そっと風が吹いて　水滴がきらめく

いつも通りの道　違って見えた

きれいな景色だと素直に思うのは

光のせいじゃなく

隣で君が笑うから

1%　近づいた距離

だけどもどかしくて

ポケットにしまった気持ち

解放してもいいかな

歩道橋から　君越しに見た

雨上がりの町は

僕らを反射してた

時よ､　止まらないで

そっと風が吹いて　水滴がきらめく

いつも通りの道　違って見えた

きれいな景色だと素直に思うのは

光のせいじゃなく

隣で君が笑うから

1%　近づいた距離

だけどもどかしくて

ポケットにしまった気持ち

解放してもいいかな

歩道橋から　君越しに見た

雨上がりの町は

僕らを反射してた

時よ､　止まらないで

扉　閉め忘れて　本音が顔を出す

わざと待ってたんだ　君のノックを

コップの跡がコースターに滲んでる

君の気持ちが今

僕に流れ込んでくるよ

握った手から　うつる体温　あたたかい指先

透き通るような優しさに　包まれたくて　もっと

不器用すぎて　伝わらなくて　でもそれでよかった

止められない感情　やっと気付けたから

手離すのなら　持たなくていい　そう思ってたのに

ガラス作りの　心臓じゃない　我慢できない

答えはすぐ　目の前にあったんだ

自分についた　ホントの嘘が　静かに溶けていく

どうしてだろう　フタをしてても　溢れ出てくる

こころ

もう待てないよ　こぼれてしまう　思いは渦になる

たくさんの色が混ざっても　透明なまま　いつか

こころはどこに　あると思うか　君に聞かれたとき

答えられなかったけど

今は　きっと　涙の中って言うよ

The wind is blowing softly

Drops of water are glistening all around

These same old streets look so lovely today

But if I were to be perfectly honest

The splendor came not from the scene before me

But from your smiles so close besides me

Even though we are 1% closer together, I still cannot find the words

To finally free these locked up feelings I have for you

While over a bridge, I looked past you to see

The city draped in the fresh scent of rain

I could see us reflected in the view

And I begged time, oh please do not stop there

The wind blows softly as drips of water glisten

The same old streets looked somehow different

But the fact I can find this scenery so beautiful

Isn’t just because of the lighting

But because you’re smiling here beside me

Our distance has shrunk 1%, but things still feel so uncertain

Can I finally release these feelings that I’ve kept sealed away in my pocket?

From atop a footbridge, I look past you to catch a view of this city, just after the rain

I saw us reflected there

Oh, time, please don’t stop now!

I forgot to close the door, so my true feelings showed their face

They were waiting all this time for you to knock

The sweat from my cup is bleeding into the coaster below

Your feelings, in this moment

Come flowing into me

I feel the warmth transferred from your hand into mine — those warm fingertips

I want to be wrapped in this seemingly transparent tenderness more and more!

I’m too clumsy… I couldn’t manage to express it, but that’s okay

'cause I was finally able to realise what this uncontrollable feeling was

If you’ll eventually have to let it go, why bother keeping it in the first place? That’s what I had always thought…

But it’s not like my heart’s made of glass… and I just can’t hold back any longer

The answer was right before my very eyes

The true lie I had told myself gently melts away

I wonder why… even if I put a lid on it, it keeps flowing forth

From my heart

I can’t wait any longer — they’re gonna spill out! My feelings form a whirlpool

But even if their myriad of colours mix, they’ll remain transparent, until someday

When you ask me, “Where can our hearts be found?”

I couldn't give you an answer before…

But now, I’m sure I’d say, “Within our tears.”
