English Lyrics
Ken Hirai "I Can't Contain Myself"
Lyrics & Composition: Ken Hirai 
 
Although I normally collapse into bed
I’m worried about the words on my mind and cannot sleep

You also don’t know, right? Look, sometimes
Your earlobes look like they’re laughing at me and I’m troubled

Someone called out your name loud enough for you to hear
I feel like I can get closer to you with the way I call out to you

I still don’t understand this fluttering feeling, but
Hey, sometimes I’m troubled when other people surpass me

“Always be with me” “Stay here just a bit longer”
I’m searching, searching, and searching for how to tell you I want you here

Why do I hum the love song we're not paying attention to
Every time you blink and every time you sneeze?

No matter what happens, every time you say, “see you later,” and
Every time you say, “sorry” for some reason I feel like I’m going to cry

The more we see each other, the more it feels like it’s not enough
I’m not myself anymore

It’s like we saw something we couldn’t always see
These feelings are what they call bittersweet aren’t they?

Cruelly hurt by nonchalant words and
Unable to laugh, I would stare at my shoelaces

“Always be with me” “Stay here just a bit longer”
I’m searching, searching, and searching for the answer of why I want you here

Every time you laugh, every time you whisper into his ear,
I still think how nice it would be if that were me

No matter what happens, every time you say, “see you later”  and
Every time you say, “sorry” for some reason I feel like I’m going to cry

Why do I hum the love song were not paying attention to
Every time you blink and every time you sneeze?

No one has taught me the reason why and no one knows the truth, but
I cannot contain myself. Please let me just have this moment

The more we see each other the more it feels like it’s not enough
The more we see each other the more I don’t understand
I’m not myself anymore

Lyrics & Composition: Ken Hirai  
Itsumo wa suton to nemuri ni ochiru no ni
Shinzou no kotoba ga ki ni natte nemurenai

Kimi mo shiranai ne kimi no mimitabu ga
Tokidoki hora boku ni waraikakete komarimasu

Dareka ga kimi no na wo tekitou ni yondeta
Boku ga yonda hou ga kimi ni chikai ki ga suru yo

Boku mo mada shiranai kono yureru kimochi ga
Tokidoki hora boku wo oikoshite komarimasu

Itsumo motto koko ni ato mou chotto koko ni
Ite hoshikute kotoba wo sagasu sagasu sagasu

Kimi ga mabataki suru tabi ni kimi ga kushami wo suru tabi ni
Tada kikinagashiteta koi no uta nande ka kuchizusamu

Kimi ga “mata ne” to iu tabi ni kimi ga “gomen” to iu tabi ni
Datte itemo tattemo irarezu ni nande ka nakisou ni naru

Aeba au hodo tarinakunatte yuku
Mou kore wa boku janai

Itsumo wa mienai mono ga mieta mitai
Kanashikute ureshii tte kou iu kimochi nan da ne

Nanige nai kotoba de kichinto kizutsuite
Umaku waraenakute kutsuhimo wo nagameteta

Itsumo motto koko ni ato mou chotto koko ni
Ite hoshikute kotae wo sagasu sagasu sagasu

Kimi ga waraikakeru tabi ni kimi ga mimiuchi suru tabi ni
Tada sono aite ga boku dattara donna ni raku darou

Kimi ga “mata ne” to iu tabi ni kimi ga “gomen” to iu tabi ni
Datte itemo tattemo irarezu ni nande ka nakisou ni naru

Kimi ga mabataki suru tabi ni kimi ga kushami wo suru tabi ni
Tada kikinagashiteta koi no uta nande ka kuchizusamu

Daremo oshiete kurenai shi hontou wa daremo shiranai shi
Datte itemo tattemo irarenai ima dake kudasai

Aeba au hodo tarinakunatte yuku
Aeba au hodo wakaranakunatte yuku
Mou kore wa boku janai

歌詞
平井堅「いてもたっても」
作詞/作曲: 平井堅
 
いつもはストンと眠りに落ちるのに
心臓のコトバが気になって眠れない

君も知らないね君の耳たぶが
時々ほら僕に笑いかけて困ります

誰かが君の名を適当に呼んでた
僕が呼んだ方が君に近い気がするよ

僕もまだ知らないこの揺れる気持ちが
時々ほら僕を追い越して困ります

いつももっとここに あともうちょっとここに
いて欲しくてコトバを 探す 探す 探す

君が瞬きするたびに 君がくしゃみをするたびに
ただ聞き流してた恋の歌 なんでか口ずさむ

君が「またね」と言うたびに 君が「ごめん」と言うたびに
だっていてもたってもいられずに なんでか泣きそうになる

会えば会うほど足りなくなっていく
もうこれは僕じゃない
いつもは見えないものが見えたみたい
悲しくて嬉しいってこう言う気持ちなんだね

何気ない言葉できちんと傷ついて
上手く笑えなくて靴ひもを眺めてた

いつももっとここに あともうちょっとここに
いて欲しくてコタエを 探す 探す 探す

君が笑いかけるたびに君が耳打ちするたびに
ただその相手が僕だったらどんなに楽だろう

君が「またね」と言うたびに 君が「ごめん」と言うたびに
だっていてもたってもいられずに なんでか泣きそうになる

君が瞬きするたびに 君がくしゃみをするたびに
ただ聞き流してた恋の歌 なんでか口ずさむ

誰も教えてくれないし 本当は誰も知らないし
だっていてもたってもいられない 今だけ下さい

会えば会うほど足りなくなっていく
会えば会うほどわからなくなっていく
もうこれは僕じゃない
