少女の虚ろな瞳は　何を捉えているのだろう

静寂は花弁を摘み　いつかのように消える

鈍色の日々が　彩られることなく　時間は過ぎていく

一輪の思い出だけ残して

愛していた　記憶に残る景色の

その全てに　映る君の横顔が

いつまでも忘れられない　‘‘孤独’’という呪いに変わっていく

どんな顔で君を見つめればいいの？

どんな声も君には聴こえていないようだ

エリカは眠る　微笑みながら　まるで幸福に溺れていくみたいに

少女の虚ろな瞳は　何を捉えているのだろう

線形の雲はいつの日も　2つの平行線で出来ていた

耳を劈くその音で

一切の哀しみを掻き消してくれ

愛していた　記憶に残る景色の

その全てに　映る君の姿が

いつまでも忘れられない　‘‘寂しさ’’となって現れる

どんな顔の君もいつだって綺麗で

いつの日でも　ボクには眩しすぎるくらい

エリカは笑う　いつまでもずっと

目が覚めては　眠ってを繰り返している

そんな日々に　終止符（ピリオド）を打てずにいる

君が　笑って　こっちを見ている　忘れられない　忘れたくない　忘れなどしない

エリカ　君のくれた花を僕は　枯らしてしまった　それでも

恨んでくれはしないだろう　笑って許してしまうだろう

そんな君を　愛していた

記憶に残る景色の　その全てに　映る君の横顔が

いつまでも忘れられない　‘‘孤独’’という呪いに変わっていく

どんな顔で君を見つめればいいの？

どんな声も君には聴こえていないようだ

エリカは眠る　微笑みながら　まるで幸福に溺れていくみたいに

笑って　いつまでもずっと

I wonder what the girl's empty eyes see

Silence plucks the petals and vanishes like someday

Time passes without coloring the dull days

Leaving only one memory

The memorable scenery I loved

And your face reflected in all of it

It will change into a curse called "loneliness" that I will never forget

What kind of face should I look at you with?

It seems that you can't hear any of the voices

Erica sleeps, smiling, as if drowning in happiness

I wonder what the girl's empty eyes see

Linear clouds were always made up of two parallel lines

With that ear-splitting sound

Wipe away all the sorrows

The memorable scenery I loved

And your figure reflected in all of it

It appears as an unforgettable feeling of "loneliness" forever

No matter what kind of face you have, you are always beautiful

Any day, It's always too bright for me

Erica smiles, forever and ever

I wake up and fall asleep repeatedly

I can't put an end (period) to such days

I can't forget you smiling and looking at me, I can't forget you, I don't want to forget you, I won't forget you

Erica, I let the flower you gave me wither, but still...

You won't hate me, you'll laugh and forgive me

I loved you like that

Your face reflected in all of the memorable scenery

It will change into a curse called "loneliness" that I will never forget

What kind of face should I look at you with?

It seems that you can't hear any of the voices

Erica sleeps, smiling, as if drowning in happiness

Smile, forever and ever
