[English]

Weoh, weoh, eh

Weoh, weoh, weoh

Your vague memory

One thing is certain

That I was loved

Things don't go as smoothly as in the movies

Everyday peace, that dream has also stopped

Hey, girl, but still

I haven't given up

I will surely shape it and deliver it

As I always say, it's just me being selfish

You think so, right?

That's why I really want to start over

Even if I'm alone

Counting the things I lack

I can't picture happiness

Only the words you gave me

Come back to life

Even if we're far apart

My you won't disappear

Still, I'm astonished

Just like that day

(Hey, girl) If I close my ears and eyes

(Hey, girl) I could meet you again and again

Don't smile so beautifully, hey

Don't be so kind

Just like that day

Because you were always by my side

No matter how many times I missed, I could rise again

Why couldn't I cherish what I had?

Your voice, warmth, smile, kindness

My story, your story

Hey, how are they different?

Maybe there will never be an answer

It's too late now, but

Your vague memory

One thing is certain

Meeting, being drawn to, wishing, and being loved

Only time flows by

You in me is fading away

But I will live, surpass you, and become stronger

(Hey, girl) If you hold my hand

(Hey, girl) You turned the rain into a rainbow

That you are no longer here

The footsteps of tomorrow hurt

Don't give up

No matter what

No matter what, baby

This heart is no longer here

Weoh, weoh, weoh

Your illusion, yes

Weoh, weoh, weoh

Ha, I'm chasing after it

Counting the things I lack

I can't picture happiness

Only the words you gave me come back to life

Even if we're far apart

My you won't disappear

Still, I'm astonished

Just like that day

(Hey, girl) I could close my ears and eyes

(Hey, girl) I could meet you again and again

You meet you as you are

All into my heart

Just like that day

Yeah, no, no

Maybe there will never be an answer

It's too late now, but

Your vague memory

One thing is certain

Meeting, being drawn to

Pushed from behind

That I was loved

Only time flows

Only I fade away (oh, oh, oh, oh)

I will become stronger

...

[Japanese]

Weoh, weoh, eh

Weoh, weoh, weoh

曖昧な君の記憶

間違いないのはひとつ

愛されたこと

映画みたいにはどうもうまくいかなくて

平穏な毎日 あの夢も止まってんだ

Hey, girl だけどまだ

投げたした訳じゃないんだ

きっとカタチにして届けてみせる

いつもいう通りひとりよがり

だとは思ってるんだ？

だから本当に出直したいんだ

ひとりきでも

足りないもの数えても

しあわせは描けなくて

君がくれた言葉だけが

蘇るんだ

たとえ遠く離れても

ぼくの君は消えなくて

あいかわらず あきれている

あの日のように

(Hey, girl) 耳も目もふさげば

(Hey, girl) 君に何度でも会えた

キレイに笑わないで ねぇ

そんなに優しくしないで

あの日のように

いつだって そばにいてくれたから

何度外しても、這い上がってこれたんだ

なんであるものを大切に出来なかったんだ

その声やぬくもり 笑顔 優しさ

自分のストーリー 君のストーリー

なぁ どう違ってるんだ？

多分永遠に答えでないよな

今更だけど

曖昧な君の記憶

間違いないのはひとつ

出会い 惹かれ 願い重ね 愛されたこと

時だけが流れてゆく

君の僕は消えてゆく

けれど生きて君を超えて 強くなるんだ

(Hey, girl) 君が手を繋げば

(Hey, girl) 雨も虹に変えた

そんな君のもういない

明日の足音が痛い

諦めないで

どうしても

どうしても baby

この胸が 今はもう居ない

Weoh, weoh, weoh

君のまぼろし そう

Weoh, weoh, weoh

Ha 追いかけるんだ

足りないもの数えても

幸せは描けなくて

君がくれた言葉だけが 甦るんだ

例え遠く 離れても

僕の君は消えなくて

あいかわらず あきれている

あの日のように

(Hey, girl) 耳も目も塞げた

(Hey, girl) キミに何度でも会えた

キミはキミのままで会う

全て僕の心の中へ

あの日のように

Yeah, no, no

多分永遠に 答えれないような

今さらだけど

曖昧な君の記憶

間違いないのは一つ

出会い 惹かれ

背中 押され

愛されたこと

時だけが流れ

僕だけが消えて (oh, oh, oh, oh)

強くなるんだ
