Album version:

Kanji

待って　電話を切らないで
ただただ　切りたくないのよ　いいでしょ？

待って　用件とかなくちゃ
かけてはいけないの？

付き合って半年になるけれど
ほんのちょっと距離感を感じてる

そう言えば　デートもしてないな
会話になる前に　ケンカしている
話したいのに

だって　昔なら朝まで
ただただ　お話何度も　したじゃない！

だって　声だけ聞きたくて
電話をくれたじゃない？

部屋の中　ゲームばかりやってるけど
楽しくってやってるわけないのです

そう言えば　最近笑ってない
プリクラの二人は　とても楽しそう
幸せそうね

そう言えば　デートもしてないな
会話になる前に　ケンカしている

そう言えば　あなたに会いたいな
会いたいな　会いたいな　ただ会いたいな
ねえ　会いたいよ
ただ　会いたいだけ

Romaji

Matte denwa wo kiranaide
Tada tada kiritakunai no yo ii desho?

Matte youken toka nakucha
Kakete wa ikenai no?

Tsukiatte hantoshi ni naru keredo
Hon no chotto kyorikan wo kanjiteru

Sou ieba deeto mo shitenai na
Kaiwa ni naru mae ni kenka shite iru
Hanashitai no ni

Datte mukashi nara asa made
Tada tada ohanashi nandomo shita ja nai!

Datte koe dake kikitakute
Denwa wo kureta ja nai!

Heya no naka geemu bakari yatteru kedo
Tanoshikutte yatteru wake nai no desu

Sou ieba saikin waratte nai
Purikura no futari wa totemo tanoshisou
Shiawase sou ne

Sou ieba deeto mo shitenai na
Kaiwa ni naru mae ni kenka shite iru

Sou ieba anata ni aitai na
Aitai na aitai na tada aitai na
Nee aitai yo
Tada aitai dake

Translation

Wait, don’t hang up
I just, just don’t want to hang up, is that OK?

Wait, am I not allowed to call you
For no reason?

It’s been a year since we met
But I’m feeling just a little distance

Come to think of it, we don’t even go out on dates
We always fight before we talk
Even though we want to talk

But didn’t we used to stay up until dawn
Just talking, all the time?

But didn’t you just call me
Because you wanted to hear my voice?

I’m doing nothing but playing video games in my room
But I'm not doing it for fun

Come to think of it, we haven’t smiled lately
In the picture from the photo booth we look like we’re having a lot of fun
We look happy, don’t we?

Come to think of it, we don’t even go out on dates
We always fight before we talk

Come to think of it, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you, I just miss you
Hey, I miss you
I just miss you
