[English]

I am yours and you are mine

Why am I feeling anxious?

By your side, gazing into the distance

My love is overflowing

You'll never let me down

I want to believe, but

Just saying "I love you" isn't enough

Because those are vague words

Don't let go of my hand

Make a promise

Love me stronger

It's been a while since we met

You seem a little different

You said you just forgot to wear our matching necklace

Let go

Let go

Why are you walking a bit faster today?

I'll never let you go

When you look back, you smile gently

Just saying "I love you" isn't enough

Because those are vague words

Don't let go of my hand

Make a promise

Love me stronger

Just the words "I love you" aren't enough

I want more, it's not enough

EYES ON YOU

It feels like it might disappear someday

A love as fleeting as a delicate flower

You can feel my heart and you can touch my love

I want to feel you closer, Eternal Love

You are my only one and I'll be yours

Will we vow for eternity or...?

Two diverging paths

What do you see in our future?

Just saying "I love you" isn't enough

Because those are vague words

Don't let go of my hand

Make a promise

More...

More...

Just the words "I love you" aren't enough

I want more, it's not enough

足りないよ もっと欲しい

EYES ON YOU

It feels like it might disappear someday

A love as fleeting as a delicate flower

[Japanese]

I am yours and you are mine

どうして不安なの

遠くを見つめる君の側で

もう溢れ出すくらいの LOVE

You'll never let me down

信じたいけど

「愛してる」だけじゃ嫌だ

曖昧な言葉だから

この手離さないで

約束をして

もっと強く愛して

久しぶりに会った

君は少し変わったみたい

お揃いのネックレスしていないのは

忘れただけだよって言ってたけど

Let go

どうして今日は少し早歩きなの

I'll never let you go

振り返る君は優しく微笑むけど

「愛してる」だけじゃ嫌だ

曖昧な言葉だから

この手離さないで

約束をして

もっと強く愛して

「愛してる」の言葉だけじゃ

足りないよ もっと欲しい

EYES ON YOU

いつか消えてしまいそうで

儚い花のような LOVE

You can feel my heart and you can touch my love

もっと近く感じたい Eternal Love

You are my only one and I'll be yours

永遠を誓うかそれとも…

ふたつの分かれ道

二人の未来に

君は何が見える？

「愛してる」だけじゃ嫌だ

曖昧な言葉だから

この手離さないで

約束をして

もっと…

もっと…

「愛してる」の言葉だけじゃ

足りないよ もっと欲しい

EYES ON YOU

いつか消えてしまいそうで

儚い花のような LOVE
