Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yume no naka demo zutto waratte iru no ka na
Himitsu no jumon tonaeru you ni negoto tsubuyaita
Sono kuchibiru boku wa sotto furetai kara
Toki yo don't go away
Arifureta sekai demo so far away
Futari dake no basho ga aru nara sore de ii
Oyasumi day
Futari aruita michi wo hitori de tadoru toki
Nakisou ni naru boku da yo shinjite kureru ka na
Shiroi hatsuyuki maioritara sugu ni denwa shiyou
Kimi to boku no negaigoto wo kasaneru da ne
Kaze yo don't fade away
Fuzake atta kisetsu ni I say goodbye
Chikasugite mienai mahou ga toke dashite
Ima boku wa kimi no koto wo shinjiteru
Ai shite iru
Machiwabiteta
Toki yo don't go away
Arifureta sekai demo so far away
Futari dake no basho ga aru hazu kitto
Kimi dake ga ima me no mae ni
Don't go away
Sarigenai hibitachi yo don't move away
Kono kurai sekai ni kuchizuke de hi wo tomosou
Kimi dake ga boku no me ni utsutteru
Kimi wa ima yume no naka waratteru

The lyrics are melancholic, expressing the desire to stay together despite the world pulling them apart. The persona wishes for winter to come so that they can see the snowy scene with their loved one while holding hands. They hope to believe in their love, fearing that they will break down when alone. The song closes with the hope that the persona's love is also dreaming and laughing in their sleep.
Overall, the song portrays the human desire to be loved and the fear that they will be alone, which makes them hold onto their loved ones.
