Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He moves through the city like smoke on water
Eyes that never land, voice like low guitar
She counts the seconds on a crowded platform
Memorized his coat, but forgot his name
[Pre-Chorus]
Most hearts reach out into the dark
And only hear the echo coming back
[Chorus]
One side always — that's the rule
The odds are long, the nights are cool
But sometimes the universe miscalculates
And two hearts open at the same gate
片思いが当たり前、それが現実
でもたまに、宇宙が計算を間違えて
ふたつの心が、同じ扉を開ける
[Verse 2]
She lights another cigarette at midnight
His name a song she hums but won't confess
He sends a message to a different number
Never knowing she was one floor up
[Bridge]
Don't call it fate — call it mathematics
A billion tries, and yes, one finds its match
Don't call it magic — call it what it is
A beautiful, accidental gift
運命とは呼ばない、数学と呼ぼう
偶然が生んだ、美しい贈り物
[Final Chorus]
One side always — yes, it's true
But somewhere tonight, there's a coincidence or two
Hold your quiet love like a hand of cards
Because honey, even long shots leave their scars
And sometimes, just sometimes
they become stars
静かな恋をトランプのように握りしめて
そしてたまに、本当にたまに
それが星になる
