見つめるたびに恋　迷いも影もない
君の笑顔で　僕の合図で　僕らだけの夢を探そう

屈託のない強がりを言うコトもない　先回りして思い悩むコトもない
リラックスして頑張ってる姿見て　なんだかふと勇気湧いた気分

「こうしたい」ってコトが揺らぐときもある
そんなときはkissできるくらい近付いて…

見つめるたびに恋　感じたまま瞳
覗きたくて　素直になって　ココに立ってるのさ
そんなに楽じゃない　だからそばにいたい
悲しみ去って　情熱知って　まだ進んでゆくよ

ウソはヘタだし　真実は残酷だし
たまに弱気　君が味方で強気
分かってるコト多すぎて　すれ違うコトもあったけど

いつからかやっと　無くしたくない
大事なモノ少し　一緒に見つけたよね　ほら
ここに　これからも…

見つめるたびに恋　感じたまま瞳
覗きたくて　素直になって　ココで待ってるのさ
見つめるたびに恋　迷いも影もない
君の笑顔で　僕の合図で　僕らだけの夢を探そう

まだ知らない明日のhappy　物語は僕らでつくろう

見つめるたびに恋　感じたまま瞳
覗きたくて　素直になって　ココに立ってるのさ
見つけたときは恋　今じゃ大きな愛
未来の君をステキにしよう　僕らだけの夢を作ろう
