ato sukoshi atashi no seichou o matte
anata o muchuu ni sasetakute
mogaku atashi o kawaigatte ne

kondo au toki wa kooto mo iranai to
sonna ni futsuu ni iechau no ga wakaranai
...miruku no shiro ni chairo ga maketeiru

nani yori mo anata ni atte furetai no
subete ajiwatte tashikamete
iivun na kankei ni naritai
kawariyuku atashi no ondo o yurushite
moshi wagamama ga sugiteite mo
damatte oite ittari shinaide ne

koohii no nioi o aida ni hasande
yuui no emi o kakushi kirenai yousu de iru
...nigai dake ja mada baransu ga torenai

ume no chiru gogo ni mo chanto futari wa
kyou to onaji you ni hitogomi o
surinukerareru kashira
sorezore ga tada isogashiku shite itara
hikute no kagen mo aimai ni
wasurechaisou de fuan na no ni

anata ga koko ni iru yakusoku nado
hitotsu mo kawashite inai
itsu no manika  awairo ga atarimae ni kaori
futari o shihai shisou

dare yori mo atashi o chanto misukashite
kuchi no warusa ya tsuyogari wa “seiippai” no shouko datte


nani yori mo anata ni atte furetai no
subete ajiwatte tashikamete
iivun na kankei ni naritai
kawariyuku atashi no ondo o yurushite
moshi wagamama ga sugiteite mo
damatte oite ittari shinaide ne
Wait just a little bit for me to reach maturity
I’ll make you go crazy for me
And you’ll love that impatient me, okay?

I don’t know how to say so normally,
“This time when we meet you won’t even need a coat”
...the brown’s giving in to the white of the cream

More than anything I want to touch you,
tasting and getting to know everything
I want us to have an even connection
Forgive the hot temperature of such a quickly changing me
Even if I’m being too selfish here
Shut up, forget about it, and just don’t go away, okay?

I’m not even covering up my predominant smile
interposed between the smell of coffee
...no longer simply bitter, and hasn’t yet lost its balance

Even on an afternoon when plums fall, I wonder if
we’ll be able to properly make our way through
a crowd the same as the one today
When we’re both simply busy with our own things
I’m worried that we’ll vaguely forget
even the measure of our admirer

You haven’t made
a single promise or anything to be here
Before I knew it, a light color was the natural fragrance
Let’s take control of ourselves

Look straight through me, more than anyone else
The bluffing and mischief that comes out of my mouth is proof of my “with all my might” resolution

More than anything I want to touch you,
tasting and getting to know everything
I want us to have an even connection
Forgive the hot temperature of such a quickly changing me
Even if I’m being too selfish here
Shut up, forget about it, and just don’t go away, okay?
