**Japanese Lyrics**
聞こえてくる声

僕を呼ぶのは 確かな君で

繰り返し見える

果てなく続く夢の中

（その中）

止まったような

暗い時の中

微かな声が

僕を眠らせた

これ以上は No fake

目を覚ませ Always awake

夢と現実の中

甦る 確かになる High

息さえすべて君のよう

鮮やかになる その記憶

沈んだ世界 果てを越え

自由になるのさ今

（君のもとへ）

I'm like a butterfly High

太陽の彼方へ

もう恐れることはない

見つけるから

今すぐに駆けつけるよ

いつか消え去る夢だけど

I'm like a butterfly 君へとFly

I'm like a butterfly High

Like a butterfly

深く Rollin'

沈む Fallin'

壊れた翼

But I'm still on my way

一筋の光 差し込む

And no gravity

覆るこの世のすべて

過去と未来 間にいる君

永遠なんてこと

信じてないけど

果てはきっと君だから

I can't stop this

息さえすべて君のよう

鮮やかになる その記憶

沈んだ世界 果てを越え

自由になるのさ今

I'm like a butterfly High

太陽の彼方へ

もう恐れることはない

見つけるから

今すぐに駆けつけるよ

いつか消え去る夢だけど

I'm like a butterfly 君へとFly

I'm like a butterfly High

Like a butterfly

もっと飛べ

翼が燃え落ちても

止まることはない

遠く No matter where you are

何度だって君の向こうへ

I'm like a butterfly High

太陽の彼方へ （空の君へ）

もう恐れることはない

見つけるから

今すぐに駆けつけるよ

いつか消え去る夢だけど

I'm like a butterfly 君へとFly

I'm like a butterfly High

Like a butterfly

**Translation**
I hear a voice

I'm pretty sure it's you who's calling me

I see it repeatedly

In my dream that continues endlessly

(Inside of that)

In the dark time

That seems to have stopped

A faint voice

Had put me to sleep

But no fake anymore

I wake up, always awake

In dreams and reality

I come back to life and become sure, high

Even all of my breath is like you

My memories of you become vivid

Beyond the edge of the sunken world

I'm free now

(To where you are)

I'm like a butterfly, high

Far away to the sun

There's nothing to be afraid of anymore

Because I'll find you

I rush to you right now

Even if it's a dream that'll vanish someday

I'm like a butterfly, I fly to you

I'm like a butterfly, high

Like a butterfly

Rollin' in the deep

Sink and fallin'

My wings have broke

But I'm still on my way

A ray of light shines in

And there's no gravity

Everything in this world is overturned

You're between the past and the future

I don't believe

In such an "eternity"

But because it's probably you at the end,

I can't stop this

Even all of my breath is like you

My memories of you become vivid

Beyond the edge of the sunken world

I'm free now

I'm like a butterfly, high

Far away to the sun

There's nothing to be afraid of anymore

Because I'll find you

I rush to you right now

Even if it's a dream that'll vanish someday

I'm like a butterfly, I fly to you

I'm like a butterfly, high

Like a butterfly

I fly more

Even if my wings burn down

I won't stop

Go far away no matter where you are

Over to you no matter how many times

I'm like a butterfly, high

Far away to the sun (To you of the sky)

There's nothing to be afraid of anymore

Because I'll find you

I rush to you right now

Even if it's a dream that'll vanish someday

I'm like a butterfly, I fly to you

I'm like a butterfly, high

Like a butterfly
