[English]

I want to get to know you better

I'm trying to get closer

Because of my fickle heart

You become heavy and start to sink

[Music]

You quietly come closer

Feeling guilty, I keep my distance

Why did it turn out like this?

It’s my fault for not facing you

Just one step at a time is fine

Like we move closer together all at once

Love’s like a seesaw

She's so beautiful — loving is...

We have to approach each other at the same time

We can't understand each other

[Music]

I don't know myself

My footing feels unstable

If you come closer

My balance collapses again

Surely, I need to first take care of myself

And love myself properly

Love is like a seesaw

She's so beautiful — loving is...

We have to move closer at the same time

If we can't support each other

Before you’re gone

So we can step forward, one step at a time

Rising and falling

While feeling, I’m reassuring my heart

Love is like a seesaw

She's so beautiful — loving is...

Deepening as the clock’s hands turn

I want to understand each other

Love is like a seesaw

She's so beautiful — loving is...

Even though I kept you waiting so long

I’ll hold you tight

[Music]

[Japanese]

君をもっと知りたくて

近づこうとするんだよ

浮ついた心のせい

君は重くなって沈むんだ

[音楽]

君がそっと近寄って

後ろめたくて距離をとる

どうしてこうなっちゃったかな

向き合えない僕が悪かったんだ

一歩ずつでいいからさ

せーので近寄る感じでさ

シーソーみたいね　恋するって

she's so beautiful　愛するって

お互い同時に近づかなきゃね

わかりあえない

[音楽]

自分のことがわからない

足元がおぼつかない

君が近づいてしまえば

またバランスが崩れちゃうんだ

きっとまずは自分の事

ちゃんと愛してあげなきゃね

シーソーみたいね　恋するって

she's so beautiful　愛するって

お互い同時に近づかなきゃね

支え合えない

君が居なくなるその前に

一歩ずつ　踏み出せるように

浮き上がったり沈んだり

その中で気持ち確かめてる

シーソーみたいね　恋するって

she's so beautiful　愛するって

時計の針がまわるほど深く

解り合いたい

シーソーみたいね　恋するって

she's so beautiful　愛するって

たくさん待たせてしまったけれど

抱きしめるよ

[音楽]
