[English]

I wish, yes

More than tragedy or comedy, I want to see

The everyday that shines like a miracle

It’s not wrong to go back or forgive, even if I’m afraid

When I suddenly think of you, I tighten my shoelaces that are about to come loose

I sing, I stumble, I don’t even remember why

I’ve loved both the best and the worst

Maybe I no longer need vague words

Forever

I want you to smile more than I want to smile with you

Though wishes can be endless

No matter what words I use to tell you, it’s never enough

I cherish this moment now

So that you can stay just as you are, and light can shine on you

I want to be by your side always

I’ll hold your hand and never let go

...

If I draw it out, yes

No cheers, no right or wrong, beyond the goal

If you’re there, maybe I’ll give it a try

Silly excuses, but I want to believe

I sing, I stumble, I don’t count the wounds

Lying “It’s okay” over and over

Maybe I no longer need vague words

Forever

So your wishes can come true, and you can cry when you need to

Though wishes can be endless

Even the days lost in darkness, to the point of helplessness

I cherish this moment now

Hope that couldn’t be guided, days that weren’t rewarded

I will be reborn now, I’m sure

I’ll hold your hand and never let go

...

Forever

More than smiling with you, I want you to smile

Though wishes can be endless

No matter what words I use to tell you, it’s almost impossible to express

How much I love you

So that you can stay just as you are, and light can shine on you

I want to be by your side always

I’ll hold your hand and never let go

Every day will surely shine

I’ll hold your hand and never let go

...

[Japanese]

願わくば そう

悲劇よりも 喜劇よりも 見ていたいのは

奇跡のような当たり前を照らす この日常

間違いじゃない 戻ることも 許すことも 怖いけど

ふとした時に浮かぶ君に ほどけそうな靴紐を強く結んだ

歌って 転んで 理由も覚えてないけど

最高も逆も 愛してきたんだ

Maybe もう曖昧な言葉は 必要ないんだ

ずっと

君の隣で笑うより 君に笑ってほしいのさ

欲を言えばキリがないけど

どんな言葉で伝えようとも 足りないくらい

今が愛おしいんだ

君が君でいるために そこに光が差すように

どんなときも傍にいたいんだ

この手を ずっと 離さないよ

描くなら そう

歓声もない 正解もない ゴールの向こう

君がいるなら頑張ってみようかな

呆れそうな言い訳 でも信じたいんだ

歌って 転んで 傷も数えてないけど

「大丈夫」と嘘を重ねてきたんだ

Maybe もう曖昧な言葉は 必要ないんだ

ずっと

君の願いが叶うように 泣きたい時に泣けるように

欲を言えばキリがないけど

暗がり迷ってた日々も 太刀打ちできないほど

今が愛おしいんだ

導けなかった希望も 報われなかった昨日も

今生まれ変わるんだ きっと

この手を ずっと 離さないよ

ずっと

君の隣で笑うより 君に笑ってほしいのさ

欲を言えばキリがないけど

どんな言葉で伝えようとも どうしようもないくらいに

愛おしいんだ

君が君でいるために そこに光が差すように

どんなときも傍にいたいんだ

この手を ずっと 離さないよ

どんな日も きっと 輝くんだ

この手を ずっと 離さないよ
