Lyrics
目が合うたび I look away
期待するほど 怖くなって
「違ったらどうする？」
そんな worst case ばかり rehearsing
君の優しさは equal to all
特別扱いじゃないって知ってる
So I stay calm, act normal
本音は胸で turning loud
踏み込めば maybe lose control
今の距離が壊れそうで
“Just friends” その label に
自分を閉じ込め keep it safe
【Pre-Chorus】
One more step が遠すぎて
ずっと待ってる I love you
勇気だして Say it to you
何か変えたい 明日
【Chorus】
ねぇ、聞こえる？
I’m right here, by your side
言葉にできない想いが
ずっと 溢れそうで
ねぇ、聞こえる？
気づいて この気持ち
私の心はもう
あなたを選んでる
【Verse 2】
既読のタイミング 秒単位で
意味を探す midnight
笑った理由 その一言
全部が sign に見えて
But I tell myself “Don’t rush”
勘違いなら終わりだろ
優しさを免罪符に
今日も truth から run away
I know, I know, it’s stupid
黙ってちゃ zero percent
それでも口が動かない
臆病が steering my steps
【Pre-Chorus 】
Say it now or stay the same
答えは シンプルだよ
でも選べない tonight
また夜を越えていく
【Chorus2】
ねぇ、聞こえる？
Your silence hurts sometimes
だから先が怖いんだ
迷ってしまう I'm a coward
ねぇ、聞こえる？
I’m not asking for perfection
たったヒトコトでいい
「好き」って聞けたら
【Bridge】
What if I’m wrong? What if I’m right?
その狭間で standing still
失う fear が背中を掴んで
声を飲み込む every time
But if you don’t say anything
この想いは where to go?
君がとなりにいる その未来に
you might be late
【Chorus3】
ねぇ、聞こえる？
We're closer than you think
同じ夜に迷いながら
同じ明日を見てる
ねぇ、聞こえる？
勇気は小さくていいんだよ
俺が踏み出したその瞬間
全てが変わるなら…
[Outro]
ねぇ、聞こえる？
I’ve been holding this love so long
Afraid that I’d be wrong
ねぇ、聞こえる？
But here I am, finally true
Every feeling leads to you
---English Lyrics---
【Verse 1】
Every time our eyes collide, I look away
The more I hope, the more I’m scared to stay
“What if I’m wrong?”
I keep rehearsing every worst-case song
Your kindness feels the same to everyone
I tell myself I’m not the chosen one
So I stay calm, I act normal
But my heart is getting louder than I want it all
If I step in, I might lose control
This fragile distance might collapse and fall
I hide myself in “just friends”
Locking every feeling, keeping safe again
【Pre-Chorus】
One more step feels way too far
I know you’ve been waiting, “I love you” in your heart
I wanna say it, say it to you
I just wanna change tomorrow too
【Chorus】
Hey, can you hear me?
I’m right here, by your side
All these words I cannot speak
They’re about to overflow tonight
Hey, can you hear me?
Can’t you see what I feel inside?
My heart has already
Chosen you without a fight
【Verse 2】
Counting seconds after you read my text
Searching meanings that don’t exist
The way you smiled, the words you said
Every little thing looks like a sign instead
But I tell myself, “Don’t rush”
If I’m mistaken, it’s over, that’s too much
I call it kindness, my alibi
Running from the truth every single night
I know, I know, it’s stupid
Silence gives me zero percent
Still my voice won’t move at all
My fear keeps steering every step
【Pre-Chorus】
Say it now or stay the same
The answer’s simple, but I hesitate
I can’t decide tonight
So I just let another night go by
【Chorus 2】
Hey, can you hear me?
Your silence sometimes hurts
That’s why I’m scared of what’s ahead
Lost again in my own words
Hey, can you hear me?
I’m not asking you to be perfect
Just one single word is all
If I could hear you say you love me
【Bridge】
What if I’m wrong? What if I’m right?
Standing still between the lines
The fear of losing grabs my back
Swallows every word I try to let out
But if you don’t say anything
Where does all this feeling go?
If a future has me by your side
I might arrive too late, I know
【Chorus 3】
Hey, can you hear me?
We’re closer than you think
Getting lost in the same dark night
Looking at the same tomorrow’s dream
Hey, can you hear me?
Courage doesn’t have to be strong
The moment I finally step ahead
Everything might change at once…
【Outro】
Hey, can you hear me?
I’ve been holding this love so long
Afraid that I’d be wrong
Hey, can you hear me?
But here I am, finally true
Every single feeling leads to you
