Released: March 5, 2014

[Verse 1]
退屈な雨上がりの午後
髪の毛の濡れた君が駆け込んできた
太陽をポケットに忍ばせて
途端に灼熱の恋をした, oh

[Verse 2]
それから君が買い物する度
レジを打つ手の震えが止まらない
舌が固まり話せないけれど
心はこう叫んでる　叫んでる

[Chorus]
君の帰る場所はここにある　君を愛す人はここにいる
Woah, woah, 目の前に
君が微笑むと胸の奥に眠った蕾が開く
Woah, woah, 君に出会い夢の始まり
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

[Verse 3]
季節が変わり引っ越したけど
夢の中の二人は立ち止まったまま
今日はあの日のような雨上がりだ
少し遠回りして帰ろう, oh

[Verse 4]
自転車に水をはねかけられ
「すみません」と振り返る懐かしい君
戸惑いながらなぜか笑い出した
こんな事もあるんだあるんだ

[Chorus]
「出会いは偶然かもしれない　でも再会は運命なんだ」
Woah, woah, 君は言う
会話が途切れないのはきっと何かを意味するサイン
Woah, woah, 夢の終わり愛の始まり

[Bridge]
Woah
出会う前からこの筋書きがあっただなんて, oh-oh
Unbelievable

[Pre-Chorus]
君の帰る場所はここにある　君を愛す人はここにいる
Woah, woah, いつまでも

[Chorus]
恋は速く強いけど　愛はゆっくり長く育てよう
Woah, woah, 時間をかけ
神様のイタズラから二人の物語が生まれた
Woah, woah, 夢の終わり愛の始まり
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
夢の終わり愛の始まり
夢の終わり愛の始まり
