Rōmaji (anime version)
Be my friend

Shiranai furi shitatte

Be my side

Zenbu kidzuiteta yo

Kimi no tonari ni ikou

Sono te ni datte todokisou sa

Souzou ijou da ne jetcoaster na mainichi

Hisshi de mae wo muite

Ima shika nai kara

Kono shunkan kizamitsukeyou

Be my friend

Shiranai furi shitatte

Be my friend

Miagete bakari datte

Be my side

Akogareteru ima mo

Mou ikkai

Nando demo te wo nobasou

Ano hoshi datte todokisou sa

English
Be my friend

Even if you pretend you don't know

Stand by me

I know you've already realized it

One more step

I'll try getting closer to you now

It feels like I could even reach your hand

Every day is a roller coaster, wilder than you can imagine

Trying so hard to look straight ahead

That's how I've been running all this time

It feels like something happens, but that's the end

That's how our lives go

This moment is all we have

So let's burn it into our memories

Be my friend

Even if you pretend you don't know

Stand by me

I know you've already realized it

One more step

I'll try getting closer to you now

So I can hold your hand

Be my friend

I'm always looking up at you

Stand by me

But even if I want to be more like that

One more time

I'll reach out as many times as I need to

It feels like I could even reach that star
