Lyrics

だいたい退屈ばっかりのこの世界で…
– daitai taikutsu bakkari no kono sekai de…

あなたのこと想って目覚めた週末の朝は
– anata no koto omotte mezameta shuumatsu no asa wa
ひとり振りだしに戻ったみたいな朝
– hitori furidashi ni modotta mitai na asa

毎日、心に名前をあげる
– mainichi, kokoro ni namae wo ageru
恋のレトロニム
– koi no retoronimu

だいたい退屈ばっかりのこの世界で
– daitai taikutsu bakkari no kono sekai de
とっくのとうにわたしたちは特別なんだよ
– tokku no tou ni watashi tachi wa tokubetsu nan da yo
たいがい曖昧ばっかりのあの未来へ
– taigai aimai bakkari no ano mirai e
きっと新しい毎日はわたしだけのもの
– kitto atarashii mainichi wa watashi dake no mono

あなたもふと想ってくれる時があるのかな
– anata mo futo omotte kureru toki ga aru no ka na
心が今、ふわっと浮かんで溢れそう
– kokoro ga ima, fuwatto ukande afuresou

こうして隣にいる
– kou shite tonari ni iru
それだけで胸が騒がしい
– sore dake de mune ga sawagashii

だいたい大切ばっかりのこの世界で
– daitai taisetsu bakkari no kono sekai de
やっと見つけた わたしらしさ ふたつとないもの
– yatto mitsuketa watashi rashisa futatsu to nai mono
たいがい会いたいなんてこと言えないけれど
– taigai aitai nante koto ienai keredo
きっとそれすら、あなたには見透かされてるわ
– kitto sore sura, anata ni wa misukasareteru wa

例えば、すべて光 それでもかまわない
– tatoeba, subete hikari sore demo kamawanai
あなたがいるから信じていられる
– anata ga iru kara shinjite irareru
「わたしはわたし」と
– “Watashi wa watashi” to

だいたい退屈ばっかりのこの世界で
– daitai taikutsu bakkari no kono sekai de
とっくのとうにわたしたちは特別なんだよ
– tokku no tou ni watashi tachi wa tokubetsu nan da yo
たいがい曖昧ばっかりのあの未来へ
– taigai aimai bakkari no ano mirai e
きっと新しい毎日はわたしだけのもの
– kitto atarashii mainichi wa watashi dake no mono

きっとこれからの毎日は
– kitto kore kara no mainichi wa
あなたとわたしだけのもの!
– anata to watashi dake no mono!

English Translation

In this world of mostly boring things…

I wake up on a weekend morning thinking of you,
Feeling like I’m back at square one, all alone

Every day, I call your name in my heart
A retronym of love

In this world of mostly boring things
There has always been something special about us
Into a mostly uncertain future I go
The new everyday is surely mine alone

I wonder if you suddenly think of me too
My heart is floating, on the verge of overflowing

Just being next to you like this
Makes my heart restless

In this world of mostly precious things
At last I found my true self, the only one in the world
It’s hard to say “I want to see you”
But I’m sure you see right through me

I don’t care if it’s all an illusion
With you here, I’m able to believe
That I am me

In this world of mostly boring things
There has always been something special about us
Into a mostly uncertain future I go
The new everyday is surely mine alone

From now on,
the new everyday is mine alone!
