My heart, pounding deafeningly in my chest
My legs, now frozen in a way they never are
My tears, silently trickling down my cheek
They tell me… that this is my first love

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you

It goes without saying that no matter what
All people fall in love
That’s what I always thought… and yet

If I had never met you
I don’t think that anyone else would have led me
To one day have these feelings

My heart, pounding deafeningly in my chest
My legs, now racing of their own accord
My tears, silently trickling down my cheek
They tell me… that this is my first love

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you

I used to see things I could do nothing about
Take them at face value
And pretend to accept them
Always

If I had never met you
I think that I’d probably still be living my life
Without knowing why I had been born

I want to offer up my fragile self
Weak enough to be hurt by a single word
A season that will never come again
Tried to draw things to an end
Ever so clumsily

Everything I long for
I can see it, somewhere my hands can reach
There’s no way I’d not chase after it
Is that right to do? Nobody knows the answer
Truly, no one does

The treetops sway, blown by the wind
And stretch towards where the sun shines
As we were overjoyed by the tiniest things
We were hurt by the tiniest things as well

My heart, beating maddeningly fast
The rain, now gently striking my shoulder
My tears, overflowing though I fight them back
They tell me… that this is my first love

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you

My heart beating too loud, my legs frozen, so unlike me,
The tear running quietly down my cheek;
They tell me
That this is my first love

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you

I thought it was a given
That human beings
Naturally fall in love, but

If I had never met you
I can’t fathom that anyone would have ever
Made me feel like this

My heart beating too loud, my legs running against my will,
The tear surely running down my cheek;
They tell me
That this is my first love

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you

All this time,
I was blaming things that can’t be helped
On others
And feigning acceptance

If I had never met you
I might have gone on living
Without even knowing why I was given life

This fragile me that one word can break,
I want to dedicate to you
A season that will never return
Was announcing its end
Awkwardly

I can see the thing that I want
Right there within reach
How can I possibly not chase it?
Whether it is the right thing to do or not
Nobody really knows

A young branch trembling in the wind
Slowly grows towards the sun
Little things brought us joy
Little things caused us pain

The maddening beating in my chest,
The rain that gently falls on my shoulders,
The tears I can’t hold back;
They tell me that this was my first love

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you

うるさいほどに高鳴る胸が
柄にもなく竦む足が今
静かに頬を伝う涙が
私に知らせる　これが初恋と

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you

人間なら誰しも
当たり前に恋をするものだと
ずっと思っていた　だけど

もしもあなたに出会わずにいたら
誰かにいつかこんな気持ちに
させられたとは思えない

うるさいほどに高鳴る胸が
勝手に走り出す足が今
確かに頬を伝う涙が
私に知らせる　これが初恋と

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you

どうしようもないことを
人のせいにしては
受け入れてるフリをしていたんだ
ずっと

もしもあなたに出会わずにいたら
私はただ生きていたかもしれない
生まれてきた意味も知らずに

言葉一つで傷つくような
ヤワな私を捧げたい今
二度と訪れない季節が
終わりを告げようとしていた
不器用に

欲しいものが
手の届くとこに見える
追わずにいられるわけがない
正しいのかなんて本当は
誰も知らない

風に吹かれ震える梢が
陽の射す方へと伸びていくわ
小さなことで喜び合えば
小さなことで傷つきもした

狂おしく高鳴る胸が
優しく肩を打つ雨が今
こらえても溢れる涙が
私に知らせる　これが初恋と

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
