[English]

I know it's right there

A small, colorful BIG LOVE

Let's go meet it

Tu tu tu tu...

Who's with BIG LOVE?

Yeah

Tu tu tu tu...

Who's with BIG LOVE?

Yeah

Tu tu tu tu...

Who's with BIG LOVE?

Yeah

In the palm of my hand

Only realities that fit

With a slide, just a little

Tired of these monotonous days

Only half-baked ideals

Isn't that tasteless?

Deny it.

You'll see that ain't true

The swaying velvet twilight

Wrapped around us at the traffic light

Days that seem the same but are different

Let's say... How Beautiful, Beautiful!

I know it's right there

A small, colorful BIG LOVE

If it's us

You know, a small, vibrant BIG HEART in your chest

Let's go meet it

"Not enough" all around, but

It's okay just the way it is, everything will be fine

Even if they call you a weirdo

With your original spice

'Life' is yours

How Beautiful

I know it's right there

A small, colorful BIG LOVE

Let's embrace it

You know, a small, vibrant BIG HEART in your chest

Let's go meet it

I know it's right there

BIG LOVE, let's embrace it

You know, in your chest

Tu tu tu tu...

Who's with BIG LOVE?

[Japanese]

I know すぐそこにある

小さく色づく BIG LOVE

逢いにゆこう

Tu tu tu tu...

Who's with BIG LOVE？

Yeah

Tu tu tu tu...

Who's with BIG LOVE？

Yeah

Tu tu tu tu...

Who's with BIG LOVE？

Yeah

手のひらの中に

収まる現実ばかり

Slide でちょっと

食傷気味なDays

作りかけの理想ばかりで

味気ないじゃない？

Deny it.

You'll see that ain't true

ゆれるベルベットの夕暮れが

信号待ち二人を包んだ

おなじようで違う日々さ

Let's say... なんてBeautiful, Beautiful！

I know すぐそこにある

小さく色づく BIG LOVE

僕らなら

You know その胸の中小さく華やぐ BIG HEART

逢いにゆこう

「足りない」だらけだって

そのままでいいよきっと大丈夫さ

変わり者と呼ばれても

オリジナルのスパイスで

'Life' is yours

なんてBeautiful

I know すぐそこにある

小さく色づく BIG LOVE

抱きしめよう

You know その胸の中小さく華やぐ BIG HEART

逢いにゆこう

I know すぐそこにある

BIG LOVE 抱きしめよう

You know その胸の中

Tu tu tu tu...

Who's with BIG LOVE？
