Yeah, Come close to me... Come close to me, baby (1)

Yoso muitenaide hora kocchi muite
namida no atotsuku mejiri hora fuite
hiji o tsuite utsumuitenaide kizuite
mou ichido dake furimuite
    Don't turn away, hey, turn this way
    The tracks of tears, hey, brush them from the corner of your eyes
    Don't rest on your elbows looking down, notice me
    Just once more turn to me

Ima wa Can't let go
amai amai merodi ga
mada Can't let go
omoi omoi no iro de
yappa Can't let go
Oh...
hanasanai de
    Now I Can't let go
    This sweet sweet melody
    I still Can't let go
    With the colour, the colour of my feelings
    I just Can't let go
    Oh...
    Don't let go

Tameiki hitotsu tsuita kara
kata ga sukoshi karukunatta
"furimukanai yo" to tsuyogatta
jibun sae itooshii
    Once I let out one sigh
    My shoulders felt a little lighter
    Even the part of myself that acted strong and
    said "don't turn around' is precious

Mou sukoshi ato sukoshi
kirei ni kimi o wasurete
atarashii boku ni umarekawareru hazu na no ni
    Just a little, just a little bit more
    If I can cleanly forget you
    I could surely be reborn into a new me

Dakedo Can't let go
amai amai merodi ga
mada Can't let go
omoi omoi no iro de
yappa Can't let go
Oh...
hanasanai de
    But I Can't let go
    This sweet sweet melody
    I still Can't let go
    With the colour, the colour of my feelings
    I just Can't let go
    Oh...
    Don't let go

Hitoribotchi no machi no kaze
hon no chotto tomadou kedo
minareta hazu no keshiki sae
nantonaku yasashii
    All alone in the town's wind
    I hesitate just a bit but
    Even the sights I'm used to seeing
    Seem gentle in a way

Mou sukoshi ato sukoshi
kimi to kiita ano uta o
ima wa mada mune no naka dakishimeteitai no sa
    Just a little, just a little bit more
    That song I listened to with you
    Right now I still want to hold it within my heart

Mou sukoshi kou shiteitai n da tada...
    I only just want to be like this a little more...

Kono shunkan wa dorehodo tsuzuku no ka na
kimi no atama ga (furueteta kata ga...)
kizuku to boso tto anata ga "asa ka na"
    I wonder how long this moment will go on for
    Your head (Your quivering shoulders...)
    Before I realized you whispered softly "I wonder if it's morning"

Tsuki toki o kizami (2)
koboreru hikari
subete kikitai nao shiritai
    The moon counts the hours
    The light spilling over
    I want to hear it all, I want to know even more

Tsutsumikomu you ni te o sotto sotto
genzai wa motto motto motto zutto gyutto motto
    Like I'm enveloping you my hands will softly, softly
    Now, more, more, more, always, tightly, more

Hanasazu ni tada kou shiteitai
kono hitokoto dake ga kimi ni ienai
    Without letting go, I just want to be like this
    This one thing is what I can't say to you

I JUST WANNA SAY... (WHAT?)

can't let...

"I can't let you go"

Ima wa mada mune no naka dakishimeteitai no sa
    Right now I still want to hold it within my heart

Dakara Can't let go
mekurumeku rizumu ga
mada Can't let go
owari no nai hibiki de
yappa Can't let go
Oh...
hanasanai de
    That's why I Can't let go
    The dazzling rhythm
    I still Can't let go
    With an unending echo
    I just Can't let go
    Oh...
    Don't let go

Notes;
1) This line isn't in the printed lyrics
2) Literally this line means to 'carve time' but it has the same nuance as the English phrase 'count the hours' - basically it means that time is passing.
