Joshuseki aikosu no nioi
Mata sutteitan deshou
Anata wo karakatte
Watashi kemutagatte

Haku iki ga tabako mitai tte
Mata kodomo atsukai ne
Anata to karamatte
Ashita wa mada matte

Koohii wo katte kite to
Anata no daun ni tsutsumarete
Kanojo mitai desho to ka haite
Anata wa watashi kemutagatte

Maruboro no nioi ga
Itooshiku naru hodo ni
Ano hito no nioi ga aa
Furikaeru to kami ni nokotteiru

Dareka to aruku anata mite
Kokyuu no shikata wasurechatte
Ano hito dare nante
Anata wa zenbu kemutagatte

Seishun wo moyasu you ni
Watashi ni hi wo tsukete sutte
Kanojo demo nai shi to ka haite
Iikaesu kotoba ni tsumatte

Maruboro no nioi de
Ano koro ni modotte iku
Ano hito no nioi ga mada
Furikaeru to kami ni nokotteiru

Koi shichatte yamerannakutte
Izonsei nan desu oshiete oite yo
Chigau dareka no koi nante kemutai ne
Mou sorosoro anata kinjite

Ano hito no nioi de
Hitogomi de furikaeru
Doko ni demo aru you na koto
Sore na no ni sa sore na no ni sa

Maruboro no nioi de
Itooshiku natteita
Ano jikan dake ima demo
Furikaeru to kami ni nokotteiru

Hiragana / Katana / Kanji

君をもっと知りたくて
近づこうとするんだよ
浮ついた心のせい
君は重くなって沈むんだ

君がそっと近寄って
後ろめたくて距離をとる
どうしてこうなっちゃったかな
向き合えない僕が悪かったんだ

一歩ずつでいいからさ
せーので近寄る感じでさ

シーソーみたいね　恋するって
she's so beautiful　愛するって
お互い同時に近づかなきゃね
わかりあえない

自分のことがわからない
足元がおぼつかない
君が近づいてしまえば
またバランスが崩れちゃうんだ

きっとまずは自分の事
ちゃんと愛してあげなきゃね

シーソーみたいね　恋するって
she's so beautiful　愛するって
お互い同時に近づかなきゃね
支え合えない

君が居なくなるその前に
一歩ずつ　踏み出せるように
浮き上がったり沈んだり
その中で気持ち確かめてる

シーソーみたいね　恋するって
she's so beautiful　愛するって
時計の針がまわるほど深く
解り合いたい

シーソーみたいね　恋するって
she's so beautiful　愛するって
たくさん待たせてしまったけれど
抱きしめるよ

English Translation

I want to know you more
So I try to get closer
But because of my fluttering heart
You become heavy and sink away

When you gently approach
I feel guilty and pull away
I wonder how it turned out like this—
It's my fault for not facing you

It's okay to take it step by step
Let's approach at the same time, on count of three

Like a seesaw, love feels
She's so beautiful, love means
We both have to approach at the same time
Otherwise, we can't understand each other

I don't even understand myself
My feet feel unsteady
If you get closer to me
The balance will be lost again

First, I must properly love myself
Only then can I love you right

Like a seesaw, love feels
She's so beautiful, love means
We both have to approach at the same time
Otherwise, we can't support each other

Before you disappear from my life
I want to take one step
Rising and sinking
In that, I'm trying to confirm my feelings

Like a seesaw, love feels
She's so beautiful, love means
The deeper we go, as the clock hands spin
I want to understand you

Like a seesaw, love feels
She's so beautiful, love means
Though I made you wait so long
I'll hold you tight

Official English Translation

Just to know you better
I try getting closer
It's because of my restless heart
You get heavier and sink

Slowly you come closer to me
But I step back because I don't want you to see
How did this happen
I was too scared to face it

Step by step is fine
With both of us coming closer

Love is just like a seesaw
she's so beautiful loving is
About both coming closer
To understand each other

I don't know myself
My legs are trembling
When you come close to me
I lose my balance again

I should probably
Love myself right first

Love is just like a seesaw
she's so beautiful loving is
About both coming closer
To support each other

Before you disappear
For me to move forward
Although it's up and down
I am listening to my heart

Love is just like a seesaw
she's so beautiful loving is
Just like the clock ticks
I want us to be on the same page

Love is just like a seesaw
she's so beautiful loving is
I've made you wait for a while
Come to my arms
