[English]

The nature of love is both the front and the back side

Lately, I've been thinking about that

I get excited or stay silent

Either way, I'm still me

Don't look so sad

It's not that my heart has cooled down

I also like your vulnerable side

Spinning, spinning—joy, anger, and sorrow

If today you can't love me

Wait for me until the orange sets in the West

Morning comes, and if it's the me of tomorrow, I could love you then, right?

Love me, love me tomorrow

The sun and the moon, ahah

Always embraced by the sky

Just like that, I want to hold you close

All day, all night, just like the sun and moon

Our relationship is both front and back side, you know

Sometimes crying, sometimes laughing

Yearning for each other, hurting each other

Either way, we won't part

Even the sun cries sometimes

Hiding behind clouds, crying intensely

The moon also shines brightly

Changing and transforming freely

If today I temporarily can't hold you

Swim through the loneliness of the night, look for you

Intentionally feeling the sadness, I start to miss you

I'll miss you, baby

The sun and the moon, ahah

Changing their shapes and forms

Living through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, always...

[Japanese]

恋愛の性質って表裏一体 got it

この頃そんなこと思うんだ

はしゃいでみたり 黙り込んだり

どっちにせよ僕なんだ

悲しそうな顔するなよ

別に心が冷めたわけじゃないない

せつなそうな君も好きだよ

廻る廻る 喜怒と哀楽

もし君が今日だけは僕を 愛せないなら

オレンジが西に沈むまで wait for me

朝が来て明日の僕ならば 愛せるだろう?

love me love me tomorrow

太陽も月も ahah

いつでも空に抱かれてる

同じように 君を抱きしめたい

all day all night just like sun and moon

君と僕の関係もう表裏一体 you know

時に泣いて時に笑ってさ

求め合ったり 傷つけ合ったり

どっちにせよ離れない

太陽だって泣いたりする

雲に隠れながら激しく泣いてる

月だって眩しく笑う

変わる変わる 変幻自在

もし僕が今日だけは君を 持て余すなら

夜の孤独 泳いで look for you

淋しさをわざと感じてみる 逢いたくなるさ

i’ll miss you, baby

太陽も月も ahah

姿カタチを変えながら

生きている 春夏秋冬 always...
