[English]

Whoo, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Always with you, ooh, whoo-ooh-ooh, whoo-ooh

Do you remember? Our first kiss

The bench in the corner of the park

Now (now) it's nostalgic, huh

Hey, are you listening?

We were just talking normally a moment ago

Now (now) I could literally fall asleep anywhere

Well, it can't be helped

It annoys me, but your sleeping face is cute

If I tell you, you'll probably get full of yourself, huh

No matter how wonderful you are

No matter how pathetic you may be

I swear I'll love you

I want to be by your side, with you

I feel like this

You're the only one in the whole world

Baby, stay with me forever

Where shall we go together?

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Always with you, ooh, whoo-ooh-ooh, whoo-ooh

Saying “I love you” feels embarrassing

I just say “I like you” normally

Even so, does it get across? (Does it?)

Hey, do you know?

It still makes my heart skip a beat at random moments

Well, that depends on your perspective though

Just for a moment

Even your brightest face

I know it best, huh

No matter how wonderful you are

No matter how pathetic you may be

I swear I'll love you

I want to be by your side, with you

Around this time next year

I wonder what kind of scenery we'll be seeing

Baby, stay with me forever

Where shall we go together?

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Always with you, ooh, whoo-ooh-ooh, whoo-ooh

Always with you, ooh, whoo-ooh-ooh, whoo-ooh

...

[Japanese]

Whoo, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Always with you, ooh, whoo-ooh-ooh, whoo-ooh

おぼえてる？二人の first kiss

公園の隅っこのベンチ

今では（今では）懐かしいね

ねぇ 聞いてる？

さっきまで普通に話してたのに

もう（もう）本当どこでも寝ちゃうんだから

しゃあないな

ムカつくけど寝顔が可愛い

教えたら調子乗るだろうな はぁ

どんな素敵な君も

どんなに情けない君も

愛すると誓うよ

隣にいたい with you

こんな気持ちになるの

世界中君しかいないよ

Baby ずっと stay with me

どこまで行こう with you

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Always with you, ooh, whoo-ooh-ooh, whoo-ooh

「アイシテル」なんて恥ずかしくて

普通に「好き」って言う

それでも伝わってる？（伝わってる？）

ねぇ 知ってる？

ふとした時いまだにドキッてする

まぁ 見る角度によってだけどね

一瞬ね

一番輝いてる顔も

私が一番知ってるから はぁ

どんな素敵な君も

どんなに情けない君も

愛すると誓うよ

隣にいたい with you

来年の今頃は

どんな景色を見てるかな

Baby ずっと stay with me

どこまで行こう with you

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Always with you, ooh, whoo-ooh-ooh, whoo-ooh

Always with you, ooh, whoo-ooh-ooh, whoo-ooh
