Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

走り出すバス

Running buses, chasing after me

追いかけて

I want to tell you

僕は君に 伝えたかった

That the fog in my heart has cleared

心のもやもやが消えて

And I see what’s truly important

大切なものが見えたんだ

Even though the answer is so simple

こんな簡単な

Why did I hesitate and let it go?

答えが出てるのに

To be myself, that’s all I want

何にためらって 見送ったのだろう?

Let’s be honest with our impulses

僕が僕であるために

I love you, I love you so much

衝動に素直になろう

I run with all my might

大好きだ 君が 大好きだ

I love you, I love you forever

僕は全力で走る

Shout out with all my voice

大好きだ ずっと 大好きだ

I love you, I love you so much

声の限り叫ぼう

My breath is catching, can’t hold it back

大好きだ 君が 大好きだ

I love you, I love you so much

息が苦しくなるよ

It’s making me breathless

しまっておけない

I can’t keep it inside
