[English]

Maybe it's just an ideal

It can be a little tiring, right?

Tell me anything, no matter what

Just talk to me

Lately, I've been so busy

Don’t apologize all of a sudden

Trust me, even if you're feeling anxious

It’s going to be okay

Let’s go to the sea

Under the sky and the wind

The two of us walking down this country road

Every day spent with you feels like a drama

I can’t take my eyes off it — the story of our life

The days we've walked together like this

Are connecting one after another

The pattern on the waves—this moment lasts forever

Overlapping memories are tender

So these two shadows won't part

Let’s go as far as we can on this road

The story of our life

We keep going until the very end...

The story of our life

Maybe it's necessary

Because everything will somehow work out

Let’s stay calm and easygoing

Everyone’s the same

Show me your true self

Sometimes you look down unexpectedly

But if you're moving forward slowly

It’s going to be okay

Let’s go far away

The song of the sky and wind

Playing as we go, down this winding road

Every day with you feels like a drama

Can't take my eyes off the story of our life

The days we've walked together like this

Are connecting more and more

The pattern of the waves—this moment forever

Overlapping memories are tender

So these two shadows stay close

Let’s go as far as this road takes us

Every day with you feels like a drama

I can't take my eyes off the story of our life

Looking back, the path we've walked together

Spreads out before us

The pattern of the waves—this moment forever

Still beloved, this tender season

So these two shadows won't part

Let’s go as far as this road can take us

The story of our life

We keep on going till the very end...

The story of our life

[Japanese]

Maybe 理想だって

少し疲れるでしょ？

Tell me どんなことでも

話してみて

Lately 忙しくってって

急に謝らないで

Trust me 不安になっても

It’s gonna be alright

海まで行こうよ

空と風の中

二人進むcountry road

キミと過ごす毎日がドラマみたいで

目が離せない story of our life

こんな風に 共に歩んだ日々が

繋がってゆく

波間の模様 this moment forever

重なり合う 記憶はtender

二つの影 離れぬように

いけるとこまで この道をゆこう

Story of our life

We keep tracking till the end...

Story of our life

Maybe 必要だって

どうにかなるからって

Easy 焦らないでいようよ

みんな同じさ

Show me ありのままを

ふいに うつむくけど

Slowly 進んでいるなら

It’s gonna be alright

遠くまで行こうよ

空と風の唄

奏で進むwinding road

キミと過ごす毎日がドラマみたいで

目が離せない story of our life

こんな風に 共に歩んだ日々が

繋がってゆく

波間の模様 this moment forever

重なり合う 記憶はtender

二つの影 離れぬように

いけるとこまで この道をゆこう

キミと過ごす毎日がドラマみたいで

目が離せない story of our life

振り返れば 共に歩んだ道が

広がっている

波間の模様 this moment forever

なお愛しき 季節はtender

二つの影 離れぬように

いけるとこまで この道をゆこう

Story of our life

We keep tracking till the end...

Story of our life
