My feelings are always…
Yes, swaying gently
Because I keep thinking about you constantly
I want to stay right here by your side from now on
That’s what I’m thinking—what about you?
I want you to tell me
To you, someone special
It started with a “Good morning” from you
A summer morning that felt a bit aloof
But even that felt like happiness
In the midst of ordinary conversation
A casual remark from you makes me grin
Complaining about club practice on a rainy day
Or freaking out about studying for a test
Things only I know about
Long phone calls before bed that go on for no reason
We never want to hang up
So we’d say “One, two…” and end them together
I wonder when it started—this time with you
Growing so big
Hey…
My feelings are always…
Yes, swaying gently
Because I keep thinking about you constantly
I want to stay right here by your side from now on
That’s what I’m thinking—what about you?
I want you to tell me
To you, someone special
Our conversations are always…
I… A conversation where we just nod along—
even that alone makes me happy.
I know you aren’t thinking too deeply about it,
but even so…
I wonder when it started—
your words became so special to me.
You know?
My feelings are always,
yes, swaying gently.
I keep thinking about you constantly,
so I wonder… could I become someone special to you, too?
Let me stay by your side—I want to be right next to you.
I wonder if it doesn’t suit me?
I just don’t want to lose you.
That smile you showed her—
it was a smile I didn’t know.
“Oh, I hate this,”
“I’m being silly, aren’t I?”
That’s how I felt.
So there really are sides of you I don’t know, after all.
Oh, I want to see you tomorrow, and the day after that, too.
My feelings are always,
yes, swaying gently.
I keep thinking about you constantly,
so shall we go out somewhere tomorrow?
A summer day just for the two of us.
Always, you and me—
holding hands,
let’s walk together, no matter how far we go.
I want to stay right here by your side from now on.
It’ll be okay—I’m sure, sure, sure it will.
I won’t ever let go.
I love you so much.
To you, who mean the world to me.
