Matataku hoshi no aosaga
Anata no mail no moji ni naru
Nemurenai yoru no dokoka itsudatte
Kokoro wa kokoro wo sagashitetru
Televi wo keseba toku mieru genjitsu
Ima kokoni ar u tokimeki ga miru mirai wo shiritai

Anata no shinjiru koto kara eien ni

Te umareru nara
Guess anata e no omio wo
Kanarazu saigo wa dakishimetai

Yogoreta machi no kiku ni
Tokidoki jibun wo miushinau
Garasu no hahen dato kigatsuitetemo
Doushite? Nigirishimete shimau

Anata no koe ga kikoeru basho
Oshiete
Sokoniwa itsumo
Shinjitsu ga aru hazu dato
Omouyo

Anata no shinjiru koto kara
Eien ni te umareru nara
Guess futari ni dekiru koto
Kanarazu itsudemo dakishimetai

Anata no shinjiru koto kara
Eien ni te umareru nara
Guess atana e no omoi wo
kanarazu saigo wa dakishimetai

Futari ni dekiru koto
Kanarazu kokorode dakishimetai
