Setsuna sa ga gyutto
Doushiyou mo nakute
Ichiban chikaku ni ita hazu datta no ni ne
Mou inai
Dare yori mo wakatte iru to
Omotte ita no ni ne
Ano goro no futari
Koibito no you ni
KYANDORU RAITO wo
Mou ichido tomoshitai
Anata wo ichiban soba de komarasete
Honto ni gomen ne
Mou ichido ano goro modoritai
Takaramono sugite sou
Taisetsu ni tsutsumi shimatte oitara
Hontou no imi wo miushinatte itan da ne
Futari no jikan wa tomatte iru kedo
Taisetsu ni omou
Tsunagatte itai
Te to te wo awasu you ni
Me wo tsubuttete mo
Anata shika mie nai
Anata ga korekara
Mamotte yuku anoko he
Futari de korekara
KYANDORU RAITO wo
Tomoshite ite ne
