君はこんなに近いのに
僕は遠くを眺めてる
視線の端でさりげなく
君の存在を
気にしてた
春の陽射しのカフェテリア
偶然同じテーブルで
ハートが固まったように

言葉を交わせなかった
僕だった
好きなんだ
君が好きなんだ
初めて会った瞬間(とき)から
記憶の中の誰より
はっとして強く惹かれた
好きなんだ
君が好きなんだ
今まで
ずっと隠してた
今日こそは立ち上がって
告白しようか
Finally

人を好きになる理由は
誰も説明つかなくて
おそらくきっと
後付けさ
直感以上の"なぜ?"はない
君のまわりの友達は
みんなあきれているけれど
僕は一歩だって引かない
ランチタイムが終わっても
I love you!
突然だ
恋は突然だ
募る思い
どこかに溢れてしまう前に
どうしても言っておきたくて...
突然だ
恋は突然だ
空気を
読んで抑えてた
感情を今曝(さら)け出す
僕の愛しさは
Finally

Yes か No かの Answer よりも
ずっと胸に貯めてた
君への愛しさを
ついに解禁だ
好きなんだ
君が好きなんだ
初めて会った瞬間(とき)から
記憶の中の誰より
はっとして強く惹かれた
好きなんだ
君が好きなんだ
今まで
ずっと隠してた
今日こそは立ち上がって
告白しようか
Finally
好きなんだ君が好きなんだ
(好きなんだ)
ずっと好きだったんだ
(好きなんだ)
好きなんだ君が好きなんだ
(好きなんだ)
Finally 君に伝えよう
