[English]

That was fun, wasn't it?

Again, dozing off

Even the mark from the forgotten glasses

Looks like a painting, you say

Laughing as you put it that way

It makes me feel like I can save the world with my eyes

Even now, they shine

Ever since you appeared in my life

Who could it be? The footsteps of fate

That bounce me up

Even on uncertain tomorrows

If only I have you by my side, it's magic

Your grumpy moods and warm eyes too

They're treasures I can always pull out

Getting wet with memories

I fall asleep

You're always by my side

So sometimes, I can't see you clearly

Closing one eye to focus

If you were to be erased from me

Would I be able to say no?

Is it okay for me to say something like that?

Who could it be? The footprints of regret

That follow me around

Even on days like those, you protected me

Our bodies living the same now

Are surely connected for a hundred years

Straight ahead, as I sway

I draw it

The color I chose suits you

A pale, gentle shade

A bit embarrassing, but

I'm seriously gazing at you

Who could it be? The footsteps of fate

That bounce me up

Even on uncertain tomorrows

If only I have you by my side, it's magic

Your grumpy moods and warm eyes too

They're treasures I can always pull out

Getting wet with memories

I fall asleep

As I sway, I draw it

[Japanese]

楽しかったね

また　うたた寝

外し忘れた　眼鏡の跡だって

絵になるよって

笑って言うから

瞳で世界を救える気がしちゃう

今だって光るよ

君が現れた時からずっと

誰かと思えば運命の

足音が僕を弾ませるよ

迷う明日も

君の姿があれば　魔法

不機嫌も温かいその目も

いつでも取り出せる宝物って

思い出に　濡れながら

僕は眠る

いつも傍にいてくれてる

だから時々　見えなくなってしまう

片目閉じて　ピントを合わす

もしも僕から　君が消されちゃったら

嫌だって言えるの？

そんな事言ってもいいのかな

誰かと思えば後悔の

足跡が僕に付きまとうよ

そんな日々も　君が守ってくれてた

同じ今を生きる胴体は

確かに100年繋がってるんだ

まっすぐに　揺れながら

僕は描く

選んだ色は君に似合う

淡く優しい色

少し照れくさいけど

真面目に君のこと見つめている

誰かと思えば運命の

足音が僕を弾ませるよ

迷う明日も

君の姿があれば　魔法

不機嫌も温かいその目も

いつでも取り出せる宝物って

思い出に　濡れながら

僕は眠る

揺れながら　僕は描く
