※ありがとう、と君に言われると
なんだかせつない
さようならの後も解けぬ魔法
淡くほろ苦い
The flavor of life※

友達でも恋人でもない中間地点で
収穫の日を夢見てる
青いフルーツ

あと一歩が踏み出せないせいで
じれったいのなんのってbaby

(※くり返し)

甘いだけの誘い文句
味っけの無いトーク
そんなものには興味をそそられない

思い通りにいかない時だって
人生捨てたもんじゃないって

どうしたの?と急に聞かれると
ううん、なんでもない
さようならの後に消える笑顔
私らしくない

信じたいと願えば願うほど
なんだかせつない
「愛してるよ」よりも
「大好き」の方が
君らしいんじゃない?
The flavor of life

忘れかけていた人の香りを
突然思い出す頃
降りつもる雪の白さをもっと
素直に喜びたいよ

ダイアモンドよりもやわらかくて
あたたかな未来
手にしたいよ
限りある時間を
君と過ごしたい

(※くり返し)

<lyrics>
※When you say thank you to me,
for some reason, it hurts;
like a magic spell that doesn't
get undone, even after the goodbye.
A hint of bitterness.
The flavor of life.
The flavor of life.

Stuck midpoint between friends and lovers,
like an unripe fruit dreaming about the day of harvest.
Being unable to just move one more step forward
is what's causing this frustration, baby.

※Repeat

Sweet talk and tasteless conversations,
it sparks no interest in me.


Even when things do not go the way you want,
it doesn't mean you've thrown your life away.

When asked, "What's wrong?"
I answer, "It's nothing."
The smile that disappears after goodbye,
it's unlike me.

The more I wish to believe in you,
for some reason, it hurts even more.
"I like you a lot," instead of "I love you,"
sounds more like you.
The flavor of life.


The period when you suddenly remember the scent of someone you had almost forgotten.
I want to be able to openly and honestly cherish the white purity of the falling snow more.

A future, tender and warmer than a diamond,
I want to grasp it.
In this limited time we have,
I want to spend it with you.


※Repeat
