Lyrics
Kanji= ならんで　飛んでく　つがいの鳥 手を繋いでる　親子の伸びた影 夕日が照らした　綺麗なもの そんな普通が眩しかった

ブルーのベンチがひんやりして 僕だけのけ者に感じた 普通がよくて　そう有りたくて 「どうすればなれるかな？」　一人考えた 寂しいなんて　言うはずなくて だってほら 言える人、 君は側にいないから

水辺も 並木も 僕さえも オレンジ色に　染める光のように 君だけ 優しくしてくれた 空が笑ってた あの日のこと

気づけば伸びてた 僕の影が なんだか色濃く感じた

心に開いた　穴を埋めてと 願うたび　顔を出す　君の白昼夢 ぬくもりさえも　知らずにいれば こんなにも　切なさを　感じずにいられたの だけど僕は君と会えて やっぱり良かったんだろう 離れていても　繋がっていると 信じれば　歩いていける

普通がよくて　そう有りたくて なれるように今日もまた　傷ついても探す 寂しいなんて 言うはずなくて だってほら 言える人、 君は側にいないから

もしもまた会えたなら ずっと側にいたいから Rōmaji= Narande tondeku tsugai no tori Te wo tsunaideru oyako no nobita kage Yuuhi ga terashita kirei na mono Sonna futsuu ga mabushikatta

Moshi mo mata aeta nara Zutto soba ni itai karaa English Translation= A pair of birds flying away alongside each other. An extended shadow of parent and child holding hands. The beautiful things that are shined upon by the sunset light. Those ordinary things were bright to me.

The blue bench feels cold. Only me, a beast, felt it.

Normal is good, and I want to be one. "What should I do? Is it possible?", I thought about it all alone. I feel lonely, yet I can't say it. Because I only can say it to you, but you are not by my side.

The watersides, the row of trees, even me are like being dyed orange by the sunset light. You were the only one who was being kind to me. That day, the sky smiled.

When I noticed it, my shadow has grown. Somehow, it felt so dark.

"I want to fill this empty hole in my heart." Every time I wish for it, I daydream about you and your face shows up. If I don't even know what is 'warmth', then I shouldn't be able to feel this much pain.

But the fact that I met you is surely a good thing. Even if we're apart, if we believe that we're connected, we can keep on walking.

Normal is good, and I want to be one. Even if it hurts me, today I'll keep looking for ways to be one. I'm lonely, yet I can't say it. Because I only can say it to you, but you are not by my side.

If we meet again, I want to stay by your side forever.

Translation Notes
1. "The blue bench feels cold" means that the bench is left out (i.e; no one is using the bench), which then the singer continue by saying "only me, a beast, felt", meaning it's a feeling that she knows very well as a beast/someone different and being left out.

2. Kemono (kanji: 獣) means beast, but in the kanji lyrics it's written as 'け者' which is a mix of the word 'ke' and 'mono' ('者' or 'mono' refers to 'person'), hinting that the singer is not normal person, yet not exactly a beast.

Animation
As the song plays, pages from Zero Two's treasured picture book, The Beast and the Prince is shown.
