Why wasn't it like this?
My yesterday was never like this.
Why am I
Not even like myself here?
Is it because I opened my heart only today?
Is it because I forgot all my lessons?
Is it because I shed the mask I wore?
Is this really me? Is this me?
The direction I take,
And the music I hear—
When I walk with you,
Everything feels so new, so new.
Like an unseen dream,
Like a bond that carries no burden,
When I am with you,
The whole world feels brand new.
Oh oh oh oh... oh...
A mischievous wave
Pulls at my feet,
While you say, "Come,"
And pull my hand.
The earth pulls me down,
The sky pulls me up,
Poor me, should I cry?
What do I really want?
Hoo oh oh hoo
Hoo oh oh oh
Hoo oh oh hoo
Hoo oh oh oh
An unpolished song,
Love falling like a gentle drizzle,
Your shoulders beside me like a friend,
As sleep stays far away.
The whole country will listen to your song,
That day is not far away.
Play it saying it's for tomorrow,
Yet play it for only me to hear.
In this moment,
Play freely without keeping rhythm,
I am your very first fan, after all—
So play it for me.
What else is truly yours?
All of this is so beautiful,
Because of you, right now,
Beautiful, so beautiful.
As the street stretches endlessly ahead,
Walk along with my footsteps.
Because of you, my darling,
Everything is so new, so new.
Why wasn't it like this?
My yesterday was never like this.
Why am I
Not even like myself here?
Is it because I opened my heart only today?
Is it because I forgot all my lessons?
Is it because I shed the mask I wore?
Is this really me? Is this me?
The direction I take,
And the music I hear—
When I walk with you,
Everything feels so new, so new.
Like an unseen dream,
Like a bond that carries no burden,
When I am with you,
The whole world feels brand new.
Haa... aah... ah... ah...
Hoo oo oo oo ooo oo... haa.. aah...
