[English]

If I say the perfect form out loud

It might make things dull, so

Let's drown it out with sound, forget the useless stuff

I don't care, I just want to joke around

No matter how amazing

More than books or movies

I want to walk through endless, un fading days together

Stand By You, always Stand By You

Tears at the terminal, Uh Uh

Standing side by side

Stand By You, always Stand By You

The future's getting high, Uh Uh

Becoming a song with you

Stand By You, Oh Oh

Breaking free from the city's noise, yeah

Stand By You, Oh Oh

With you, continuing the shining dream

When I have mixed feelings that I can't control

I can't smile properly, so

Let's burn those feelings together

I want to talk it out and laugh together

No matter how amazing

More than awards or rankings

I'm most proud just to be by your side

Stand By You, always Stand By You

Tears at the terminal, Uh Uh

Standing side by side

Stand By You, gasping for breath

Sweating with anticipation, Uh Uh

Going with you toward tomorrow

Stand By You, Oh Oh

With happiness so deep I forget to blink, yeah

Stand By You, Oh Oh

Our story that almost ended begins to give birth again

Even if we go far apart somewhere

Don't you want to stay the same?

Can’t imagine changing, right?

Stand By You, always Stand By You

Tears at the terminal, Uh Uh

Standing side by side

Stand By You, always Stand By You

The future's getting high, Uh Uh

Becoming a song with you

Stand By You, Oh Oh

Breaking free from the city's noise, yeah

Stand By You, Oh Oh

With you, continuing the shining dream

Stand By You

Stand By You
