[English]

Love letters, tears swaying in the wind

Thinking of you, my heart beats

Together, forever, guiding us

Right next to you, right now

...

Even though the sky is clear

The rain now taps on my shoulder

Is it because of the sadness searching for a place?

Maybe that's why I started to cry

When I close my eyes (anytime)

Your heartbeat resonates

Fingertips touching (tracing my cheek)

Melting away the loneliness

Longing for love, dancing fleetingly in the sky

So this feeling won't spill over

Moonlight illuminating the tracks

Now, where shall we go?

In exchange for eternal love

I’d be willing to give up everything

Let’s go end this loneliness

To overcome sadness and fate

I called out your name

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

A flower blooming in the sunlight

Every time night comes (anytime)

So I won’t disappear

Illuminating the path (bound together)

I won’t let go of the hands we’ve joined, whoa-oh

...

Untangling the threads that are intertwined

One becomes two

The gaps in our hearts are filled by each other

Let’s become an umbrella for tears

...

Longing, wishes swaying in the wind

So this feeling won't spill over

Love and thoughts guiding us

Now, where shall we go?

In exchange for eternal love

I’d be willing to give up everything

A story written by the two of us

A story

...

[Japanese]

恋綴り 涙 風に揺れて

貴方を想って胸が鳴く

二人 永遠に 導いて

今すぐ隣へ

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 whoa-oh

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
