地下鉄のホーム
偶然同じ電車
本屋さんでの
待ち合わせしてた
僕の方を向いて
笑いながら言った
君の歯が抜けた
突然な事だ
Did it hurt when you lost it
Does it hurt after it is gone
I hope the tooth fairy will
Give you something to make it up, yes
Can you tell me one secret
Promise to keep it
約束
The old me would have told her
Wish I never got older
I turn into a little child
Then make a face to make you smile
Come closer you can see it
Or at least where it used to be
Swear to you by my two front teeth
I’d tell you but you won’t believe
Do you think that I’m reckless
Do you think I was selfish
I did it to protect us
A promise is a promise, yes
Can you tell me one secret
Promise to keep it
Say that you mean it
Say that you mean it
約束して
こんな大きな街
こんな小さな僕
ありさんのように
仲間を探す
お砂糖を運んで
パンのクズも持って
君にあげようと
思っていたけれど
You told me you don’t want it
You told me that it was too sweet
If you really don’t want it
Does that mean that it’s mine to keep, yes
Can you tell me one secret
Just one secret
Promise to keep it
Say that you mean it
Say that you mean it
Promise to keep it
Say that you mean it
約束して
