Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

描いた理想の自分とは

My imagined perfect self

かけ離れた現在と

Is so far from the present, and

にらめっこして笑っている

We're staring and laughing at each other

ごまかし隠す春の日に

On a spring day filled with hiding and masking

南風で髪がなびく

My hair floats with the south wind

あの子の横顔に

In that girl's profile

苦笑いやめ誓ってやる

I’ll stop smirking and make a vow

今年の夏の日は

This summer day

音より光より

More than sound or light

真っ直ぐに早く届けと願う

I wish my feelings could reach you quickly and honestly

気持ちがあるなら

If you really have those feelings

笑ってごまかしていないで

Don’t just smile and hide it

自分の心に手当ててみるんだ

Try to reach into your heart

Stand By Me そばにいて

Stand By Me, stay by my side

今タッチしよう

Let’s touch now

止まらない鼓動

The pounding of my heart won't stop

抱いていた感情ごと

Let’s hold all those emotions we’ve been carrying

抱きしめよう

And embrace them all

Stand By Me そばにいて

Stand By Me, stay by my side

今ミックスしよう

Let’s blend now

素直と理想を

Honesty and ideals

抱いていた感情ごと キスをして

Embracing all those feelings, let's kiss

痛い痛いのは飛んでゆかない

The pain and hurt won’t just disappear

幼きまやかしさ

The childhood lies

痛い痛いがちゃんと解ってから

Only after truly understanding the pain

また一つ始まるね

Will a new beginning start again

傷つき悲しみ

Wounds and sadness

真っ当に泣いて喜んでみたい

I want to cry and laugh sincerely

その時傍らで

Right there, by my side

なびかせた髪の香り纏った笑顔に

With a smile and a scent in my flowing hair

ふさわしく在りたい

I want to be worthy of it

Stand By Me そばにいて

Stand By Me, stay close

ディスプレイ越しの

Beyond the display

温度じゃ足りないよ

The warmth is not enough

抱いていた感情ごと

All those feelings I’ve embraced

マッチして

Match perfectly

Stand By Me そばにいて

Stand By Me, stay by my side

スクロールしよう

Let’s scroll through

僕らの一瞬を

Our fleeting moments

抱いていたい感情

And all those feelings I want to hold onto

全部持ってゆこう

Let’s take everything with us

夏の大空に

Into the vast summer sky

...

...

降り出した雨と強い風

Rain starts falling and the strong wind blows

傘を守るように身を丸めていた

Curled up to protect my umbrella

守るべきものは傘ではないから

Because what I need to protect isn’t the umbrella

捨ててその芽を開けばいい ah ah

Throw it away and let the buds bloom, ah ah

雨を飲め 風に乗れ

Drink the rain, ride the wind

Stand By Me そばにいて

Stand By Me, stay by my side

雨のち晴れのち雨だって

Even if it’s rain, then sun, then rain again

抱いていた感情

All those feelings I’ve been holding

全部持ってゆこう

Let’s take everything with us

Stand By Me そばにいて

Stand By Me, stay close

一切合切を繕わないよ

I won’t hide any part of myself

抱いていた感情

All those feelings I’ve been carrying

バレたっていいよ

It’s okay if it gets exposed

欲張って言うよ

I’ll say it boldly

描いた理想と現在を繋ぐよ

Connecting my imagined ideals and the present

イコールで

With an equal sign

...

...
