Lyrics

Japanese	English Translation
Hitori de ii to tsubuyaita Toaru sekai no chuushin de Tokei no hari o orimagete Hitomi tojiteta	"I’m okay with being alone", I whispered In the center of a certain world I bent the hands of the clock and closed my eyes
Sugisatta toki wa modosenai kedo Ano hi oshiete kureta yo ne "Sore de iin da" to	I can't bring back the time that passed by But you taught me on that day That "it’s okay"
Megurimeguru kisetsu ni kimi ga ita kiseki Kowareteta tokei sae ugokidasu kara Ima wa sou muryoku na garakuta da kedo Fushigi da ne kaerareru sonna ki ga suru Kimi no koe ga ima mo mada Koko ni aru kara	In the changing seasons, it's a miracle that you were here Because even the broken clock will start moving That’s right, I’m a powerless piece of junk now But it’s so strange, I feel like I can change that Because your voice still exists here now
Dare ni mo makenai nante Kodai mousou da tte koto Kizu-darake no tenohira kara Afureta kodoku	Thinking that I won’t lose to anyone is a delusion of grandeur From my palms covered in wounds Loneliness overflowed
Sugisatta toki wa modosenai kara Ichibyou zutsu nurikaeteku Sono egao de	Because I can’t bring back the time that passed by I’ll repaint it second by second With your smile
Wasurenai yo kisetsu ga makimodosaretemo Moshi kimi ga kyou no koto wasurete ittemo Ima de mo chiisana garakuta da kedo Kono mune ni kizanda kioku ga areba Yukkuri hari wa susundeku Mou nigenai yo	I won't forget, even if the seasons are rewound Even if you've forgotten about today Even now, I'm a tiny piece of junk But if there's a memory carved into my heart Then the clock hands will advance ever so slowly I won't flee anymore
stand by you…ah…	stand by you…ah…
Kasoku suru toki wa modosenai kedo Isshun zutsu nurikaeteku Sono namida o	I can't bring back the accelerating time But I'll repaint your tears moment by moment
Wasurenaide kisetsu ga makimodosaretemo Kawarazu ni bokura wa tsunagatterun da Ima wa sou muryoku na garakuta da kedo Fushigi da ne mata aeru sonna ki ga suru Kimi no koe ga eien ni Koko ni aru kara	Don't forget, even if the seasons get rewound We're connected as always That's right, I'm a powerless piece of junk now But it’s so strange, I feel like I can meet you again Because your voice will be here forever

Trivia

• In the interview, Kurosaki said that the lyrics are focusing on Accelerator and Last Order.
• This would make the first Index ending theme to not feature the supporting characters, and would make it more akin to Railgun ending themes such as Dear My Friend -Mada Minu Mirai e-.
