[English]

Time stops, my fingers touch

Can you still hear it?

Clumsy as we are, we turn the precious pages

You're here, and I'm here

Like a world only for us two

I want to call out your name

Because I felt like you might disappear

It appears so vividly

The world where you're here

It’s like magic

I wonder if it will someday vanish

I’m here, no matter how many times we say goodbye

I want to sing, I want to tell, my feelings are overflowing

Don’t forget, I’m right here

Forever with you

We were just naturally side by side

Miracles happen before we know it

Why did I selfishly turn away

Blinding love that I had been hiding away

Don’t be swept away, even if you end up crying

Don’t lie, even if you’re not the one smiling

I loved, I love

Please don’t let go this time

I’m here, even when someday you’re gone

I want to love, I want to search, if these days have meaning

Don’t lose it, stay in my heart

You will always be

As long as you love me

As long as you love

And I still believe it

Yeah, I still believe in you and me

It’s like magic

I wonder if it will someday melt away

I’m here, no matter how many times we say goodbye

I want to love, I want to tell, feelings overflow even now

Don’t forget, I’m here

Forever with you

[Japanese]

時が止まる 指が触れる

まだ聞こえているかな

不器用同士 愛おしいページをめくった

あなたがいて私がいる

二人だけの世界みたい

名前を呼んでいたいよ

消えちゃいそうな気がしたから

こんな鮮やかに映るよ

あなたがいる世界

魔法みたいだね

いつか解けてしまうかな

ここにいるよ 何度 さよならをしたって

歌いたい 伝えたい 想いが溢れてるのに

忘れないでね ここにいるから

あなたとずっと

当たり前に隣にいた

奇跡はいつの間にか

自分勝手どうして逸らして

霞ませてしまっていた 愛

流されないで 泣いてしまっても

嘘つかないで 笑ったあなたじゃなくても

I loved, I love

今度は離さないでね

ここにいるよ いつか あなたがいなくなって

愛したい 探したい 日々に意味があるなら

失くさないでね 心にいてね

あなたはずっと

As long as you love me

As long as you love

And I still believe it

Yeah I still believe in you and me

魔法みたいだね

いつか解けてしまうかな

ここにいるよ 何度 さよならをしたって

愛したい 伝えたい 想いが溢れてるのに 今でも

忘れないでね ここにいるから

あなたとずっと
