Mou kokage ga naku natte shimatta kurai

Sou koutei wo terashiteiru natsu no taiyou

Masshiro na shatsu no senaka ga ase de nurete

Kata de iki wo tsuku kimi ga itooshikatta

Nante koe wo kakereba ii omoikiri dakishimetai

Kokoro wa sakebi nagara

Bukiyou na koi wo shiteita

“Kimi ga suki da”

Furimukasenakute mo kanarazu omoi wa tsutawaru

Poniiteeru dake mitsumete

Kimi wo tooku kara tooku kara suki de iru

Moshi me to me ga attara dousureba ii ka wakaranai

Kitto buzama na boku ni naru

Sonzai ni kidzuite inai hou ga

Otagai jiyuu de irareru darou

Mou sukoshi katte ni suki de isasete

Aa kono mama ato dore kurai koko ni ireba

Sou higurashi ga gekoujikoku oshieru darou?

Guraundo wa dare mo inaku natte shimatta

Boku wa bouzen to soko ni tachitsukushiteita

Kimi to kaeritakatta nda yuugure no shoutengai

Jitensha oshite aruku

Amazuppai koi no mousou

“Yume wo miteita”

Furimukaseyou to wa omotte nanka wa inai nda

Musunda ribon nagame nagara

Ima no kankei de kankei de kamawanai

Futari ga mukiattara nani wo hanaseba ii no darou?

Zettai mukuchi na boku ni naru

Itoshisa ni kidzukaretenai hou ga

Dare datte shizen ni furumaeru mono

Sotsugyou suru made suki de isasete

“Kataomoi de ii nda”

Furimukasenakute mo kanarazu omoi wa tsutawaru

Poniiteeru dake mitsumete

Kimi wo tooku kara tooku kara suki de iru

Moshi me to me ga attara dousureba ii ka wakaranai

Kitto buzama na boku ni naru

Sonzai ni kidzuite inai hou ga

Otagai jiyuu de irareru darou

Mou sukoshi katte ni suki de isasete

もう　木陰が　なくなってしまったくらい

そう　校庭を照らしている夏の太陽

真っ白なシャツの背中が汗で濡れて

肩で息をつく君が愛おしかった

何て声を掛ければいい　思い切り抱きしめたい

心は叫びながら

不器用な恋をしていた

「君が好きだ」

振り向かせなくても　必ず想いは伝わる

ポニーテールだけ見つめて

君を遠くから　遠くから好きでいる

もし目と目が合ったら　どうすればいいかわからない

きっと無様な僕になる

存在に気づいていない方が

お互い自由でいられるだろう

もう少し勝手に好きでいさせて

ああ　このまま　あとどれくらいここにいれば

そう　蜩(ひぐらし)が下校時刻　教えるだろう？

グラウンドは誰もいなくなってしまった

僕は呆然とそこに立ち尽くしていた

君と帰りたかったんだ　夕暮れの商店街

自転車　押して歩く

甘酸っぱい恋の妄想

「夢を見ていた」

振り向かせようとは　思ってなんかいないんだ

結んだリボン　眺めながら

今の関係で　関係で構わない

２人が向き合ったら　何を話せばいいのだろう？

絶対　無口な僕になる

愛しさに気づかれてない方が

誰だって自然に振る舞えるもの

卒業をするまで好きでいさせて

「片想いでいいんだ」

振り向かせなくても　必ず想いは伝わる

ポニーテールだけ見つめて

君を遠くから　遠くから好きでいる

もし目と目が合ったら　どうすればいいかわからない

きっと無様な僕になる

存在に気づいていない方が

お互い自由でいられるだろう

もう少し勝手に好きでいさせて

The shade of trees are already gone

With the summer sun illumnating the schoolyard

The back of your white shirt drenched with sweat

Breathing so heavily, as I loved you

How do I say it out loud?

I want to hug you as much as I can

My heart screams out as I clumsily love you

"I Love you"

I'll make sure to convey my feelings, even if you won't notice

By staring only at the ponytail

I will love you from far far away

I don't know what to do if our eyes ever meet

I will definitely become awkward

Let's not take notice of each other's existence

That way we can remain free

Let me selfishly love you a little more

Oh, how long has it been

Has the cicadas announced summer's arrival?

There's no one left in the schoolgrounds

I stood there alone in stunned silence

I always wanted to go home with you

Through the shopping district at dusk

Walking my bike alongside you

The bittersweet delusion of love

"I was dreaming about it"

What does it take for you to just turn around?

I don't even know, I don't think i will

Just by looking at the tied ribbon

It doesn's matter, we're nothing to eachother anyways

What should we do when we face eachother?

What should I talk about?

Or will I be silent again

Those who are not aware of their love

Can just behave naturally

Just let me love you until you graduate

"Even if it's a one - sided love"

I'll make sure to convey my feelings, even if you won't notice

By staring only at the ponytail

I will love you from far far away

I don't know what to do if our eyes ever meet

I will definitely become awkward

Let's not take notice of each other's existence

That way we can remain free

Let me selfishly love you a little more
