Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

ふわりふわりふわり

Floating, floating, floating

揺られて思い出す

Swaying, I remember

ひらりひらりひらり

Fluttering, fluttering, fluttering

かわすのが君です

It's you who dodges

しぼんだ自信の中の奥に見えた

In the depths of my deflated confidence, I saw

わずかな光信じて

A faint light I believe in

どんな時でも笑顔貼り付けた

No matter the time, I wore a smile

いつも僕らにかまわず

Always without caring for us

引き裂き続ける夕日

The setting sun continues to tear apart

避けられない

Unavoidable

今僕はあなたなしでは難しいの

Now, it's difficult for me without you

僕が誘う未来は

The future I invite you to

確かなものではないし

Is not something certain

すぐ壊れる

It breaks easily

でも僕は君と一緒がいいな

But I want to be with you

ゆらりゆらりゆらり

Swaying, swaying, swaying

揺れながら見た夢

A dream I saw while swaying

きらりきらりきらり

Sparkling, sparkling, sparkling

輝くの君です

It's you who shines

湿った君の背中の奥に見えた

In the dampness of your back, I saw

光の奥を感じて

Feeling the depths of the light

どんな時でも傷が開いてた

No matter the time, the wounds were open

いてもたってもいられず

Unable to sit still

消すことできない焦燥

An impatience I can't erase

閉じ込めてく

I keep it locked away

今一人あなたの元へ向かっている

Now, I'm heading towards you alone

いつも近くにいるけど

Always close by

遠くに感じる君

But I feel you far away

閉じ込めたい

I want to lock you away

今一人君に会いたくて

Now, I want to see you alone

しぼんだ自信の中の奥に見えた

In the depths of my deflated confidence, I saw

わずかな光信じて

A faint light I believe in

どんな時でも笑顔貼り付けた

No matter the time, I wore a smile

いつも僕らにかまわず

Always without caring for us

引き裂き続ける夕日

The setting sun continues to tear apart

避けられない

Unavoidable

今僕はあなたなしでは難しいの

Now, it's difficult for me without you

僕が誘う未来は

The future I invite you to

確かなものではないし

Is not something certain

すぐ壊れる

It breaks easily

でも僕は君と一緒がいいな

But I want to be with you
