Two Steps at a Time

二段飛ばし

Nobody is chasing him and he climbs anyway; the synth arpeggio walks up one step per bar.

Original

一段 とばして

また 一段 とばして

何を 急いでるのか

自分でも 知らない

 

踊り場で 一回

振り返って また行く

誰も 追ってこない

それでも 上がる

 

息が 切れるのが

気持ちいいなんて

今まで 知らなかった

知らないままだった

 

Two steps

Two steps

二段で 上がる (上がる)

下は 見ない (見ない)

Two steps

Two steps

このまま 屋上まで

行けそうな 気がする

 

七階の 窓から

街が 小さくなる

コンビニの 光だけ

点々と 続く

 

ふくらはぎが 熱い

明日 痛いやつだ

それでも 止めない

今しか 動けない

 

息が 切れるのが

気持ちいいなんて

今まで 知らなかった

知らないままだった

 

Two steps

Two steps

二段で 上がる (上がる)

下は 見ない (見ない)

Two steps

Two steps

このまま 屋上まで

行けそうな 気がする

 

降りるときのことは

考えてない

上がってる間だけは

何も こわくない

 

息が 続くかぎり

まだ 上がれる

 

Two steps

Two steps

二段で 上がる (上がる)

下は 見ない (見ない)

Two steps

Two steps

このまま 屋上まで

行けそうな 気がする

English translation

Skip a step

then skip another one

what am I in such a hurry for

I don't know either

 

On the landing, once

I look back and keep going

nobody is chasing me

and still I climb

 

That being out of breath

could feel this good —

I never knew until now

I'd gone without knowing

 

Two steps

Two steps

two at a time going up (going up)

never look down (never look)

Two steps

Two steps

all the way to the roof

feels like I could make it

 

From the seventh-floor window

the town gets smaller

only convenience store lights

strung out one by one

 

My calves are burning

the kind that hurts tomorrow

and still I don't stop

now is the only time I can move

 

That being out of breath

could feel this good —

I never knew until now

I'd gone without knowing

 

Two steps

Two steps

two at a time going up (going up)

never look down (never look)

Two steps

Two steps

all the way to the roof

feels like I could make it

 

Coming back down —

I didn't think about that

while I'm going up, at least

nothing frightens me

 

As long as my breath holds

I can still go up

 

Two steps

Two steps

two at a time going up (going up)

never look down (never look)

Two steps

Two steps

all the way to the roof

feels like I could make it
