[English]

Love is something that gets dropped

Someone's lost item is still here today

It accidentally slipped out of their pocket

And sometimes, you or I might pick it up

So, it's not really a lost item

Even if we're apart, let's hold on to the continuation of our story

I can't stop it, nor will I let it stop

Because the music keeps playing on

It's not that I want to just smile, I want us to share smiles

Until now, and from now on

I want to share the things we don't understand even more

If we're always lacking in something

We'll be able to meet again and again

Have you found love?

I've decided to gently forgive my scarred days and start walking

Hey, please don't give up on living

Strongly, we are strong

It's not that I want to just smile, I want us to share smiles

Until now, and always from now on

I want to properly share the things we don't understand

If we're always lacking in something

We should be able to meet again and again

Your justice, believe in it completely

Especially on nights when I'm scared, weak, and want to run away

Oh friend, oh tears, oh hope, oh song, please don't let anything die

If it's to protect our place to escape, I'll go too, we'll fight together

Even if it's an impossible dream, I want to talk about it

Even if it's different from the day I envisioned

I won't let it be closed off, I'll mess around with it

If we're always lacking in something

We'll be able to meet again and again

We must meet again and again

[Japanese]

愛は落としものだ

誰かの落としものは今日も

間違えてポケットを滑り落ちた

で、僕や君が拾ってたりする

だからね、失くしものじゃない

離れても 話の続きを抱きしめて 抱きしめて

止められないし止めさせない

だって音楽は鳴り続けてる

笑ってたいんじゃなくてね、笑い合ってたいのだ

今までも そしてこれからも

分かってないことをもっと分かち合ってたいのさ

足りないものばかりの僕らなら

何度も出会えるからね

愛は見つかりましたか？

傷だらけの日々をそっと許して歩き出すことにしたんだ

なあ、どうか生きることを譲るなよ

強く 僕らが強く

笑ってたいんじゃなくてね、笑い合ってたいのだ

今までも ずっとこれからも

分かってないことをちゃんと分かち合ってたいのさ

足りないものばかりの僕らなら

何度も出会えるはずさ

君の正義は君が信じ抜いてあげてね

こわくて弱くて逃げ出したい夜こそ

友よ涙よ希望よ歌よ、何も死なないでくれお願いだ

逃げ場所を守るためだったら僕も行く、僕らも戦うよ

叶わない夢でも語り合ってたいのだ

思い描いた今日とは違っても

ふさがれてたまるかよ、ふざけ合ってやるよ

足りないものだらけの僕らなら

何度も出会えるからね

何度も出会わなくては
