Lyrics

ichiban saisho ni kiita ohanashi nandaka oboeteru?
hajikeru hoshi mitai na tokimeki

kamitaba ni tsuzureba nandaka houseki bako no you da ne

kakisuteta moji ni mo hibi wa utsuru

hoka no dare demo nai watashi wo arawasu tame no sain
hakisuteta kotoba yori mo senretsu ni
watashi wo kono sekai ni tsunaideru kioku dakara
donna koto mo itoshiku omoerun da

soyogu kimochi wa donna kotoba de irodoreru no ka na

English Translation

Do you remember the first story you heard?
A fluttering excitement like a bursting star
I want to remember it forever

Where should I keep my overflowing curiosity?
Written on a bundle of paper, it’s like a jewelry box

The days are reflected even in the words I casually jot down
Within the intertwined phrases
A signature that represents none other than myself
More vivid than the words from my mouth
They’re memories that connect me to the world
So I can find something to love in anything

I wonder how to describe these swaying emotions with words?
Even when I can’t weave them as I wish
I somehow want them to get across

“I want to spend more time with you,
So much that all the paper in the world wouldn’t be enough to write it all down!”

Even the scenery I can’t reach alone
Walking hand in hand
I can see forever, to the farthest limits of the sea
Even if there are days when I cry my eyes out
They’re irreplaceable pages of my life,
So I’ll keep a bookmark on every day

Whenever I looked around, someone was always there for me
So I wouldn’t be lonely
So I would smile
I’ll bind everything about me in here

The days are reflected even in the words I casually jot down
Within the intertwined phrases
A signature that represents none other than myself
More vivid than the words from my mouth
They’re memories that connect me to the world
I’m sure it’s a story like a bursting star

Shining brilliantly,
Making someone’s heart flutter
