Lyrics & Translation
Meeting each other is really something, isn't it?
In a world where most things are unknown
To think we’re calling each other's names
Getting annoyed, taking it out on each other, feeling regret
Clapping hands at the same time, laughing together
It’s just an ordinary, trivial daily life, but
You can’t relive the same days ever again
It’s so scary how you realize that
Overflowing with love, crossing time
One more silly thing, hey, I’m having fun now
Of course, I want to keep it safe, that’s obvious
Meeting someone is everything in life, I thought so
I’ll call your name, I’ll call your name
To understand your meaning, to understand our meaning
Call my name, I’ll come see you
It’s the meaning of life, it’s our meaning
It’s so late now, I feel embarrassed
Sometimes I think, sorry about that time
We have a relationship where I can say things without any reason
If you don’t call that precious, what else would you call it?
Overflowing with love, crossing time
One more silly thing, hey, I’m having fun now
Always helped by the people I want to help
Thank you, though I could say the same back
What can I do now? What can I do right now?
The moment I think about it, faces flash endlessly—faces, faces
I see, this is what living is
I’ll call your name, I’ll call your name
To understand your meaning, to understand our meaning
Call my name, I’ll come see you
It’s the meaning of life, it’s you
I’ll call your name, I’ll call your name
To understand your meaning, to understand our meaning
Call my name, I’ll come see you
It’s the meaning of life, it’s our meaning
I’ll call your name, I’ll call your name
Again and again, again and again
Call my name, I’ll come see you
No matter how many times, no matter how many times, no matter how many times
