Lyrics
| Japanese (日本語歌詞) | Romaji (ローマ字) |
|---|---|
| 認めても認めちゃっても | mitomete mo mitomechatte mo |
| 君のことは諦められない | kimi no koto wa akiramerarenai |
| 今も好きです | ima mo suki desu |
| 頼りなくって目立たなくって逃げてばかりの | tayorinakutte medatanakutte nigete bakari no |
| 先輩なんてどこがいいんだよ | senpai nante doko ga ii nda yo |
| 学年なんて関係なくて強がったけど | gakunen nante kankei nakute tsuyogatta kedo |
| 出会いなんて見たくなかった | deai nante mitaku nakatta |
| それからはいつも気づいてる | sorekara wa itsumo kizuiteru |
| 目が合うと二人笑顔に変わる | me ga au to futari egao ni kawaru |
| 困るんだその優しさは | komaru nda sono yasashisa wa |
| いつか好きになる気づいた | itsuka suki ni naru kizuita |
| あと何回？ねえ目が合えば・・・ | ato nan-kai? nee me ga aeba... |
| カウントダウン止まって | kauntodaun tomatte |
| 認めても認めちゃっても | mitomete mo mitomechatte mo |
| 君のことは諦められない | kimi no koto wa akiramerarenai |
| 今も好きです | ima mo suki desu |
| 近くになって少しぐらいは認めるけれど | chikaku ni natte sukoshi gurai wa mitomeru keredoo |
| 譲るなんてそんな気無くて | yuzuru nante son'na ki nakute |
| 前からずっと想ってるって一番だって | mae kara zutto omotteru tte ichiban datte |
| 二人きりは見たくないんだ | futarikiri wa mitakunai nda |
| いつからか君は曖昧で | itsukara ka kimi wa aimai de |
| 目が合えば先に逸らしてるよね | me ga aeba saki ni sorashiteru yo ne |
| 困るんだその恋の表情（かお） | komaru nda sono koi no hyoujou (kao) |
| 昨日より“好き”の気持ちが | kinou yori “suki” no kimochi ga |
| あと一歩？ねえ近づくよ | ato ippo? nee chikazuku yo |
| カウントダウン進んで | kauntodaun susunde |
| 伝えたら伝えちゃったら | tsutaetara tsutaechattara |
| 多分距離ができちゃうかもね | tabun kyori ga dekichau kamo ne |
| ずっと想うよ | zutto omou yo |
| 状況は今も最悪で | joukyou wa ima mo saiaku de |
| 書き上げた台本（セリフ）言えずに終わる | kakiageta daihon (serifu) iezu ni owaru |
| 弱いんだ・・・見つめられると | yowai nda... mitsumerareru to |
| 口にした好きの言葉も | kuchi ni shita suki no kotoba mo |
| あと一歩？ねえ近づけば | ato ippo? nee chikazukeba |
| 届いたのかな ずっと | todoita no kana zutto |
| 変わらずに隣にいるよ | kawarazu ni tonari ni iru yo |
| 全部全部わかってるから | zenbu zenbu wakatterukara |
| ねえまた一緒に帰ろう | nee mata issho ni kaerou |
Trivia
- This is one of the few named "-another story-" perspective songs with a different name, the other being Kinyoubi no Ohayou -love story- and Watashi ga Koi wo Shiru Hi. Like the latter song, it's also one of the few perspective shifting songs that's slower in tempo than the song it's based off of, and uses different instruments.
- Although ultimately belonging to the first singer's true love interest like the others, this song is the only "-another story-" that does not come from either of the original song's focus characters.
- The Vocaloid version of this song was inducted into Niconico's Vocaloid Hall of Fame.
