[English]

It was fun, wasn't it?

Dozing off again

Even the marks from your glasses you forgot to take off,

You say it looks like a painting,

Because you say it with a smile,

I feel like I can save the world with your eyes.

They shine even now,

Ever since you appeared.

It must be destiny's

Footsteps that make me leap.

Even a tomorrow I'm unsure of,

If your presence is there, it's magic.

Even your bad moods, even those warm eyes,

Are treasures I can take out anytime.

Drenched in memories,

I fall asleep.

You're always by my side,

So sometimes, I lose sight of you.

Closing one eye, I focus.

If you were to disappear from me,

Could I say I don't want that?

I wonder if it's okay to say such a thing.

It must be regret's

Footprints that follow me.

But even on those days, you protected me.

Our bodies, living in the same present,

Are surely connected for 100 years.

Swaying, yet steadfastly,

I draw.

The color I chose suits you,

A soft, gentle color.

It's a little embarrassing, but

I'm seriously gazing at you.

It must be destiny's

Footsteps that make me leap.

Even a tomorrow I'm unsure of,

If your presence is there, it's magic.

Even your bad moods, even those warm eyes,

Are treasures I can take out anytime.

Drenched in memories,

I fall asleep.

Swaying, I draw.

[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
