[English]

We're like a puzzle 重ねたい

鮮やかな Pieceを合わせ

We're like a puzzle 叶えたい

ゆるやかに Paceを合わせ

一人で彷徨い 探したDay & Night

心の真ん中 足りないその何かを

いつしか知ったんだ 奇跡に逢ったんだ

欠けてたPieceは 握るその手の中

We're like a puzzle 思い出を 星の数 重ねたい

鮮やかなPieceを合わせ さぁ行こう 大きな未来

We're like a puzzle 二人で 一つずつ 叶えたい

ゆるやかにPaceを合わせ 永遠(とわ)の愛を誓うよ

僕らは正反対 素晴らしい相性さ

異なる格好で 同じ夢を見てる

見つめた瞬間に 奇跡を感じた

そろえたPieceは 全て君にあげよう

We're like a puzzle いつでも 星の数 笑ってたい

きらめいたPieceの中に 描こう 愛する未来

We're like a puzzle 二人で 夢の数 数えたい

穏やかなPaceで歩こう 永遠(とわ)に約束しよう

We're like a puzzle 思い出を 星の数 重ねたい

鮮やかなPieceを合わせ さぁ行こう 大きな未来

We're like a puzzle 二人で 一つずつ 叶えたい

ゆるやかにPaceを合わせ 永遠(とわ)の愛を誓うよ
