English Translation

I can't call it "fate"
How many centimeters closer do I need to get?
I keep staring at your back, can't bring myself to say "I want you."

Overwhelmed by each passing day.
I don't have the courage to ask you out.
The more dazzling you get,
the more pathetic I become. 

The thrill that comes from (Our time apart + Seeing you smile)÷2  
Me, the clumsy one x You, who acts so tough; We could be so good together.
When I finally realize it

I still can't call it "fate"
How many centimeters closer do I need to get?
What can I actually do for you?
That day when you smiled at me like everything was okay.
How many centimeters ahead are you walking? 
Could I catch up if I say "I want you."

In a simple moment,
I felt your loneliness
I'm so weak, can you see?
I can't leave you anymore

(The chance I've been given + The talk I can't have)÷2
Even if it's vain and futile
Maybe I found you because of An Uncertain "Today" x Unstable Emotions 

So I want to believe that this is "fate"
Can I come a few centimeters closer?
I feel my heartstrings tearing every time you glance at me.
Your smile, your words
have piled countless centimeters high, and won't disappear.
Words can't express how much I think about you.

Until I can finally call it "fate"
Until my thoughts reach you and your fake smile.
Something that an ordinary me could do.

I still can't call it "fate"
How many centimeters closer do I need to get?
I feel like I could change little by little.
When I get there,
I'll be the first to say "everything is okay."
I hope my everlasting love reaches you one day.
