Official English Lyrics[edit]
Source: Obey Me! The Album
The days go by
I want to tell you before I forget
"I love you" are words
I've seen a lot in books
I can't find a way to say this well
But until I met you
I didn't know what it felt like to have my heart stolen
And even then I pretended not to know
You've made me see and feel things
I never thought I would
The world I discovered when I met you
Like restless waves
I may sound greedy, but I want it all
I pray to the days that go by
I want to count them together with you so that they won't disappear
"I want to be by your side" are words
I've read a lot in books
Just telling you is not enough
But until I met you
I didn't know what it felt like to have my heart stolen
And even then I pretended not to know
You've made me see and feel things
I never thought I would
The world I discovered when I met you
Like restless waves
I may sound greedy, but I want to see it all
You gently untied
My entangled, frozen legs
I want to do the same for you
By taking you in my embrace, as you are
So don't go running off all of a sudden
Like some stray cat
You've made me see and feel things,
I never thought I would
I want to protect you
As you color this world
This is my song to you, my beloved

Translated by: Maon_ObeyMe on twitter
Gently touching the days passing by
I want to tell you not to forget me
Words like "I love you"
I have been seeing a lot in books, but...
I am so poor at saying it out loud
I didn't know that until I met you
Even my true heart that is stolen by you before I notice...
...is covered up by how poor I speak
I thought there's no more...
...scenery or feelings that I don't know
The world I see after meeting you
Will someday fade away like the tides rolling
It is my greed, but I want it all
I'm praying to the days passing by
Wishing they never disappear, because I want to count the days with you
Words like "Stay by my side"
I have been reading a lot in books, but...
It isn't enough to express by just telling you these words
I didn't know that until I met you
Even my true heart that is stolen by you before I notice...
...is covered up by how scarce the words sound
I thought there's no more...
...scenery or feelings that I don't know
The world that changed after I met you
Will someday fade away like the tides rolling
It is my greed, but I want to see all of it
My entangled, frozen legs...
...are gently untied by you
Just as how you have been so gentle to me
I want to embrace you just the same way
So please, don't be like the cats...
...and disappear on me suddenly
I thought there's no more...
...scenery or feelings that I don't know
The world that's dyed in your color
I want to protect every last bit of it
This is a song for my beloved you
Romanized Lyrics[edit]
Sugiteku hibi ni furete
Wasurenai yō ni kimi ni oshietai
"Aishiteru" nante kotoba
Hon de wa takusan fureta no ni
Konna ni umaku ienai nante
Kimi ni deau made shiranakatta
Itsu no ma ni ka ubawareteta
Sono kokorogoto neko kabutteta
Hitotsu mo nai tsumori datta
Shiranai keshiki mo kanjō mo
Kimi ni deai mieta sekai
Yosete wa kaesu nami no yō
Yokubari da kedo zenbu hoshī
Sugiteku hibi ni inoru
Kienai yō ni kimi to kazoetai
"Soba ni itai" nante serifu
Hon de wa takusan yonda no ni
Tsutaeru dake ja tarinai nante
Kimi ni deau made shiranakatta
Itsu no ma ni ka ubawareteta
Sono kokoro sura neko kabutteta
Hitotsu mo nai tsumori datta
Shiranai keshiki mo kanjō mo
Kimi to deai kawaru sekai
Yosete wa kaesu nami no yō
Yokubari dakedo zenbu mitai
Karamatte motsurete suku mu ashi mo
Yasashiku hodoite kureta ne
Kimi ga sō shite kureta mitai ni
Ari no mama o daki shimetai
Dakara neko mitai ni totsuzen
Inakunattari shinai de
Hitotsu mo nai tsumori datta
Shiranai keshiki mo kanjō mo
Kimi no iro ni somaru sekai
Hitotsu nokorazu mamoritai
Itoshī kimi e okuru uta
Kanji Lyrics[edit]
過ぎてく日々に触れて
忘れなように君に教えたい
「愛してる」なんて言葉
本ではたくさん触れたのに
こんなに上手く言えないなんて
君に出会うもで知らなかった
いつのまにか奪われてた
その心ごと猫被ってた
ひとつもないつもりだった
知らない景色も感情も
君に出会い見えた世界
寄せては返す波のよう
欲張りだけど全部欲しい
過ぎてく日々に祈る
消えないように君と数えたい
「傍にいたい」なんてセリフ
本ではたくさん読んだのに
伝えるだけじゃ足りないなんて
君に出会うもで知らなかった
いつのまにか奪われてた
その心すら猫被ってた
ひとつもないつもりだった
知らない景色も感情も
君と出会い変わる世界
寄せては返す波のよう
欲張りだけど全部見たい
絡まってもつれて竦（すく）む足も
優しくほどいてくれなね
君がそうしてくれたみたいに
ありのままを抱き締めたい
だから猫みたいに突然
いなくなったりしないで
ひとつもないつもりだった
知らない景色も感情も
君の色に染まる世界
ひとつ残らず守りたい
愛しい君へ贈る歌
