*[REFRAIN]*
笑いを忘れた恋人たちには
新しい明日が見えてくる
涼しい顔した　2人の気持ちは
今も　ゆっくり　進むのさ
*[VERSE]*
待ちぼうけのあの人の
手紙が来るころは
僕らもう霧の中
キレイだね　キレイだね　ホラ
*[CHORUS]*
100ミリだけのカラッポを離さないでおくれ?
ただボンヤリある空を
メチャクチャにぬりかえて
*[REFRAIN]*
消えてく笑顔をぶら下げてさ\*
遠くの場所まで行くのだろう\*
涼しい顔した　2人の気持ちは
今も　ゆっくり　進むのさ
*[CHORUS]*
100年　過ぎたら　きっと　浮かびあがるだろう
100ミリだけのカラッポを離さないでおくれー
今ボンヤリある空を
メチャクチャにぬりかえて
今よりもずっとキレイな
七色の光で
*[REFRAIN/OUTRO]*
笑いを忘れた恋人たちには
新しい明日が見えてくる
涼しい顔した　2人の気持ちは
今も　ゆっくり　進むのさ
笑いを忘れた恋人たちには
新しい明日が見えてくる
涼しい顔した　2人の気持ちは
今も　ゆっくり　進むのさ

Warai o wasureta koibito-tachi ni wa
Atarashii ashita ga miete kuru
Suzushii kao shita futa-ri no kimochi wa
Ima mo yukkuri susumu no sa
*[VERSE]*
Machibouke no ano hito no
Tegami ga kuru koro wa
Bokura mou kiri no naka
Kireida ne kireida ne hora
*[CHORUS]*
Hyaku-miri dake no karappo o hanasanaide okure?
Tada bon'yari aru sora o
Mechakucha ni nuri kaete
*[REFRAIN]*
Kiete ku egao o burasagete sa\*
Tōku no basho made yuku nodarou\*
Suzushii kao shita futa-ri no kimochi wa
Ima mo yukkuri susumu no sa
*[CHORUS]*
Hyaku-nen sugitara kitto ukabi agarudarou
Hyaku-miri dake no karappo o hanasanaide okure
Ima bon'yari aru sora o
Mechakucha ni nuri kaete
Ima yori mo zutto kireina
Nanairo no hikari de

Warai o wasureta koibito-tachi ni wa
Atarashii ashita ga miete kuru
Suzushii kao shita futa-ri no kimochi wa
Ima mo yukkuri susumu no sa

*[REFRAIN]*
To lovers who might have forgotten to laugh
I can see a new tomorrow
The feelings between the two cool-faced people
You are both still taking it slowly
*[VERSE]*
To those who wait and wait
By the time that letter comes
You're already in the fog
It's beautiful, it's beautiful, isn't it?
*[CHORUS]*
Don't let go of those 100 millimeters of empty space
Some space up in that blurry sky
Could you paint it all messy instead?
*[REFRAIN]*
Hanging a fading smile\*
I guess I'll go to someplace faraway\*
The feelings between the two cool-faced people
You are both still taking it slowly
*[CHORUS]*
After about a hundred years or so, surely it will come
Don't let go of those 100 millimeters of empty space
Some space up in that blurry sky
Could you paint it all messy instead?
Much prettier than it is right now
With seven-colored light
*[REFRAIN/OUTRO]*
To lovers who might have forgotten to laugh
I can see a new tomorrow
The feelings between the two cool-faced people
You are both still taking it slowly
To lovers who might have forgotten to laugh
I can see a new tomorrow
The feelings between the two cool-faced people
You are both still taking it slowly
