[English]

Look at me properly?

Even though we're this close,

Beyond the window I can't see,

A feeling like I'm watching,

I tried to just seal it, thinking that being happy is enough,

I can't stand laughing beside someone else,

If I could, I'd just get ahead,

I want to take you away right now,

I love you, it's frightening,

Hey, am I not enough?

Beloved,

The still transparent thread that connects us,

Pulling together, our Destiny changes...

I know you better than anyone else,

Whatever you hate, whatever you like, yeah,

Because I've been watching you from beside you, your heart,

Even the fact that it's trembling,

I can tell,

I know I can't stay like this,

I understand, though,

Because I want to believe, a new world,

Yes, this is my first and last selfish wish,

I wonder where the tangled fate will lead,

With all the love I can give,

I want to hold you tightly right now,

I love you, I could even cry,

Hey, am I not enough?

If only I could...

If I could, I'd just get ahead,

I want to take you away right now,

I love you, it's frightening,

Hey, am I not enough?

Beloved,

The still transparent thread that connects us,

Pulling together, our Destiny changes...

[Japanese]

僕のこと、ちゃんと見てよ？

距離はこんな近いのにさ

目には見えない窓の向こうを

眺めてるような feeling

幸せであればいいって　蓋してみたけれど

誰かの横で笑うなんて　許せないや

もういっそなら追い越してさ

今すぐ君を奪い去りたい

好きなんだよ　こわいくらい

ねえ僕じゃだめかな？

愛しい人

ふたりを繋いだまだ透明な糸が

引き合って変わってく Destiny...

他の誰よりも　君をよく知ってるよ

何が嫌で What you like, yeah

ずっと隣で見てたから Your heart

揺れ動いてるってことも

I can tell

このままじゃいられないって

わかってはいるけれど

信じてみたいから　新しい世界

そう、これが最初で最後のわがままさ

絡み合った運命は　どこへ行くのだろう

ありったけの愛を込めて

今すぐ強く抱きしめたい

好きなんだよ　泣けるくらい

ねえ僕じゃだめかな？

もういっそ・・・

もういっそなら追い越してさ

今すぐ君を奪い去りたい

好きなんだよ　こわいくらい

ねえ僕じゃだめかな？

愛しい人

ふたりを繋いだまだ透明な糸が

引き合って変わってく Destiny...
