無意識に昇った階段が
何段あったなんて覚えてないだろ？
過ぎ去った日々の僕たちは
どんなことをいつも語り合った？
そんな関係が
楽だった二人なのに
だけどある日 なぜかふいに
違う気持ちに気づいたんだ
ときめき草の花が咲いたよ
心のその片隅
友達じゃいられない
特別な存在
日差しの中 微笑む君に
ハッとしたその瞬間
初めての感情が
胸の奥でそっと揺れていた
どうだっていい日常のヒトコマ
何かの意味があるんだ
あの時 君と会ったこと
今やっと 理由(わけ)がわかって来た
古い友達の
一人と誤解してた
異性として見れないのは
早すぎたんだ まだ蕾で…
ときめき草は好きになりそう
春がまた巡って
ほのかな愛しさは
華やかになるはず
過去のどこかにヒントはあるよ
未来に何が起きる？
ようやく 咲きそうな
恋の花をそっと守りたい
ねえもっと(ねえもっと)
そう早く(そう早く)
君のこと 好きになってたら
告白をもうしてたか？
ときめき草の花が咲いたよ
心のその片隅
ときめき草は好きになりそう
春がまた巡って
ほのかな愛しさは
華やかになるはず
過去のどこかにヒントはあるよ
未来に何が起きる？
ようやく 咲きそうな
恋の花をそっと守りたい
English Translation
Without thinking, I climbed the stairs
But I couldn’t tell you how many there were
The days we left behind
What did we always talk about?
We were so comfortable
The kind of friends who never had to try
But one day, without warning
Something inside me felt different
A flower of first love has bloomed
In the corner of my heart
We can’t stay just friends
You’ve become someone special
As the sunlight touched your smiling face
In that fleeting moment, I knew
A feeling I had never known
Had begun to stir deep inside
The ordinary pieces of everyday life
They all hold meaning somehow
Meeting you back then
Now I finally understand why
I thought of you as
Just another old friend.
Maybe I couldn’t see you differently
Because it was too soon—
The flower was still a bud
First love is about to bloom
As spring returns once again
This faint affection
One day, will blossom in full
Somewhere in the past, there’s a clue
What will the future bring
Now that love is ready to bloom
I just want to keep it safe
If only, if only
I had fallen for you sooner
Would I have already confessed?
A flower of first love has bloomed
In the corner of my heart
First love is about to bloom
As spring returns once again
This faint affection
One day, will blossom in full
Somewhere in the past, there’s a clue
What will the future bring?
Now that love is ready to bloom
I just want to keep it safe
