　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

　narande tondeku tsugai no tori
  te wo tsunaideru oyako no nobita kage
  yuuhi ga terashita kirei na mono
  sonna futsuu ga mabushikatta

  BLUE no BENCH ga hin'yari shite
  boku dake no kemono ni kanjita

  futsuu ga yokute sou aritakute
  "Dou sureba nareru ka na?" hitori kangaeta
  sabishii nante iu hazu nakute
  datte hora ieru hito, kimi wa soba ni inai kara

  mizube mo namiki mo boku sae mo
  ORANGE iro ni someru hikari no you ni
  kimi dake yasashiku shite kureta
  sora ga waratteta ano hi no koto

  kidzukeba nobiteta boku no kage ga
  nanda ka iro koku kanjita

  kokoro ni aita ana wo umete to
  negau tabi kao wo dasu kimi no hakuchuumu
  nukumori sae mo shirazu ni ireba
  konna ni mo setsunasa wo kanjizu ni irareta no?

  dakedo boku wa kimi to aete
  yappari yokatta n darou
  hanareteite mo sunagatteiru to
  shinjireba aruite ikeru

  futsuu ga yokute sou aritakute
  nareru you ni kyou mo mata kizudzuite mo sagasu
  sabishii nante iu hazu nakute
  datte hora ieru hito, kimi wa soba ni inai kara

  moshi mo mata aeta nara
  zutto soba ni itai karaa

A pair of birds, flying away alongside each other
Hands connected, parent and child's extended shadow
The sunset's glimmer is such a beautiful thing
Such 'normal' things are brilliant

The blue bench feels cool
Only me, a beast, felt it

Normal is good, and I want to be one
"What should I do? Is it possible?", then I thought of one person
I feel lonely, yet I can't say it
'Cause that person for me to talk to, you are not by my side

But the fact that I met you
is surely a good thing
When we're apart, when we're connected
If we believe, we can walk forward

Normal is good, and I'm want it
If it's possible, today again, even if it hurts me I'll look for it
I'm lonely, yet I can't say it
'Cause that person for me to talk to, you are not by my side

If we're to meet again
I want to stay by your side forever

Translation Notes

1. "The blue bench feels cool" 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.

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.
