Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

今は硝子の蓋を閉めて

I'll close the glass lid for now

...

...

この気持ちが私の胸を衝いて

This feeling is pounding in my chest

いつか目の前の君に届くまで

Until it reaches you, who's right in front of me

あとどれくらいの時間をかけて

How much more time will it take

どんな道を通るだろう

What path will it take

君の恋を邪魔しないように

So I won't get in the way of your love

どうか綺麗なままで育ってね

Please stay beautiful and grow up

なんてたぶん無理だけどね

But that's probably impossible

交差点で君を見付けた時に

When I found you at the intersection

目が合った瞬間で時間が止まる

Time stopped the moment our eyes met

信号は青に変わり 誰かの笑う声がした

The signal turned green, and someone's laughter echoed

まだ私は動けないでいる

I still can't move

これ以上 心に君が溢れてしまえば

If you overflow in my heart any more

息が出来なくなってしまう

I'll lose my breath

今は硝子の蓋を閉めて

I'll close the glass lid for now

...

...

もしも君が今と違う顔で

If you had a different face back then

もっと違った声をしていたら

And a different voice

こんなに苦しい思いをせずに

I wouldn't be feeling this pain

今日を過ごしていたのかな

I wonder if I'd be spending today differently

たぶん違う出会い方でも

Maybe even if we met in a different way

同じように君を好きになったよ

I'd still fall in love with you the same way

だってそういうものだからね

That's just how it is

私が私じゃ無くなるくらい

I've memorized your face and movements so much

君の姿 仕草を 焼き付けている

That I'm no longer myself

いつも視線を辿って

I always follow your gaze

言葉はどれも痛くて

Every word hurts

気付かれないようにあの子を恨んで

I secretly resent her, hoping no one notices

少しくらいズルくても手に入るなら

Even if it's a little dishonest, if I can get you

そんな汚い私がこぼれ出さないように

I won't let my true self, which is so dirty, show

今は硝子の蓋を閉めて

I'll close the glass lid for now

私の中で今も渦巻く

This feeling is still swirling inside me

この気持ちを目で見える形に

If I could turn it into something visible

変えてしまったなら

I'd change it

小さな身体を突き破って

I'd break through my small body

空を覆い君を隠すでしょう

And cover the sky to hide you

...

...

交差点で君を見付けた時に

When I found you at the intersection

目が合った瞬間で時間が止まる

Time stopped the moment our eyes met

信号は青に変わり 誰かの笑う声がした

The signal turned green, and someone's laughter echoed

まだ私は動けないでいる

I still can't move

これ以上 心に君が溢れて

If you overflow in my heart any more

誰かを傷付けてしまわないように

I don't want to hurt anyone

君の恋の終わりを願う本当の私に

I wish for the end of your love, that's the real me

今は硝子の蓋を閉めて

I'll close the glass lid for now

...
