English Translation The things closest you you You need to always pay the most attention to If you get too close to something You'll lose sight of it* What in the world is the happiness That you gained from your newest experience? Maybe you're just too blessed To remember! That you're here That you're breathing Realize that that's just a miracle in itself The things closest you you You need to always pay the most attention to If you get too close to something You'll lose sight of it* You know the closer you get to something The tougher it is to see it And I'll never take it for granted Let's go Though there are people that say Helping someone is hypocritical Each person Can be trusted, or can be doubted, so... Let's say that Even if you are hypocritical If you saved someone because of it That would be real, more than anything "Continue chasing after your dreams" And "Go on without giving up" The more you say pretty things like that The less that actually gets done I'll keep a handful of courage in my heart To use to live through tomorrow And I'll never take it for granted Let's go The things closest you you You need to always pay the most attention to If you get too close to something You'll lose sight of it* You know the closer you get to something The tougher it is to see it And I'll never take it for granted "Continue chasing after your dreams" And "Go on without giving up" The more you say pretty things like that The less that actually gets done I'll keep a handful of courage in my heart To use to live through tomorrow And I'll never take it for granted Let's go

*These lines could be translated loosely as "The closer you get to something, the tougher it is to see it"
