[English]

On a morning when I couldn't organize my feelings, I packed up the mess into my bag.

After all, the me in front of you, I still couldn't find the words I wanted to give.

Trying to open up during a lonely night, my chest was aching unbearably.

My feelings of love, my thoughts of loving you, they were overflowing so much.

The days that felt so close yet so distant dizzy me, with the ups and downs of feeling down and excited.

This weight that grew as I was colored, I never want to let it go.

Though my chest hurt, I couldn't help but shout.

In spring, I saw you, lost in admiration amidst the summer scenes.

Contrary to the changing city, my heart deepens in blue.

Autumn skies with snow mixed in, all of it suited so perfectly.

In a busy world with no time to look away, I fall in love like I'm running.

Within the season that is you.

Trying to minimize what I lack, but I tighten up, and it only increases.

After all, the me who loves you doesn't even have the right to be your match.

All the things I prepared and wanted to tell you, were stopped by different versions of myself.

Fumbling inside my bag, it twisted and grew bigger.

The feelings I hid, unable to even become scars,

On days I chose to overflow, I want to deliver them properly.

Into your heart.

In spring, I saw you, mesmerized amidst the summer scenes.

Opposite to the changing city, my heart deepens in blue.

Autumn skies with snow mixed in, everything looked so perfect.

In a hurried world with no time to stare away, I'm falling in love as if I'm running.

Staying blue, muddied yet clear, bearing a great immaturity.

I want to gasp for air again tomorrow, in your ever-changing, bustling world.

Within the season that is you.

[Japanese]

気持ちの整理がつかないままの朝に 散らかったそれを鞄に詰め込んだ

やっぱり僕は あなたの前の僕は 渡したい言葉なんて渡せないまま

1人の夜に中身を広げようとして 胸の奥がひりついてたまらなかった

好きな想いが あなたを好きという想いが あまりにも嵩張ってたから

近くて遠い日々に眩暈がした 落ち込んで浮かれての寒暖差に

染められて増えていた この重みを 絶対に離したくないと

胸は痛いくせに そう叫んでしまっていた

春の中 あなたを見た 見惚れていた 夏模様の中で

移ろう街と逆に 青のまま募る心

秋の空 雪が混じった その全てがとても似合っていた

よそ見する暇もない忙しい世界を 走るように恋をしている

あなたという季節の中で

足りないものを少しでも減らそうとして 力んで余計にいくつも増えたりして

やっぱり僕じゃあなたを好きな僕じゃ 釣り合いたがる資格もないよなあ

あれだけ用意した伝えたかったこと 色んな自分に邪魔をされた

鞄の中で揺れ 拗れてさらに膨れ

傷跡にさえなれずに 隠し持った想いたちが

溢れることを選んだ日はちゃんと届けたい

あなたの心の中へ

春の中 あなたを見た 見惚れていた 夏模様の中で

移ろう街と逆に 青のまま募る心

秋の空 雪が混じった その全てがとても似合っていた

よそ見する暇もない忙しい世界を 走るように恋をしている

青のまま濁って澄んで 大きな未熟さを背負って

明日も息を切らしたい あなたの居る目まぐるしい世界で

あなたという季節の中で
