線路沿いの道を自転車で走って
Running along the train track on my bike
君を乗せた電車を追いかけた
Chased after the train carrying you
今さら気づいてももう遅すぎるね
Even if I realize now, it’s already too late
僕の知らないどこかへ行っちゃった
You’ve gone somewhere I don’t know
このペダルを(このペダルを)
This pedal (this pedal)
立ち漕ぎして(立ち漕ぎして)
Pushing up by standing (pushing up)
全力で向かえば間に合うのかな(急行待ち)
Thinking I can make it if I give my all (waiting for the express)
次の駅
Next station
やさしさを愛だと勘違いしていた
Mistook kindness for love
僕は一人浮かれてただけか
Maybe I was just daydreaming alone
みんなにやさしい君に腹が立つ
I get annoyed at you, who’s always so kind
愛は僕の Monopoly
Love is my Monopoly
...

見えない将来も君が手を繋ぎ
With you holding hands, even the invisible future
一緒にいてくれると思ってた
I thought you’d stay with me forever
そう勝手に(そう勝手に)
Just fooling myself (just fooling myself)
甘えてたんだ(甘えてたんだ)
Relying on you (relying on you)
僕の目の前には君しかいない(誰も見えない)
In front of my eyes, it’s only you I see (no one else)
独り占めその全て
Believing I could take you all for myself
僕だけのものだと思い込んでいたよ
Thinking you belonged only to me
だっていつも君がやさしくて
Because you’re so kind to everyone
誰にも微笑むなんて罪作り
Smiling at anyone, that’s so cruel
君は僕の Monopoly
You’re my Monopoly

追いついて間に合っても
Even if I catch up in time
何て声を掛けるんだ?
What should I say?
そう今日までの誤解を
Before I fully clear up
(一気に)解く前に
the misunderstandings of today
君が好きだ
I love you
誰にもやさしい君は素敵だよ
You, so kind to everyone, are wonderful
だけどそれをまだ飲み込めない
But I still can't accept that
やさしさを愛だと勘違いしていた
Mistook kindness for love
僕は一人浮かれてただけか
Maybe I was just daydreaming alone
みんなにやさしい君に腹が立つ
Getting annoyed at you, so kind to everyone
愛は僕の Monopoly
Love is my Monopoly
片想いの Monopoly
Unrequited love Monopoly
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
そのハートを独占したいんだ
I want to monopolize that heart
Whoa, whoa
