[English]

Endless, it won't stop ringing

Love both the sweet and the sour, the scars and all

I'm still waiting for something that's missing

Can I cherish it and break it before it gets dirty?

Right now, I'm counting only what's unchanging

Even if I always want to tell you

I can't put it into words

Surely, it's just a mischievous kind of happiness

Today, thank you, you seem shy too

Lost in endless doubts

Pop music

Holding onto our truths

I want to keep searching for something that won't dry up

Before I hold too tight, will I ever realize?

Only counting the things I can't change right now

That pain in my chest is usually sharp

But today, it's somehow pounding

What should I do on my day off? Maybe watch a movie

Living each day like that, just going with it

Misunderstandings happen as many as humans do

Sometimes it gets tiring

Stay free and unscathed, just as beautiful as always

If only, surely, we’ll meet again

Drawn by the scent of romance, we meet

Fall in love again, get scolded by love

Eat kindness, run down rural roads

Create new memories I haven't seen yet, just hope so

Even if I always want to tell you

I can't put it into words

Surely, it's just a mischievous kind of happiness

Today, thank you, you seem shy too

Coloring everything in my own hue

Standing firm without comparing to anyone

If someday a flower suddenly blooms—lucky

Living each day like that, just going with it

We have to go beyond tomorrow—(Can't say it, can't say it well, that’s why)

I want to keep smiling, don’t I?

I want to feel that we're holding hands—(You & I, You & I, You & I, you too)

That’s just how everyone is

[Japanese]

エンドレス 鳴り止まない

酸いも甘いも引っ掻き傷も愛して

足りない何かを今も待ち侘びてます

汚れてしまう前に大事に壊せますか？

変わらないものだけを今は数えている

いつもあなたに伝えたくても

言葉に出来ない私です

きっとそれは幸せの悪戯で

今日もありがとうがシャイな様です

キリが無い迷い達と

ポピュラーミュージック

僕らの真実を抱いて

枯れない何かをこの先も探していたい

抱きしめすぎる前に僕はいつか気付けますか？

変われないところだけを今は数えてしまう

いつもは痛い胸らへんが

今日はなんだか高鳴ってる

休みは何しようかな 映画でも観ようかな

そんな調子で生きろエヴリデイ

人間の数だけ すれ違いが起きていて

たまに嫌になる

綺麗なままで擦れることなく自由でいて

そうすればきっと 巡りあえる

ロマンスの香りに誘われて出会って

恋をまた知って 愛に怒られて

優しさを食べて 田んぼ道も走って

未だ見ぬ思い出 期待だけはさせてね

いつもあなたに伝えたくても

言葉に出来ない私です

きっとそれは幸せの悪戯で

今日もありがとうがシャイな様です

私色で彩って

誰とも比べないスタンスで

ある日突然花が咲いたらラッキー

そんな調子で生きろエヴリデイ

明日を超えていかなきゃいけない （言えない 上手くは言えない だからこそ）

笑っていたいよね

手を取ってる実感が欲しい (You & I You & I You & I あなたもね)

みんなそうよね
