shizuka ni naiteru you ni mune ni hibiku
nanimo shiranai hou ga shiawase to iu kedo

adome no kikanaku naru sora ga kowaku natte

futari nara owaraseru koto ga dekiru
doushite mo raku jyanai michi wo eranderu

The Japanese song "Kimi wa Boku ni Niteiru" by See-Saw talks about the relationship between two individuals who are similar in many ways. The lyrics begin with the singer expressing that the physical appearance of their lover (kimi) resembles their own (boku ni niteiru) and that their heartbeat resonates in their chest (mune ni hibiku) like a quiet cry. The singer expresses that they do not know much about happiness, but they are sure that they will not be satisfied with anything less. They want to live in the present with their lover and cherish the moment they have chosen to face together.
The singer then questions if they can continue to do their best (ganbaru) and struggle on, even when the road ahead is uncertain (adome no kikanaku naru sora ga kowaku natte). The singer reflects on their simple and straightforward life, where they do not focus on the materialistic things in life (suna ni mamireta kutsu wo harau koto mo naku). However, they believe that if they have their lover by their side, they can find happiness, smile, and nod in agreement (waratte unazuite kureru darou kimi nara). The song ends with the singer's vow to make a promise to their lover, to run towards them when the time comes, to catch their gaze and never let it go, and to love them even without words.
