Yes, do you Remember this feeling?
Can’t stop this excitement
Can you hear this Feeling?
That’s the much-awaited sign

Becoming more bold than usual
That’s what they call summer magic
How did we fall in love?
Let’s forget that for now

I know more than you think I do
(Maybe you feel the same)
But the words which are unspoken
(Don’t want to destroy them)

So I LOVE YOU, aiming for the sun
Let our summer begin
So I LOVE YOU, complicated things
Let’s soar out without them

Oh oh oh oh oh, hey, why is it
Oh oh oh oh oh, more than usual
Oh oh oh oh oh, your eyes
Oh oh oh oh oh, I fall in love with them

Sometimes, Your smile is sad
I can’t help but want to protect it
Who are you thinking of? Tell me
Am I not good enough?

“There are days when we want to cry
I’ll lend you my shoulder if you want”
I tried saying that to you
Did it make you smile?

Getting more attracted by you as time passes
(Maybe you feel the same too)
But the words which are unspoken
(Don’t want to destroy them)

More I LOVE YOU, no matter how many times I say it
I feel that it’s not enough
More I LOVE YOU, blame it on summer
I want to say it everyday

Oh oh oh oh oh, hey, why is it
Oh oh oh oh oh, more than usual
Oh oh oh oh oh, your eyes
Oh oh oh oh oh, I fall in love with them

So I LOVE YOU, aiming for the sun
Let our summer begin
So I LOVE YOU, complicated things
Let’s soar out without them

More I LOVE YOU, no matter how many times I say it
I feel that it’s not enough
More I LOVE YOU, even when summer ends
Let me say it everyday

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah yeah!

Even from this worthless me
When it’s for your sake, somehow
A mysterious power just surges forth

Though I hold no special interests
When I’m with you, everything
Just shines with love

So stay with me more
Stay with me more
See me for myself
Stay with me more
Stay with me more
See me as who I am

Even in a world where I don’t belong
As long as there’s a space beside you
I don’t care how cramped it is

So stay with me forever
Stay with me forever
Show me your real self
Stay with me forever
Stay with me forever
Stay as who you are

You speak of tomorrow and the day after, but
I always want to make today shine the brightest

Stay with me more
Stay with me more
See me for myself
Stay with me more
Stay with me more
See me as who I am

So stay with me forever
Stay with me forever
Show me your real self
Stay with me forever
Stay with me forever
Want us to stay as we are

It’s not a special day
Nor is it an anniversary
Nor is it your birthday, but
This ordinary day called today is a treasure

My special seat is to your right
To be able to laugh out loud with you
Is there a greater happiness than that?

You see, there is no way
We will be able to live forever
So it’s about how much we can love
In this limited time we have

Why do we think that hurting others
And putting the blame on them
Will heal our own wounds?
Or is this era to blame?

How others see you, how they think of you
Unable to say what you want to say
Don’t live according to someone else’s ideals

This is the world we live in
This is the era we live in, but
I won’t throw it away yet
As long as you are here

You see, there is no way
We will be able to live forever
So it’s about how much we can love
In this limited time we have

Who knows how far our future
Will continue to stretch on, but
It’s about what we can do today
Which is to live life with all our mights

Look, the future is shouting
That the present is not the answer

Making a mess
Veering from the path
These things happen alot

But in the end
My eyes never leave you
Want to stay beside you, watch over you forever

I love you so much
That there is no way I can love you more

Up till now and into the future too
Forever the Only one

When the things we believe in vanish
And anticipation turns into betrayal

As if this world
Is coming to an end
Such a day will surely come

If you are feeling sad
I’ll become the world’s best clown

Let me show you a dream for awhile more
You are the Only one

You are the only one
You are the only one
You are the only one
You are the only one　only one
You are the only one　only one
Forever the Only one

You are the Only one

Within this literal
Concrete jungle
Hey, is there a city
That’s more surreal than this one?
They call us
Cute, but lying beneath that
Is a cruelty that outsiders
Don’t know

Just like a snake coiled
Around a beautiful flower

Faraway, fly away
With you, try again
We can make it come true

To be scorched by dreams
That’s already long in the past
Now, aside from reality
Nothing else can charm us

So, you and I
Let’s survive

That person with the kind smile
Whom we always pass by
What if
That was his crying face?

Such constrained
Sorrow is overflowing

More, fly away
Then, try again
I know we can be saviours

I’m not talking about the earth
Or anything overly ambitious
Maybe just for the girl next door

So, you and I
Let’s survive

Within this literal
Concrete jungle
Hey, is there a city
That’s more surreal than this one?
They call us
Cute, but lying beneath that
Is a cruelty that outsiders
Don’t know

Faraway, fly away
With you, try again
We can make it come true

To be scorched by dreams
That’s already long in the past
Now, aside from reality
Nothing else can charm us

So, you and I
Let’s survive

I looked into your eyes as you gave a gentle smile
And I heard a voice say “love does not exist in this world”

Your back, so small and unreliable as always
Appears even smaller and dimmer now

How much more must I strive
Before they stop telling me to strive on?
How much tougher must I pretend to be
Before I’m no longer affected by the words “you’re so strong”?

When I realized I had reached the place of my dreams
It was, in the end, just a continuation of reality

Repeating the same mistakes even now
Unable to make them right, regret piles up

I’ll walk on like this
I’ll walk on all the way forever
I’m no longer frightened of anything
And that’s the only thing that really frightens me

How much more must I strive
Before they stop telling me to strive on?
How much tougher must I pretend to be
Before I’m no longer affected by the words “you’re so strong”?

I’ll walk on like this
I’ll walk on all the way forever
I’m no longer frightened of anything
And that’s the only thing that really frightens me

If trees could speak
What would they plead for?
As they lie, cut down mercilessly
Before the abyss of death

The god of fortune laughs
At our endless foolishness

Hey, tell me, what do you
Think of such times?
Hey, tell me, in such times
What I am thinking of
As I cry now
Who should I confess it to?

If the wind could speak
What would it plead for?
To have its color and fragrance
Polluted beyond recognition

The god of fortune laughs
At our inflated arrogance

Hey, tell me, how would you
Survive in such an era?
Hey, tell me, if I’m just
So sick in the heart
Of this era
Where should I voice this feeling?

As a single person
Standing up for it all
There’s no use in that
So are you just waiting
For someone else to stand up first?

Hey, tell me, what do you
Think of such times?
Hey, tell me, in such times
What I am thinking of
As I cry now
Who should I confess it to?

Hey, tell me, how would you
Survive in such an era?
Hey, tell me, if I’m just
So sick in the heart
Of this era
Where should I voice this feeling?

What surfaces when I close my eyes
Is the road I’ve walked up till now
It’ll soon be time for the flowers to bloom
I used to look forward to it

The you who smiled so kindly
Where have you disappeared to?

I want to turn into a flower with thorns, and wilt, scatter, crumble to dust
Don’t pick me up, just leave and forget me

I want to turn into rain, into fog, and be drenched
Let me lie down and go to sleep, leave me alone

We used to walk with fingers entwined
In the hometown I left behind
Thinking about it now, the days
When I was happy are over

The you who pulled me along by hand
Your warmth lingers

Don’t hesitate, just deliver the last blow and end this
Don’t smile with such cold eyes, you just can’t lie

I want to turn into a bird, ride on the wind towards that place
To the other side with neither pain nor love

The you who smiled so kindly
Where have you disappeared to?

I want to turn into a flower with thorns, and wilt, scatter, crumble to dust
Don’t pick me up, just leave and forget me

Don’t hesitate, just deliver the last blow and end this
Don’t smile with such cold eyes, you just can’t lie
