まちがいさがしの 間違いの方に
In the search for mistakes, toward the way of errors,
生まれてきたような 気でいたけど
I felt as if I was born to be this way,
まちがいさがしの正解の方じゃ
But if I had searched for the right answer,
きっと 出逢えなかったと思う
I'm sure I would never have met you.
相応しく 笑い合えること
Being able to laugh together, so fitting,
なぜだろうか 涙が出ること
Why is it that tears come rolling down?
君の眼が貫いた 僕の胸をまっすぐ
Your eyes pierced straight through my heart,
その日から 何もかも 変わり果てた気がした
Since that day, everything felt completely changed.

In the deep corner of spring, about to be carried off by the wind,
退屈なくらいに 何気なくそばにいて
You’re so casually by my side that it’s almost boring.
まちがいだらけの些細な隙間で
In the tiny gaps filled with mistakes,
くだらない話を くたばるまで
We'll share trivial tales until we fade away.
正しく在りたい 在れない寂しさが
The loneliness of wanting to be correct, yet unable to,
何を育んだでしょう
What has it nurtured, I wonder?
一つずつ探し当てていこう
Let's start uncovering them, one by one.
起きがけの子供みたいに
Like a child waking up from sleep,
君の手が触れていた 指を重ね合わせ
As your hand touched mine, our fingers intertwined.
間違いか 正解か だなんてどうでもよかった
It didn't matter whether it was right or wrong.
瞬く間に落っこちた 淡いもやの中で
In the blink of an eye, I fell into a soft haze.
君じゃなきゃいけないと ただ強く思うだけ
All I can think is, it has to be you.
君の眼が貫いた 僕の胸をまっすぐ
Your eyes pierced straight through my heart,
その日から 何もかも 変わり果てた気がした
And since that day, everything felt forever changed.
風に飛ばされそうな 深い春の隅で
In the deep corner of spring, ready to be whisked away by the wind,
誰にも見せない 顔を見せて
Show me your face, one that nobody else can see.
君の手が触れていた 指を重ね合わせ
Your hand touched mine, our fingers intertwined,
間違いか 正解か だなんてどうでもよかったんだ
Whether it's right or wrong, it didn’t matter at all,
瞬く間に落っこちた 淡いもやの中で
In the blink of an eye, I fell into a gentle haze,
君じゃなきゃいけないと ただ強く思うだけ
I just feel strongly that it has to be you.
