[English]

Love letters, tears swaying in the wind

Thinking of you makes my heart race

Guiding us to forever, together

Right now, by my side...

Even though the sky is clear

Rain is tapping on my shoulder now

The sadness of searching for a place to belong

Is it because I started to cry?

When I close my eyes (anytime)

Your heartbeat echoes inside me

Fingertips that touch (across my cheek)

Melt away my loneliness

Longing for love, the sky dances transiently

So that these feelings don't spill over

Lit by the moonlight shining on the trail

Where should I go now?

In exchange for eternal love

I’d throw everything away if I have to

Let’s go to end this loneliness

To overcome sadness and fate

I shouted my name to break through

If there's a place to belong, it's right there

A flower blooming in the sunlight

Every time the night comes (anytime)

I fear disappearing myself

Illuminating my destination (connected)

The path we've tied won’t come undone...

Unraveling the tangled threads

One becomes two, a heart transformed

Gaps in our hearts

Are filled by each other

Let’s become tears' umbrella...

Longing love, swaying in the wind

So that this feeling won't spill out

Loving thoughts guide me

Where should I go now?

In exchange for eternal love

I’d throw everything away if I have to

A story we write together (our story)

Story…

[Japanese]

恋綴り 涙 風に揺れて

貴方を想って胸が鳴く

二人 永遠(とわ)に 導いて

今すぐ隣(そば)へ…

晴れている空なのに

雨が今肩を叩くよ

居場所探す悲しみが

泣き出したせいかな

瞳閉じれば (いつでも)

貴方の鼓動が響いてる

触れる指先 (頬伝って)

孤独を溶かしてゆく

恋焦がれ 空を 儚く舞う

この想いが零れぬ様に

轍(わだち)照らす 月明り

今 何処へ行こう

永遠の愛と引き換えに

全てを投げ出してもいいから

孤独 終わらせに行こう

切なさや運命を

越える為 名前を叫んだ

居場所なら其処にあると

陽だまりに咲いた花

夜が来る度 (いつでも)

自分が消えてしまわぬ様に

照らす行き先 (結び合って)

繋いだ手は解かない…

絡まる糸を解いて行く

一人が二人に変わる

心の隙間は

互いが埋めるから

涙の傘になろう…

恋慕う 願い 風に揺れて

この想いが零れぬ様に

愛し想い 導いて

今 何処へ行こう

永遠の愛と引き換えに

全てを投げ出してもいいから

二人で綴る物語(ストーリー)

物語(ストーリー)…
