**Japanese Lyrics**
雲がかりの空は

隠すようで 君に似ていた

枝葉揺らすその風は

君の頬撫でるのかな

些細な思い出を抱えて

また君の笑顔を探して

Veilに触れ そっと目を逸らす

不器用さで傷つけあう Canvas

無彩色の世界

この景色が 今色づいていく

青と混ざる茜色

君を写し出すあの空

眩しいほど 美しく

ひとつひとつ重ねた 愛の色を知る

You saved me

そう ふたりで

まだ眠れない夜の向こう

You saved me

描く未来

いとしい君に会いにいく

息が詰まるほどに苦しい心を騙し

何一つ言えない自分は素直じゃない

一人で閉じ込められた灰色の弱さを

変えてくれたのは

青と混ざる茜色

君を写し出すあの空

眩しいほど 美しく

ひとつひとつ重ねた 愛の色を知る

You saved me

そう ひとりじゃ

描けなかった彩りの向こう

You saved me

何度でも

いとしい君に会いにいく

You saved me

大切な色だから

So I'll save you

この瞬間 切り取る Gradation

どんな辛いことだって君と

きっと乗り越えられる

青と混ざる茜色

君を写し出すあの空

眩しいほど 美しく

ひとつひとつ重ねた 愛の意味を知る

言葉じゃ足りないから

確かめて 繋いだ手

You saved me

そう ふたりで

歩んでいく いつまでも

**Romaji Lyrics + Color Code**
kumogakari no sora wa

kakusu you de kimi ni nite ita

edaha yurasu sono kaze wa

kimi no hoho naderu no ka na

sasai na omoide wo kakaete

mata kimi no egao wo sagashite

Veil ni fure sotto me wo sorasu

bukiyousa de kizutsukeau Canvas

musaishoku no sekai

kono keshiki ga ima irodzuite iku

ao to mazaru akaneiro

kimi wo utsushidasu ano sora

mabushii hodo utsukushiku

hitotsu hitotsu kasaneta ai no iro wo shiru

You saved me

sou futari de

mada nemurenai yoru no mukou

You saved me

egaku mirai

itoshii kimi ni ai ni iku

iki ga tsumaru hodo ni kurushii kokoro wo damashi

nani hitotsu ienai jibun wa sunao ja nai

hitori de tojikomerareta haiiro no yowasa wo

kaete kureta no wa

ao to mazaru akaneiro

kimi wo utsushidasu ano sora

mabushii hodo utsukushiku

hitotsu hitotsu kasaneta ai no iro wo shiru

You saved me

sou hitori ja

egakenakatta irodori no mukou

You saved me

nando de mo

itoshii kimi ni ai ni iku

You saved me

taisetsu na iro dakara

So I'll save you

kono shunkan kiritoru Gradation

donna tsurai koto datte kimi to

kitto norikoerareru

ao to mazaru akaneiro

kimi wo utsushidasu ano sora

mabushii hodo utsukushiku

hitotsu hitotsu kasaneta ai no imi wo shiru

kotoba ja tarinai kara

tashikamete tsunaida te

You saved me

sou futari de

ayunde iku itsu made mo

**Translation**
The sky full of clouds

Looks likes it's hiding, resembling you

The wind that shakes the branches and leaves

I wonder if it caresses your cheek

I hold trivial memories

And search for your smile again

I touch the veil and quietly look away

From the canvas of us hurting each other with our awkwardness

In the achromatic world

This scenery is turning colors now

The madder red[a] is blending with the blue

In the sky that reflects you

It's so beautiful that it's dazzling

I know the color of love layered one by one

You saved me

Yes, with us two together

We still go through sleepless nights

You saved me

In the future I picture

I'm going to see you, my love

My pained heart was deceived to the point it took my breath away

I, who couldn't say anything, wasn't honest

My gray-colored weakness of being trapped alone

Is what changed me

The madder red[a] is blending with the blue

In the sky that reflects you

It's so beautiful that it's dazzling

I know the color of love layered one by one

You saved me

Yes, being alone

I go beyond the colors that I couldn't draw

You saved me

No matter how many times it takes,

I'm going to see you, my love

You saved me

Because of the precious color

So I'll save you

The gradation cuts through this moment

No matter how hard things are, I'm sure

I can get through them with you

The madder red[a] is blending with the blue

In the sky that reflects you

It's so beautiful that it's dazzling

I know the meaning of love layered one by one

Because using words isn't enough

To confirm it, our hands are together

You saved me

Yes, with us two together

We walk on forever
