[English]

Today's sky is tinged with a 'Good morning'

My morning routine sent to you every day

You, who worked hard yesterday, are still

Sleeping, right?

Looking at yesterday's photos

Confirming you're not here

Though we can't meet easily,

I won't give up

Thinking of the day we'll meet

Moving forward each day with positivity and strength

But deep down, I’m really lonely

You aren’t in the viewfinder

I’ve looked for you again and again

Imagining you in the captured world

Filling my heart’s memory

I want to see you

Just a little more, let’s keep trying together

But don’t push yourself too hard

My words full of contradictions

What a fool I am

In my small world with you

No matter how many megapixels, it’s not enough

Thinking of you and realizing it’s already Midnight

Love, love

Having developed what I see

Looking at the album just for you

There are photos of you, but

In the viewfinder, you’re not there

Again and again, I searched for you

Imagining you in the captured world

Filling my heart’s memory

I want to see you

Once again, night has come

I’ve reached my limit

Wandering in darkness

I’ll break free, I’m coming now

Let’s go see the night sky together

Today, the starry sky is the color of the sunset

Love, love, love, love, love you (Translation: I love you so much)

Miss you (Translation: I miss you, I feel lonely without you)

Lowering the camera, there you are

You, with your smile and tears, my beloved

Captured you in the world I took with my camera

Without using the viewfinder

I saw you directly

[Japanese]

今日の空に「おはよう」を添えて

君に送る毎朝のルーティーン

昨日も頑張った君はまだ

寝てるよね

昨日の写真たちを眺めて

君がいないことを確かめて

なかなか会えない僕らだけど

負けない

会える日を想い

日々前向きに強く進み

だけど本当は寂しいんだ

ファインダーには君がいなくて

何度も何度も君を探した

切り取った世界に君を思い浮かべて

心のメモリーを満たす

会いたい

もう少しだ 一緒に頑張ろう

でも無理しすぎたらダメだよ

矛盾だらけの僕の言葉

バカだな

君がいる僕の小さな世界

何億画素でも物足りない

君を想い気づけばもう Midnight

好き 好き

気づけば現像した

君専用のアルバム見て

君の写真はあるのに

ファインダーには君がいなくて

何度も何度も君を探した

切り取った世界に君を思い浮かべて

心のメモリーを満たす

会いたい

また夜が来た

もう限界だ

暗闇をさまよっていた

抜け出すんだ 今行くよ

夜空を一緒に見に行こう

今日は夕日色の星空

รัก รัก รัก รัก รัก รักเธอ (訳：君が大好きだよ)

คิดถึงเธอ (訳：君がいなくて寂しいよ)

カメラを下げた そこには君が

笑顔と涙で愛しい君が

切り取った世界に君を写し込んだ

ファインダーを通さずに

君を見た
