くすんだ月を
Tシャツでこすってるんだ
窓辺のキミをもう少し照らしてくれ
寝ぼけた風に何度も目くばせんしてんだ
彼女の髪をもう一度揺らしてくれ
スローモーションで
 
初めてキミと出会ったときの場面を
再放送中壊れそうな程に
大人みたいな子供みたいな瞳で
どこをみてたの落ち着かなそうに
忘れられない
 
IS THIS LOVE?
THIS IS LOVE!
キミに会いたいな
理由がなくちゃ直ぐ会えないなら
何か考えなきゃ
 
夢を見ている
目を開けたまま見ている
キミとの距離がゼロになる夢を
ここで待ってる耳を澄まして待ってる
キミの足音近づく瞬間に
今か今かと
 
IS THIS LOVE?
THIS IS LOVE!
キミに会いたいな
胸が痛くて泣きそうなのは
キミのせいなんだ
 
どんどんすべり出して自分じゃないみたい
だんだん不安になって今夜も又眠れない
 
IS THIS LOVE?
THIS IS LOVE!
キミに会いたいな
理由がなくちゃすぐ会えないなら
IS THIS LOVE?
THIS IS LOVE!
効き目があるかい
古いギターで新しい歌又作ったんだよ

I brush the clouded moon
With my T-shirt
So it shines a little more as you stand by the window
As we exchange multiple glances, I ask the half asleep wind,
Sway the girl's hair for me again please
In slow motion.
 
The scene from the first time I met you
Seems like it will break while re-watching it
With eyes that were adult-like, yet also child-like,
Where were you looking at? It was as if you couldn't calm down
I'll never forget it
Is this love?
This is love!
I want to see you
If I can't meet you right away without a reason
Then I'll have to think of one
I am watching a dream
with my eyes wide open
A dream where the distance between you and I is zero
I'm waiting here, straining with my ears
to hear the moment when your footsteps draw near
"Now?! Now?!"
Is this love?
This is love!
I want to see you
The reason why my heart aches and I feel like crying is
because it is all your fault.
I keep slipping up, it's like I'm not myself anymore
I'm getting more and more uneasy, I won't be able to sleep tonight either
Is this love?
This is love!
I want to see you
If I can't meet you right away without a reason
Is this love?
This is love!
Will this have any effect?
I made another new song on this old guitar
