ありがとうと君に言われると
When you say thank you to me,
なんだか切ない
It somehow makes me feel bittersweet.
さようならの後も解けぬ魔法
Even after goodbye, the spell remains unbroken.
淡くほろ苦い
Soft and bittersweet.
The flavor of life... The flavor of life...
The flavor of life... The flavor of life...
友達でも恋人でもない中間地点で
In this limbo, neither friends nor lovers,
収穫の時を夢見てる青いフルーツ
I'm dreaming of the harvest time, those blue fruits.
あと一歩が踏み出せないせいで Yeah
Because I can't take that one last step, yeah.
じれったいの何のって Baby
It's so frustrating, oh baby.
ありがとうと君に言われると
When you say thank you to me,
なんだか切ない
Somehow bittersweet
さようならの後も解けぬ魔法
A spell that won't break even after goodbye
淡くほろ苦い
Pale and bittersweet
The flavor of life... The flavor of life...
The flavor of life... The flavor of life...
甘いだけの誘い文句
Just sweet pick-up lines
味気のないTalk
A bland talk
そんなものには興味をそそられない
I'm not intrigued by such things
思い通りにいかない時だって
Even when things don’t go as planned
人生捨てたもんじゃないって
Life isn’t something to throw away
「どうしたの？」と
"What's wrong?"
急に聞かれると
When suddenly asked,
「ううん、何でもない」
"No, it's nothing at all."
さようならの後に消える笑顔
A smile that fades after goodbye,
私らしくない
It's not like me.
信じたいと願えば願うほど
The more I wish to believe,
なんだか切ない
The more it feels bittersweet.
「愛してるよ」よりも「大好き」の方が
Rather than "I love you," saying "I really like you"
君らしいんじゃない
Seems more like you.
The flavor of life...
The flavor of life...
忘れかけてた人の香りを
The scent of someone I nearly forgot.
突然思い出す頃
Around the time I suddenly remember
降り積もる雪の白さをもっと
I want to feel more of the purity of the falling snow
素直に喜びたいよ
I want to genuinely rejoice
ダイヤモンドよりも軟らかくて
Softer than diamonds
温かな未来
A warm future
手にしたいよ限りある時間を
I want to hold onto the limited time
君と過ごしたい
I want to spend it with you
ありがとうと君に言われると
When you say 'thank you' to me
なんだか切ない
I can't help but feel a little heartbroken
さようならの後も解けぬ魔法
Even after goodbye, the spell remains unbroken
淡くほろ苦い
Soft and bittersweet
The flavor of life... The flavor of life...
The flavor of life... The flavor of life...
