Ah, thus

How is that person from back then doing now?
向こうは待っているかもよ
They might be waiting over there for you, you know.
貴方が飽きたが故に
Because you've grown tired of it all.

And dance through the sky

I'm way cooler than you, you know.
「すごいから？」
Cooler, huh?

You say that's cool,
「しつこいなー」
You're so persistent.
光合って散らばって
Light scatters and shines,
また厚めこぼれて
Again, it spills out thickly.

The crumpled paper,
もう二度と戻らないように
Hoping it never returns.

After all, no matter who they are
やがて灰になって
Eventually, they'll turn to ash
空を飛ぶんだ
I'm going to fly in the sky
「君を愛していたいの」
"I want to keep loving you"

I want to keep on loving you
叶わない恋ならば
If it's a love that can't be fulfilled
共に灰になろう
Let's turn to ashes together
