[English]

何気ない君のその仕草に

さりげなく心奪われてく

ゆらりゆらり

あつくなびく

ふわりふわり

君のくせ毛

羊雲を

みてるだけじゃ

足りないな

ってね

その視線が

嫌いなんだ

どうしても

だって辛いよ嘘つき

そんなふうに

見ないでよ

今日も君とさ

想像上でダンス

したい いやいやいやいやいや

いや いやいやいやいやいや

いたい いやいやいやいやいや

いや いやいやいやいやいや

薄暗い中で僕ら2人

君の息を吸う音がする

さらりさらり

触れた小指

そっとぎゅっと

握る 甘く

映画なんて

どんなのでも

構わないんだ

君がいれば

嫌いなんだ

どうしても

だって辛いよ嘘つき

そんなふうに

触れないで

今日も君とさ

想像上でダンス

したい いやいやいやいやいや

いや いやいやいやいやいや

いたい いやいやいやいやいや

いや いやいやいやいやいや

...

好きじゃないよ 君なんて

好きじゃないよ 君なんて

好きじゃないよ 君なんて

君なんて

どうしたって

好きなんだ

だって

君の全てが

愛おしくて

近づけない

でも近づきたいんだ

近づけばいいのさ

どうしたって

大好きだ

いっそ

僕のものには

なってくれないかな

君を失ったなんて

そんなの受け入れられないんだ

Lemonade
