Kimi ni wa wakaranai ore no kotoThere are things about me that you just don’t understand
Miushinaisou na daiji na monoSomething precious that I’m on the verge of losing sight of
Kimi ga tonari ni take that photoYou’re right here next to me, so go on and take that photo
Mainichi aruku michi wa itsumo SoloBut the path I walk every day is always solo
Nameteru Cough DropI’m sucking on a cough drop
Nodo ga karesou deSince my throat feels like it’s about to go hoarse
Mawaru coffee cupThe coffee cup just keeps on spinning
Mezametai nomu kafeinI’m drinking caffeine because I want to wake up
Kimi no koto yobuI’m calling out your name
Zenryoku no koe deWith every bit of strength in my voice,
Kimi ga yorokobuSimply because I really want to see
Toko mitakuteThe moment that you’re happy
Muzukashii koto kikarete mo wakaraneeEven if you ask me tough questions, I won’t know the answer
Tadashiku ikiru hodo machigaeteThe harder I try to live properly, the more I mess up
Kimi to issho ni suru kotaeawaseChecking the answers to life’s problems right there with you,
Sekirara ni machigai o mo kasaneruWe keep piling up our mistakes while being completely exposed
Anata wa wakaru kono yo no zankokuYou understand just how cruel this world can be
Itsuka kikanaku natteta handoruThe steering wheel stopped responding properly a long time ago
Sore demo kimi to issho ni iru naraBut as long as I’m staying here by your side,
Kono genjou kara kaihou anrokkuI’ll unlock myself and break free from this situation
Kimi ni wa wakaranai ore no kotoThere are things about me that you just don’t understand
Miushinaisou na daiji na monoSomething precious that I’m on the verge of losing sight of
Kimi ga tonari ni take that photoYou’re right here next to me, so go on and take that photo
Mainichi aruku michi wa itsumo SoloBut the path I walk every day is always solo
Nameteru Cough DropI’m sucking on a cough drop
Nodo ga karesou deSince my throat feels like it’s about to go hoarse
Mawaru coffee cupThe coffee cup just keeps on spinning
Mezametai nomu kafeinI’m drinking caffeine because I want to wake up
Kimi no koto yobuI’m calling out your name
Zenryoku lo koe deWith every bit of strength in my voice,
Kimi ga yorokobuSimply because I really want to see
Toko mitakuteThe moment that you’re happy
(ELLE ARACHNE BOI)(ELLE ARACHNE BOI)
Darii ijiriI’m tired of the teasing
Piza toriau no tokaLike when we’re fighting over the last slice of pizza
Kanojo ore no sei de nani o shitennou tte tsukauShe’s wondering what she’s even doing because of me
Doko ni ite mo deetoIt’s a date no matter where we end up
Niigata ame monakaRight in the middle of the rain in Niigata
Saikin wa tsukareteruI’ve been feeling so exhausted lately
Beddo wa neru toko dashiAnd besides, the bed’s just a place to sleep
Kawaii ko no hanashi tamani shitai yoI want to talk about cute girls sometimes,
Maji warui kedoit’s really bad of me, but
Me no hoyouit’s a feast for the eyes,
Ano ko no kakkou moand even that girl’s style.
Shimiraa ga ii kedo osoro da hanko moSimilar styles are fine, but matching looks are like a seal of approval,
Shiranai furi suru kedo sono hanashi I knowI’ll pretend I don’t know, but I’ve already heard that story.
Nandemo nai hi ni ogottari suru yakinikuTreating you to ‘yakiniku’ on a day that means nothing,
Ore dake makka na me tsugi tai ikumy eyes are the only ones bloodshot as I head to gym class.
Undou onchi demo kumitaisou suruEven though I’m clumsy, I’m doing group gymnastics,
Kore mo imi ga ki ni naru?are you curious about the meaning behind this too?
Kore bakari wa suruuI’ll just skip over this one,
Kimi ni wa wakaranai ore no koto’cause there are things about me you’ll never understand.
Miushinaisou na daiji na monoI’m losing sight of the things that truly matter,
Kimi ga tonari ni take that photobut you’re right by my side, so take that photo.
Mainichi aruku michi wa itsumo SoloThe path I walk every day is always solo,

Nodo ga karesou deMy throat’s about to go hoarse,
Mawaru coffee cupwhile the coffee cup keeps spinning.
