[English]

The things I love about you

The quirky habits you have

Your expressionless face, yet

Your mouth corners lift up

I’ll give you a passing score, you’re doing well

You praise me, but what exactly

Are you looking at?

Swaying, swaying, swaying, swaying, the two of us

Still, still, still, still, the subtle distance

Swaying, swaying, swaying, swaying, the feelings that waver

Faintly, my fingertips touch you

Brushing, touching, overflowing and intertwining

On an August night, my love for you grows

Leaving the ice cream I bought on the way home

(Next time) Next time

I was somehow managing

Getting tipsy little by little, drifting gently

Melting the memories I’ve frozen

(To you again) To you again

I’m always searching for a reason to meet you

...

The things I love about you

The way you laugh like a child

A melody that makes me feel affectionate, softly

Wrapping us in its sound

Like we’re exploring a maze, we felt our way through the night

The feeling of summer, your touch

Before this summer ends

Swaying, swaying, swaying, swaying, the two of us

Still, still, still, still, the awkwardness

Swaying, swaying, swaying, swaying, the feelings that waver

Faintly, my fingertips touch you

Brushing, touching, overflowing and intertwining

On an August night, my love for you grows

Tangled up, going in circles, taking the long way

(Loving again) Loving again

I was somehow holding back

Getting tipsy little by little, drifting gently

Melting the feelings I’ve frozen

(To you again) To you again

I finally found a reason to meet you

Is it just my imagination, or is it the summer?

My body temperature rises, I want to close the gap by a millimeter

In this world with you

...

Swaying, swaying, swaying, swaying, the two of us

(Swaying, swaying, swaying, swaying, the two of us)

Still, still, still, still, the subtle distance

(Still, still, still, still, the subtle distance)

Swaying, swaying, swaying, swaying, the feelings that waver

Faintly, my lips touch you

Brushing, touching, overflowing and intertwining

On an August night, my love for you grows

Leaving the ice cream I bought on the way home

(Next time) Next time

I was somehow managing

Getting tipsy little by little, drifting gently

Melting the love I’ve frozen

(To you again) To you again

I finally found a reason to meet you

(Swaying, swaying, swaying, swaying, the two of us)

(Still, still, still, still, the subtle distance)

(Swaying, swaying, swaying, swaying, the feelings that waver)

On an August night, the two of us

Brushing, touching, overflowing and intertwining

...

[Japanese]

君の好きなところ

変な癖があるところ

無表情なのに キュっと

上にあがる口角

合格点をあげるよ 上手くできてるね

褒めてくれる 君はいったい

何を見てるの

さら さら さら さら なびくふたりの

まだ まだ まだ まだ 微妙な距離も

ゆら ゆら ゆら ゆら 揺れる気持ちも

微かに指先が君に

振れる 触れ 溢れ重なる

八月の夜 募る I love you

帰り道に買ったアイス残して

（また次を）また次を

どうにか作っていたんだ

少しずつ酔う ゆらり漂う

冷凍保存した 記憶溶かして

（また君に）また君に

会える理由ずっと探してるんだ

君の好きなところ

子供みたいに笑うところ

愛おしくなるメロディー そっと

ふたり包む音色

迷路を進んでくように探り合った夜

夏の感触 君の感触

この夏が終わる前に

さら さら さら さら なびくふたりの

まだ まだ まだ まだ ぎこちのなさも

ゆら ゆら ゆら ゆら 揺れる気持ちも

微かに指先が君に

振れる 触れ 溢れ重なる

八月の夜 募る I love you

絡まり 空回り 遠回りして

（また好きを）また好きを

どうにか抑えていたんだ

少しずつ酔う ゆらり漂う

冷凍保存した 気持ち溶かして

（また君に）また君に

会える理由ずっと探してるんだ

気のせいかな 夏のせいかな

上がる体温 1ミリを縮めたい

君との世界を

さら さら さら さら なびくふたりの

（さら さら さら さら なびくふたりの）

まだ まだ まだ まだ 微妙な距離も

（まだ まだ まだ まだ 微妙な距離も）

ゆら ゆら ゆら ゆら 揺れる気持ちも

微かに唇が君に

振れる 触れ 溢れ重なる

八月の夜 募る I love you

帰り道に買った アイス残して

（また次を）また次を

どうにか作っていたんだ

少しずつ酔う ゆらり漂う

冷凍保存した 愛を溶かして

（また君に）また君に

会える理由やっと見つかったんだ

（さら さら さら さら なびくふたりの）

（まだ まだ まだ まだ 微妙な距離も）

（ゆら ゆら ゆら ゆら 揺れる気持ちも）

八月の夜にふたりは

振れる 触れ 溢れ重なる
