Lyrics
| Japanese | Romaji | English |
| 真っ新自由帳にきみのエゴを挟んで透かした | massara jiyuuchou ni kimi no ego o hasande sukashita | I interposed your ego between the pages of a brand-new notebook and saw through it |
| 透かしたから | sukashita kara | Since I saw through it, |
| どこかで貰ったボールペンを握ってなぞった | dokoka de moratta boorupen o nigitte nazotta | I seized a ballpoint pen I got from somewhere and traced it. |
| なぞったのだ | nazotta no da | I traced it. |
| わかりにくいな わかりにくいな | wakari nikui na wakari nikui na | It's hard to understand. It's so hard to understand. |
| 線を引いて間違っては | sen o hiite machigatte wa | If I made a mistake connecting the dots |
| あたしの言葉をなくしてしまおうと思ってしまったのだ | atashi no kotoba o nakushite shimaou to omotte shimatta no da | I thought I'd for sure lose my words. |
| 真っ白自由帳できみの夢を覗いて揺らいだ | masshiro jiyuuchou de kimi no yume o nozoite yuraida | I peered into your dreams using a blank notebook and wavered. |
| 揺らいだから | yurai dakara | Since I wavered, |
| あたしのこころをそっと置いていこうと思ってしまったのだ | atashi no kokoro o sotto oite ikou to omotte shimatta no da | I thought I'd lightly cast aside my heart. |
| ただ、間違わぬようにしていた | tada, machigawanu you ni shite ita | I simply couldn’t make a mistake. |
| ああ、すかすかのキャンバスに現れた影を | aa, sukasuka no kyanbasu ni arawareta kage o | Ah, the shadow that appeared on the threadbare canvas, |
| なぞっていけ なぞっていけ | nazotte ike nazotte ike | Trace it! Trace it! |
| きみの言葉をあたしにしたいからさ | kimi no kotoba o atashi ni shitai kara sa | Since I want your words to be mine, |
| その通りにしただけだったのに･･･ | sono toori ni shita dake datta noni... | I was just doing as they said... |
| 真っ新自由帳できみとあたしを重ねたから | massara jiyuuchou de kimi to atashi o kasaneta kara | Since I had overlapped you and me in a brand-new notebook, |
| 露わになった隙間と隠せなかったずれをぬりつぶしては | arawa ni natta sukima to kakusenakatta zure o nuritsubushite wa | I'll paint over the exposed crevices and the gaps I couldn't hide. |
| ただ、間違い探しをしていた | tada, machigai sagashi o shite ita | I was simply trying to spot the difference. |
| ああ、きみのゆめうつつに潜んでいた影を | aa, kimi no yume utsutsu ni hisonde ita kage o | Ah, the shadow that lurked in your trance, |
| なぞっていけ なぞっていけ | nazotte ike nazotte ike | Trace it! Trace it! |
| きみの言葉をあたしにしたいからさ | kimi no kotoba o atashi ni shitai kara sa | Since I want your words to be mine, |
| その通りにしただけだったのに･･･ | sono toori ni shita dake datta noni... | I was just doing as they said... |
| 震えた線は忘れ去られるのだろう | furueta sen wa wasuresarareru no darou | The trembling line will be completely forgotten, |
| 雨に濡れるまま 曝されるまま | ame ni nureru mama sarasareru mama | remaining wet from the rain and exposed. |
| 消えないくらいがちょうどいいという風に | kienai kurai ga choudo ii to iu fuu ni | It seeped into the rolled up pages |
| 捲ったページにしみこんで | mekutta peeji ni shimikonde | in just such a way that they wouldn't disappear. |
| ただ、間違わなかっただけだった | tada, machigawa nakatta dake datta | I just simply didn’t make a mistake. |
| ああ、すかすかのキャンバスに現れた影を | aa, sukasuka no kyanbasu ni arawareta kage o | Ah, the shadow that appeared on the threadbare canvas, |
| なぞっていけ なぞっていけ | nazotte ike nazotte ike | Trace it! Trace it! |
| きみの言葉はとても綺麗だから | kimi no kotoba wa totemo kirei dakara | Since your words are so beautiful, |
| その通りにしただけだったのに･･･ | sono toori ni shita dake datta noni... | I was just doing as they said... |
| なぞっていけ なぞっていけ | nazotte ike nazotte ike | Trace it! Trace it! |
| きみの言葉になれなかった、 | kimi no kotoba ni nare nakatta, | I couldn’t become your words. |
| あたしの真っ新にひとつ滲んだ言葉は | atashi no massara ni hitotsu nijinda kotoba wa | A single word bled into my brand-new (notebook.) |
| 疲れ果て もう見る影もないな | tsukare hate mou miru kage mo nai na | I'm so tired, I'm a mere shadow of my former self. |
| その通りにしただけだったのに･･･ | sono toori ni shita dake datta noni... | I was just doing as they said... |
| あたしは間違ってよかったのに。 | atashi wa machigatte yokatta noni. | and I’m glad I was mistaken. |
