[English]

Hey, do you notice? Something special

It's strangely like our eyes met

Talking together as if it's natural

Hey, the days we spent without a care

Now they're so much fun, yeah

The songs I love are all the ones you shared with me

It's funny, isn't it?

I've been searching all along

For your shy profile

I want to be with you, even just a little

Happy things, fun things

I want to hear them all every day

Happiness is doubled, but we share it

When you say "Let's go home"

My heart races

Just matching the rhythm of our footsteps makes me happy

I always pretended to be joking

But I wonder, "Do I like you?"

Should I just say it? Just kidding

Hey, do you notice? I'm trying to be brave

I changed my hairstyle a bit

I remembered those casual words

Hey, is it strange?

I wonder if it suits me, oh

I start to worry

On days when I try my best

I can't even meet your eyes, ah

Without you, I feel lonely and sad

I've been searching all along

For your shy profile

I want to be with you, even just a little

I want to know more about you

Even though we're so close

I still can't ask the important things

Are we just friends?

I know, but

I can't help but hope for "maybe"

I can't stay like this forever, it makes me restless

I'm wishing for a miracle

Should I just say it? Just kidding

Recently, I've realized I've fallen for you

Happy, fun, longing

Everything has doubled

Today is better than yesterday, tomorrow will be even more...

I've been searching all along

For your shy profile

I want to be with you, even just a little

Happy things, fun things

I want to hear them all every day

Happiness is doubled, but we share it

I want to be by your side forever

I want to tell you "I love you"

Thank you for always giving me a smile

The way home has the same rhythm today

We shorten our strides

You gently held my hand

...

[Japanese]

ねえ 気づいてる?特別なこと

不思議なくらい目があったり

当たり前に2人で話すこと

ねえ なんとなく過ごした日々が

今は楽しくて yeah

好きな歌はあなたがイヤホン渡して

聴かせてくれた歌ばかりなの 笑っちゃうね

ずっと探してた

はにかんだ横顔の

あなたと少しでも一緒にいたいの

嬉しいこと 楽しいこと

全部 毎日聞きたいな

幸せは2倍だけど 半分こ

「帰ろう」って言葉に

胸が高鳴って

足音のリズム同じだけで嬉しいの

いつもふざけてるフリしてたのに

「好きかも?」気になるの

言ってしまおうかな? なんてね

ねえ気づいてる? 勇気を出してみて

髪型を少し変えてみた

何気ない言葉 覚えてたんだよ

ねえ変じゃないかな?

似合ってるかな?なんて

心配になるの Oh

頑張る日に限って

目も合わない あぁ

あなたがいないと寂しくて 切なくなる

ずっと探してた

はにかんだ横顔の

あなたと少しでも一緒にいたいの

もっとあなたのことを知りたいな

こんなに仲いいのに

肝心なことは まだ聞けずにいる

ただの友達なの?

わかってはいるけど

「もしかしたら」なんて期待してしまうの

ずっとこのままじゃソワソワするし

奇跡を願ってる

言ってしまおうかな? なんてね

最近気づいたこと あなたに恋をしてしまって

嬉しい・楽しい・恋しい

全てが2倍になったの

今日は昨日より 明日は今日より もっと...

ずっと探してた

はにかんだ横顔の

あなたと少しでも一緒にいたいの

嬉しいこと 楽しいこと

全部 毎日聞きたいな

幸せは2倍だけど 半分こ

ずっとそばにいたいよ

「大好き」伝えたい

いつも笑顔をくれてありがとう

帰り道は今日も同じリズム

歩幅を近寄せて

優しく手を握ってくれたの
