Lyrics
Daisuki yori ookina
Juuroku sai no AGAPE
Osowaru yori saki ni shitteta
Onna no ko no koi suru kono kimochi
Moshi kizutsuite ii no? tte kikaretemo
Tsutawaru nara tobikonde yukitai fuwatto ne
SHANPUU shitate no kami nichiyoubi
Eki he no michi de deaeta

Greater than love
16 year old's agape
Before I was taught, I knew
This feeling of love of girls
Even if I was asked whether I was hurt
If I can deliver this feeling, I want to jump in softly
On a Sunday, with a freshly shampooed hair,
I met you on the way to the station
Believe in this occasional fate
I can't help not to call your name
Wanted to look at you happily,
On the pedestrian walkway,
I smiled with red cheeks
16 year old's agape
You held that heavy bag
I am fine taking my own bag, thank you
If what you are holding is too heavy,
I want to help you by your side, successfully
If I can say this feeling out loud,
Today could be be our anniversary day
Believe in this occasional fate
I can't help not to walk alongside you
Although I don't know how to love
But I knew what love is
Greater than love
16 year old's agape
I wanted to always beside you
And cheer you up
Even in days when we are separated far apart,
I will still think of you
If I can say this feeling out loud,
Today could be be our anniversary day
On a Sunday, with a freshly shampooed hair,
I met you on the way to the station
Believe in this occasional fate
I can't help not to walk alongside you
Although I don't know how to love
But I knew what love is
Greater than love
16 year old's agape
