[English]

Walking with you... Oh yeah

Just a little more, I want to stay in this dream, morning

Fell asleep on the weekend, behind the sofa, the alarm's calling

The continuous rain has stopped, and the world is starting to move

A message from you, sending a tiny heart with your fingertips

We’re waiting for tomorrow, even if it's far away

Our love keeps growing stronger because we can meet

Ordinary Sunday, Monday...

Sunshine fills our ordinary days

Standing side by side, birthday, summer holidays... any season

I want to stay close and touch your heart

Laughing and crying together every day is irreplaceable

100 SEASONS

Don’t let go of my hand

Walking with you

100 SEASONS

"What are you doing right now?" Quietly read without a reply—back seat of the taxi

Always in a rush, but I miss the easy closeness when I can call you

Wearing favorite clothes, staying up late with trending songs

Throwback to those days, only capturing the smiles in photos

Like charging kindness itself

This moment turns into strength

Ordinary Sunday, Monday...

Sunshine fills our ordinary days

Standing side by side, birthday, summer holidays... any season

I want to stay close and touch your heart

Laughing and crying together every day is irreplaceable

100 SEASONS

Knowing there’s no such thing as forever

Many moments of the ordinary, a grateful day

Until I see the stars again from this place

Let’s look up at the sky again and again

Ordinary Sunday, Monday...

Sunshine fills our ordinary days

Looking forward to Halloween, Christmas, and New Year... any season

I want to stay close and touch your heart

Laughing and crying together every day is irreplaceable

100 SEASONS

Don’t let go of my hand

Walking with you

100 SEASONS

Imagine the future once more

Walking with you

100 SEASONS

[Japanese]

君と歩いてく... Oh yeah

あともう少しだけ 夢の中にいたいような Morning

寝落ちした Weekend ソファの裏でアラームが Calling

降り続いた雨も上がり 動き出した世界に

君からのメッセージ 指先で小さく贈るハート

待ち合わせた 明日までは遠いけど

愛しさ募らせて 会えるから

ありふれた Sunday, Monday...

Ordinary days 晴れ渡っていく

君と並んで Birthday, Summer holidays... どんな季節も

そばにいて 心に触れていたいから

君と笑って泣いて過ごす Everyday 掛けがえない

100 SEASONS

この手を離さないで

君と歩いてく

100 SEASONS

”いま何してるの?” 既読もつけずに Taxi の Back seat

いつも急だけど 呼び出せるフランクな距離が恋しい

好きな服を着て 流行りの歌で朝まで騒いだ

あの日々を Throwback 笑顔だけ切り取った Photograph

優しさが 充電されるように

この時が 強さに変わるよ

ありふれた Sunday, Monday...

Ordinary days 晴れ渡っていく

君と並んで Birthday, Summer holidays... どんな季節も

そばにいて 心に触れていたいから

君と笑って泣いて過ごす Everyday 掛けがえない

100 SEASONS

永遠など 無いことを知った

たくさんの当たり前に A grateful day

またこの場所から 星が見えるまで

何度でも空を見上げよう

ありふれた Sunday, Monday...

Ordinary days 晴れ渡っていく

楽しみな Halloween, Christmas そして New year... どんな季節も

そばにいて 心に触れていたいから

君と笑って泣いて過ごす Everyday 掛けがえない

100 SEASONS

この手を離さないで

君と歩いてく

100 SEASONS

もう一度未来描いて

君と歩いてく

100 SEASONS
