You read books
You read books I won't read
You read books
I listen to your impressions
And try my best to read
The books that you read
Little by little, I read
The books that you read

I'm really bad at printed text - I read the same place
Over and over and over again endlessly
But I want to shed the same amount of tears
That you shed at that one scene

A world that I didn't know appears before my eyes
Is this the author's fiction?
It's a really fleeting love story
The scenery I always overlooked
Spreads all over my mind
The author wrote: "Create the sequel on your own"

You read books
I read your profile
Do your books
Never have a happy ending?

I'm really bad at kanji - words I've never seen before
Feel like they're making me dizzy
But next time it'd be great if I could teach you
Words that you don't know, wouldn't it?

A world that I didn't know appears before my eyes
Smart lines color the stories
The scenery I always overlooked
Spreads all over my mind
There's no end for this book
I'll create the sequel on my own

I get dead tired
And my bookmark's role ends
In the ending's blank space
I'll put a happy ending for me

A world that I didn't know appears before my eyes
The author's fiction
Changes into nonfiction
The scenery I've seen up to now with you
Spreads all over my mind
I wrote: "I'll create this sequel with you"

Kimi wa hon wo yomu
Watashi ga yomanai hon wo yomu
Kimi wa hon wo yomu
Watashi wa sono kansou wo kiku
Kimi ga yonda hon wo
Ganbatte watashi mo yomu
Kimi ga yonda hon wo
Sukoshizutsu watashi mo yomu

Katsuji wa nigate onaji tokoro wo nankai mo
Kurikaeshi kurikaeshi KIRI ga nai
Dakedo kimi ga namida wo nagashita SHIIN de
Onaji kazu dake namida wo nagashite mitai

Shiranakatta sekai ga me no mae ni arawareru
Sakusha no FIKUSHON ka?
Totemo awai koi no hanashi da
Itsumo minogashite kita you na keshiki ga
Atama wo shikitsumete iku
Sakusha wa kaita kono tsudzuki wa jibun de tsukuri nasai to

Kimi wa hon wo yomu
Watashi wa sono yokogao wo yomu
Itsumo sono hon wa
HAPPII ENDO ja nai no

Kanji mo nigate mita koto mo nai tango ga
Guruguruguru me ga mawarisou da
Dakedo kimi ga wakaranai kotoba wo kondo wa
Watashi ga oshiete ageraretara ii yo ne

Shiranakatta sekai ga me no mae ni arawareru
Ki no kiita serifu ga monogatari wo irodoru
Itsumo minogashite kita you na keshiki ga
Atama wo shikitsumete iku
Kono hon ni owari wa nai
Tsudzuki wa jibun de tsukuridasu no da

Kutakuta ni natta
Shiori no yakume wa owari
Saigo no yohaku ni
Watashinari no HAPPII ENDO wo

Shiranakatta sekai ga me no mae ni arawareru
Sakusha no FIKUSON ga
NONFIKUSHON ni kawaru
Kimi to mite kita kore made no keshiki ga
Atama wo shikitsumete iku
Watashi wa kaita kono tsudzuki wa kimi to tsukuridasu no da
