Romaji

Jitto senaka wo mitsume
Dakishimeyou ka kangaeru

Daitan na koto wa souzou suru dake
(Rararararara rararawouwoo)
Ookii bakkari de tobenai hane
(Anata dake ga watashi no shinyuu)
Sunao na kotoba wa mata oazuke
(Rararararara rararawouwoo)
Kantan ni narete shimau no wa naze
(Anata dake ga watashi no shinyuu)

Ofuro no ondo wa nurume
Amaekata datte chuutohanpa
Sore koso amae kana

Anshin dekiru atatakai basho de
(Rararararara rararawouwoo)
Daisuki na sakka no hon wo hiraite
(Anata dake ga watashi no shinyuu)

Kinou no kotoba hayaku wasurete
(Rararararara rararawouwoo)
Daisuki na hito wo utagau no wa naze
(Anata dake ga watashi no shinyuu)

Mukaikaze ga chansu da yo ima tobe
Endingu no sukoshi temae de tojinaide

Ashita ni sonae dekiru koto mo aru kedo
Hayame ni neru yo, kyou wa

Anata no mae de iitai koto wo kami ni kaite
Yume miteru yo oozora

English

I quietly watch your back
Wondering if I should hold you

I can only imagine such a daring thing
(Lalala, la, lala, lalala, woh, woh)
My wings can't fly over something this big
(Only you are my close friend)
Honest words won’t come
(Lalala, la, lala, lalala, woh, woh)
Why is it so easy to settle into familiarity?
(Only you are my close friend)

The bath water becomes lukewarm
Even my flirting is half-hearted
Maybe that in itself is flirting?

In this warm place that comforts me
(Lalala, la, lala, lalala, woh, woh)
I open a book by my favorite author
(You are my only close friend)

Why do we forget yesterday's words so quickly
(Lalala, la, lala, lalala, woh, woh)
And doubt the people we love?
(You are my only close friend)

The wind blowing in your face is your chance, fly now
Don’t close the book this close to the ending

There are things I can prepare for tomorrow
But today I’ll just have an early night

I’ve written down everything I want to say to you on a piece of paper
And now I’m dreaming of the big sky
