Kanji

気がつけば　そばに
あなたが居た　いつまでも
枯れない愛で　抱きしめて
TAKE ME PLEASE

幸せの途中って　自然すぎて
少しずつ贅沢に　なってるかも …
あなたとの毎日　あこがれてた
あの頃を懐かしく　感じてます

大きなポカを　しちゃった私を
さりげない声で　つつんでくれた

気がつけば　いつも
熱い愛に　身を寄せた
涙　溢れる　愛の色

気がつけば　そばに
あなたが居た　いつまでも
枯れない愛で　抱きしめて
TAKE ME PLEASE

口付けた　夕暮れ　指絡めて
時間が過ぎてくのが　悔しかった
抱き合った　冬の日　夏の海も
目をつぶれば　まぶたに焼き付いてる

わざと泣いてる　ふりをしたけれど
すぐにばれちゃった　かなわない人

気がつけば　「笑顔」
それで行けと　口癖に
なんどともなく　救われた

気がつけば　いつも
熱い愛に　身を寄せた
涙　溢れる　愛の色

気がつけば　そばに
あなたが居た　いつまでも
枯れない愛で　抱きしめて
TAKE ME PLEASE

Translation

When I realize it, you were
always by my side
Embrace me with your undying love
Take me please

The middle of happiness feels so natural
That it feels a little bit like a luxury...
I longed to spend every day with you
I feel those days nostalgically

To me, who made a huge mistake
You covered it up with a nonchalant voice

When I realize it, I was always
dependent on this burning love
The color of love that makes tears overflow

When I realize it, you were
always by my side
Embrace me with your undying love
Take me please

The night we kissed, we entwined our fingers
How frustrating that time went by so fast
The winter day that we hugged; in the summer ocean, too
If I close my eyes, it burns behind on my eyelids

I purposely pretended to cry
But you knew right away, I'm no match for you

When I realize it, it's a "smile"
And you'd tell me to go like you always do
I was always saved by that countless times

When I realize it, I was always
dependent on this burning love
The color of love that makes tears overflow

When I realize it, you were
always by my side
Embrace me with your undying love
Take me please
