't breathe, can not breathe
Ah, I can't breathe, can not breathe
Ah, being changed, changed, changed
Ah, I'm just scared, and scared of it
I will quit waiting for you here
It just makes me broken
Ah, turning around and around and got sick of it
Ah, I can't breathe, can not breathe
Yes, I'm a pierrot you want
Just manipulate me as you want
