[English]

Is love still laughing next to you?

Are you still unable to drink coffee?

Oh baby, I almost call you by the wrong name.

Today, it's someone different again.

Oh oh oh oh

If I get caught in the rain, I feel like I might wash away.

I feel like I'm about to cry with this courage of mine.

Like shouting love until my voice runs out,

Would it have been easier if I could imitate that?

The songs I used to love now sound sad to me.

I feel like I'm about to cry.

I should probably sleep soon.

...

Is love still making you shine?

"I’m such a fool," I know that already.

Oh baby, but unless you say it, it just doesn't feel right.

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

If the wind blows, I feel like I might wash away.

I feel like I'm about to cry with this courage of mine.

Like shouting love until my voice runs out,

Would it have been easier if I could imitate that?

The songs I used to love now sound sad to me.

I feel like I'm about to cry.

How do I sleep again?

...

Is the person who leans on you better than me?

Are they doing it well?

Is the person who laughs next to you making you laugh better than I do?

Oh

Oh

...

Oh oh oh oh

If I get caught in the rain, I feel like I might wash away.

I feel like I'm about to cry with this courage of mine.

Whether it's love or a lie, anything is fine,

Would it have been easier if I could be clumsy?

The songs I used to love now sound sad to me.

I feel like I'm about to cry.

I should probably sleep soon.

...

[Japanese]

愛はまだ 君の横で 笑っているかい

君はまだ コーヒーも飲めないでいるかい

Oh baby 君の名前を間違えて呼びそうになるよ

今日も違う誰かに

Oh oh oh oh

雨に打たれりゃ流れちゃいそうな

僕のこの勇気に 泣きだしそうだよ

声が枯れるまで愛を叫ぶような

真似ができたなら楽だったのかな

昔好きだった歌が今は 悲しく聞こえて

もう泣きだしそうだよ

そろそろ 眠らないと

愛はまだ 君を輝かせているかい

｢私はバカ｣ そんなことは分かっているんだい

Oh baby だけど あなたの口から言われないとなんか

しっくりこないの

Oh oh oh oh

風に吹かれりゃ流れちゃいそうな

私の勇気に 泣きだしそうだよ

声が枯れるまで愛を叫ぶような

真似ができたなら楽だったのかな

昔好きだった歌が今は 悲しく聞こえて

もう泣きだしそうだよ

どうやって 眠るんだっけかな

君の横で 甘える人は僕よりも

うまく やれているの？

君の横で 笑う人は 私より君を

うまく笑わせてるかい？

Oh

Oh oh oh oh

雨に打たれりゃ流れちゃいそうな

僕のこの勇気に 泣きだしそうだよ

愛でもlieでもなんでもいいから

無様になれたら楽だったのかな

昔好きだった歌が今は 悲しく聞こえて

もう泣きだしそうだよ

そろそろ 眠らないと
