僕はいない その時代もない

I am not there, that era doesn't exist

まだ少しだけ 傷を抱えたふたりは

Still, the two of us, carrying a little pain

夢の続き探してた

Were searching for the continuation of our dreams

あぁ 思うままに 色付いてくと思ってた

Ah, I thought it would color itself as I wished

答えなんか 見つけられずに

Unable to find any answers

それでもこの世界 廻り続けて

Yet this world continues to turn

君がくれた夏 その奇跡

The summer you gave me, that miracle

僕は忘れない wow-oh

I will never forget, wow-oh

溢れそうな想い あの夕日に隠して

Hiding overflowing feelings in that sunset

So why, so why, so why

So why, so why, so why

気づいていた

I was aware

True love, true love

True love, true love

時の隙間に 流れ込む風

The wind flowing through the gaps of time

教室のその片隅で

In that corner of the classroom

揺れる前髪 ただ見とれていた僕は

I was just mesmerized by your swaying bangs

君に恋をしたんだよ

I fell in love with you

Oh まるで空を歩いてるみたいな日々

Oh, it felt like I was walking in the sky

当たり前にそばにいたこと

The fact that you were always by my side

未来なんていつもそう 疑いもせず

君がいた夏に この気持ち

In the summer you were there, this feeling

うまく言えなくて wow-oh

I can't express it well, wow-oh

ふたつの心は 何故に離れていくの？

So why, so why, so why

So why, so why, so why

届かなくて

It doesn't reach

愛情の罠だって 気づいた時は遅すぎて

By the time I realized it was a trap of affection, it was too late

捻れた感情は 光求め彷徨う

叶わない願い 置き去りのままで

Unfulfilled wishes left behind

君がくれた夏 その奇跡
