[English]

The scenery I gaze at has changed since you entered it

The world has transformed completely

In the midst of the days I always handled well

I can't resist the mysterious gravity and it crumbles

I almost said "I love" but stopped

I love, I love, so many times

In the rising love, amidst changing feelings, your figure shines brilliantly

Like paint that has melted after jumping into a tank, it's irregular

I wouldn't have noticed anything alone

In such vivid colors

I almost told you, who pretends it's normal

Let me send you the continuation of "I love"

I, who can't part from you, laugh at the invisible things you see

It's so beautiful that it dazzles my eyes

Even now, I'm living bound by inferiority

I love, I love, an awkward knot

I love, I love, finding it by touch

I love your love, untangling and intertwining

I keep repeating it, over and over

A galaxy adorned only with replicas, darkness made of curtains

In a gray city where no one laments, I embrace the proof of "I love"

Joy, sorrow, and feelings without punctuation

Rather than completely sharing

If we could acknowledge each other while struggling with ambiguity

In overlapping love, amidst murky emotions, in the brief moments between blinks

The gift you gave me is this strangely gentle world

Irregular

I wouldn't have noticed anything alone, in such an important light

I almost told you, who pretends it's normal

Let me send you the continuation of "I love"

We receive each other

The nameless night deepens

[Japanese]

僕が見つめる景色のその中に

君が入ってから 変わり果てた世界は

いつも卒なくこなした日々の真ん中

不思議な引力に逆らえず崩れてく

I Loveなんて 言いかけてはやめて

I Love I Love 何度も

高まる愛の中 変わる心情の中 燦然と輝く姿は

まるで水槽の中に飛び込んで溶けた絵の具みたいな イレギュラー

独りじゃ何ひとつ気付けなかっただろう

こんなに鮮やかな色彩に

普通の事だと とぼける君に言いかけた

I Love その続きを贈らせて

見えない物を見て笑う君の事を 分かれない僕が居る

美しすぎて目が眩んでしまう

今も劣等感に縛られて生きている

I Love I Love 不恰好な結び目

I Love I Love 手探りで見つけて

I Love Your Love 解いて 絡まって

僕は繰り返してる 何度も

レプリカばかりが飾られた銀河 カーテンで作られた暗闇

嘆く人も居ない 鼠色の街の中で I Loveその証を抱き締めて

喜びも悲しみも句読点のない想いも

完全に分かち合うより

曖昧に悩みながらも 認め合えたなら

重なる愛の中 濁った感情の中 瞬きの僅かその合間に

君がくれたプレゼントはこの やけに優しい世界だ

イレギュラー

独りじゃ何ひとつ気付けなかっただろう こんなに大切な光に

普通の事だと とぼける君に言いかけた

I Love その続きを贈らせて

受け取り合う僕ら

名前もない夜が更けていく
