Jeans single


kyou atari wa tatta hitori “ranchi ni kuridashite miru” koto mo

“manin no chikatetsu ni noru” mo daiji na koto nan da to omoeteiru

shougeki no ooi hibi ga “atashi” o oiteyuku mitai
anata no naka no basho wa totte ite ne

kore kara zutto soba ni ite mo otona ni natte fuyu ga kite mo

atashi o shiritai to omou kimochi koorasenai you ni ki o tsukete

...sukoshi wa anshin shite mitai...

aishiteru to iu serifu no shin no imi o hosshite ita kedo
kyouyuu shita jikan no naka de nantonaku rikai tta ki ga shiteiru
ruuru nado wa nai― “ima no kisetsu ni shoujiki de iyou”
kore ga futari ni ataerareta gidai

isogashikute aenai toki mo
anata o wasureteiru wake ja nai
demo kakushin ga hitsuyou naraba kotoba no kawari ni kisu o shite
...sono taion o kanjite itai...

kore kara zutto soba ni ite mo otona ni natte fuyu ga kite mo

atashi o shiritai to omou kimochi koorasenai you ni ki o tsukete


iroiro kattou wa aru n dakedo
atashi no iitai koto o subete hakidashichaeba ego ni naru no
dakara ima chanto kao o misete
...tada hontou no ai o agetai...
Sometime around today, I’d thought all alone that “trying to go out to lunch”
and “riding a full subway train” were both important things


Seems the days when there were lots of crashes keep leaving “me” behind
Attend to the places inside you, okay?

Even if I’m always by your side after this, even if I grow up and winter comes
Take care so that your feelings of thinking you want to know me don’t freeze
...I want to try and have peace of mind, a little...

Although I wanted the real meaning behind the words “I love you”
Within the time we shared, somehow or other I felt like I understood
There’s no rules or anything— “We’ll be honest in this current season”
That was the agenda presented to us

Even when we’re busy and don’t see each other
That doesn’t mean I’m forgetting you
But if you need confidence, instead of words kiss me
...I want to feel that body temperature...

Even if I’m always by your side after this, even if I grow up and winter comes
Take care so that your feelings of thinking you want to know me don’t freeze

Though there are lots of various complications,
if I just spit out everything I want to say, I’ll get egocentric
So now show me your face properly
...I just want to give you true love...
