Lyrics[]
| Japanese | Romaji | English |
| 将来の夢を書きなさいって課題のときは | shourai no yume o kaki nasai tte kadai no toki wa | When I had homework telling me to write about my dreams for the future, |
| いつでも二番目のやつを書いて誤魔化してきた | itsu demo nibanme no yatsu o kaite gomakashite kita | I always dodged the question by answering the second thing on the page. |
| 本当に大事なことは心の中でじっくり育てたいから | hontou ni daiji na koto wa kokoro no naka de jikkuri sodatetai kara | After all, I want to carefully raise what's really important to me inside my heart. |
| とはいえ目線に滲むこの気持ち | to wa ie mesen ni nijimu kono kimochi | Although, can I totally hide these feelings |
| 隠しきれない？ | kakushikirenai? | That reveal themselves through my gaze? |
| 流石にもうバレバレかな | sasuga ni mou barebare kana | Just as you'd expect, they might already be obvious. |
| 駆け引きとか知らないけど | kakehiki toka shiranai kedo | Though I don't know any tactics, |
| カーディガンの袖ちょっと伸ばして | kaadigan no sode chotto nobashite | I'm holding out the sleeve of my cardigan a bit farther. |
| せんぱい！ | senpai! | Senpai! |
| 一緒に帰りませんか？ | issho ni kaerimasen ka? | Could we go home together? |
| せんぱい！ | senpai! | Senpai! |
| そのお菓子好きなんですね | sono okashi suki nan desu ne | You like those sweets, huh? |
| せんぱい！せんぱい！ | senpai! senpai! | Senpai! Senpai! |
| 寄り道していきませんか？ | yorimichi shite ikimasen ka? | Could we go the long way around? |
| せんぱい！ | senpai! | Senpai! |
| もっと話したいです | motto hanashitai desu | I'd like to talk to you more. |
| せんぱい！ | senpai! | Senpai! |
| もっと近くいっていいですか？ | motto chikaku itte ii desu ka? | Is it okay if I get closer to you? |
| だってこんなに知りたいよ | datte konna ni shiritai yo | Because I want to know you this badly, |
| だけどあと10センチまだ届かない | dakedo ato juusenchi mada todokanai | But 10 centimeters left and it still won't reach you, |
| せんぱい | senpai | Senpai... |
| 他人に規定されない気持ちも空想も | tanin ni kitei sarenai kimochi mo kuusou mo | I try jotting down these feelings and fantasies |
| ノートに書き殴って何度も読み返してみる | nooto ni kakinagutte nando mo yomikaeshite miru | Which can't be controlled by others in a notebook, then rereading them, |
| 高尚な哲学も達観した価値観も | koushou na tetsugaku mo takkan shita kachikan mo | Though lofty philosophy and a farsighted sense of values |
| 持ち合わせていないけど | mochiawasete inai kedo | Aren't things I have on hand. |
| せんぱい！ | senpai! | Senpai! |
| 傘持ってないですか？ | kasa mottenai desu ka? | Don't you have an umbrella? |
| せんぱい！ | senpai! | Senpai! |
| 一緒に入っていきますか？ | issho ni haitte ikimasu ka? | Will we fit under mine together? |
| せんぱい！せんぱい！ | senpai! senpai! | Senpai! Senpai! |
| なんか顔赤くないですか？ | nanka kao akakunai desu ka? | Isn't your face all red for some reason? |
| せんぱい！ | senpai! | Senpai! |
| 雨なかなかやみませんね | ame nakanaka yamimasen ne | The rain doesn't seem likely to let up, does it? |
| せんぱい！ | senpai! | Senpai! |
| 屋根あるとこいきませんか？ | yane aru toko ikimasen ka? | Could we go somewhere with a roof? |
| なんてちょっとあからさますぎたかな | nante chotto akarasamasugita kana | What a bit of candidness that was, I think, |
| だけどあと3センチまだ届かない | dakedo ato sansenchi mada todokanai | But 3 centimeters left and it still won't reach you, |
| せんぱい | senpai | Senpai... |
| 髪も爪も自分のため | kami mo tsume mo jibun no tame | I do my hair and nails like this for me, |
| この気持ちも全部自分のため | kono kimochi mo zenbu jibun no tame | And these feelings and all that are for me. |
| それ以上でも以下でもなく | sore ijou demo ika demo naku | It's nothing more or less than that. |
| もっと笑う顔見たくて | motto warau kao mitakute | I want to see you smile more, |
| もっと笑う声聞きたくて | motto warau koe kikitakute | And I want to hear you laugh more, |
| 今日もあなたを待ってる | kyou mo anata o matteru | So I'm waiting for you today too. |
| せんぱい！ | senpai! | Senpai! |

| せんぱい！せんぱい！ | senpai! senpai! | Senpai! Senpai! |
| あーしの顔何か付いてますか？ | aashi no kao nanika tsuitemasu ka? | Have I got something on my face? |
| せんぱい！ | senpai! | Senpai! |
| ちょっとドキドキしますね | chotto dokidoki shimasu ne | My heart's pounding a little, huh? |
| せんぱい！ | senpai! | Senpai! |
| なんか付き合ってるみたいですね | nanka tsukiatteru mitai desu ne | It's like we're going out somehow, huh? |
| なんて笑って話すけど | nante waratte hanasu kedo | I say that with a smile, |
| 本当は泣きそうで | hontou wa nakisou de | But I really feel like crying, |
| 苦しくて痛くて | kurushikute itakute | 'Cause it's so stressful, so painful, |
| 宙に浮かんじゃいそうで | chuu ni ukanjaisou de | Like I'm gonna take off into outer space, |
| だけどあと1ミリメートル | dakedo ato ichimirimeetoru | But 1 millimeter left, |
| まだ届かない | mada todokanai | And it still won't reach you! |
| 「せーんぱい」 | "seenpai" | "Seeenpai!" |
