自分のことでさえ 分からないのに
あなただけに全て 分かって欲しいなんて
言えないの 知ってるけど
白い吐息を 形にできたとしたら つたわるかなあ…
季節が移ろう度に
世界が感覚を追い越して行く
そんな想いさえも
瞬きの間の刹那に消えて逝く
きづかずにいられれば それでよかった
立ち止まればふと 冬の気配
季節が移ろう度に
世界が感覚を追い越して行く
そんな想いさえ 消えないように
身体に心に 刻んでいく
now hang on to this world
すごく速いから
涙も 笑顔も 忘れないように
季節が移ろう度に
世界が感覚を追い越したとしても
揺るぎのない 胸のMilestone
その度 わたしが刻むから…

Translation
I don't even understand myself.
"I want you to understand everything about me"
I know I cannot simply say that
If I can form my white breaths into shapes,
can my feeling reach you?
When seasons change
The world surpasses our senses
Even that very thought
Also disappears in the blink of an eye
It's all good if things go by unnoticed
But if you stop for a bit, you'll see the hint that winter is coming
When seasons change
The world surpasses our senses
So that that very thought would not disappear
I'll engrave it on my body and my heart
now hang on to this world
which spins so fast
so that the tears and smiles won't be lost.
When seasons change
Eventhough the world (is so fast it) surpasses our senses
I'll make sure to engrave (my dear memories) onto
The unmoving Milestone in my heart
[note] I insert the words in brackets myself to make the lyrics a bit easier to understand. The last 2 lines in the translation are out of order to make the English flows (as u can see that "Milestone" in the original Japanese lyrics is in the 2nd to last line)
[note2] STY (a Japanese composer who also composed I SEE ME) wrote in his blog here http://styjp.postero...onto-this-world about this idea of the song. He said he was thrilled when given the task to write a song about "BoA's career and life" and that the song was inspired by Donny Hathaway's Someday We'll All Be Free which begins with a line "Hang onto the world as it spins, around." STY himself has always thought time goes by so fast. Even the thought that "time goes by so fast" would swiftly turn to be in the past. This idea is written directly into the lyrics of Milestone.
