[井上ジョー ｢CLOSER (English Ver.)｣ 歌詞]

[Intro]
All that is near us we must know
Could disappear any day, be careful
The main key to finding happiness
Lies nowhere else but in my soul

[Verse 1]
You could reminisce, you could recall
The very last time you felt joy
Or maybe you are so blessed to a point
Where you can't remember anything

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a harmony, a miracle
Being able to breathe and live at all
So here is your one and only chance
Life is an opportunity

[Chorus]
All that is near us we must know
Could disappear any day, be careful
The main key to finding happiness
Lies nowhere else but in my soul
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!
[Verse 2]
Some people may call a kind deed
An act of mere hypocrisy
But never mind those who have lost faith
You shouldn’t give in to what they say

[Bridge]
As a matter of fact, let me tell you
Even if it was for a selfish cause
A salvageable hypocrisy
Is superior to murderous honesty

[Chorus]
Everybody tells you from time to time
To never give up, like a phrase from a movie
They tell you to stand up for yourself
As if it was always that easy
Gather a handful of courage in my heart
To go on and survive another day
And I'll never take it for granted
Let's go!

[Interlude]
(王様のお通り, どうぞこちらへ)
(そなたが世界を救った少年かね?)
(はい, わたくしです)
(そなたの勇気を称えて褒美をやろう, 何がほしい? 金か銀か?)
(いいえ, 違います)
(どっちが欲しいのだ?)
(何も!)
(それでは何が欲しいのだ?)
(何もいりません, 大切なものは心の中にあります)
[Chorus]
All that is near us we must know
Could disappear any day, be careful
The main key to finding happiness
Lies nowhere else but in my soul
You know the closer you get to something
The tougher it is to see it
And I'll never take it for granted
Everybody tells you from time to time
To never give up, like a phrase from a movie
They tell you to stand up for yourself
As if it was always that easy
Gather a handful of courage in my heart
To go on and survive another day
And I'll never take it for granted
Let's go!
