Boys and Girls

Daydreams are only natural

It's not about right or wrong, it's about the direction you love

Everything is a miracle

That world of your own

I love you, Hopeless

Because feeling 'not enough' is what it's all about

Because I can't understand it

Isn't it where I always stay excited?

Keep the antenna in control

Embrace even the gloom

We can go anywhere

That's how I feel

Changing little by little

Getting tired of people and seasons, but

If I give up on myself

I can't even notice the pain

The future just scares me

Do you love me? No wonder

I'm just losing sight

I can't measure it

You're trying to define what happiness means, right?

Keep the antenna in control

Hold onto old wounds too

We can go back anywhere

That's how I feel

Did you sense it? The signals of reason

Did you receive it? My love is

There's nothing wrong with it

Your unique frequency

I have no past I want to redo

I wish I could apologize

What has gone won't come back

My galaxy of living today

Are you going to give up love? Really?

Are you tired?

The antenna is moving

We are alive

No matter what we're doing

It's the unchanging truth

I love you, Hopeless

Through countless crossings

Toward the unseen scenery

Can you get excited again?

Keep the antenna in control

Embrace everything

We can go anywhere

That's how I feel

Boys and Girls

妄想は当然だ

良し悪しじゃない好きな方角

どれもが奇跡

君だけのその世界

愛してるよ ホープレス

「満ち足らない」こそね

わかりはしないから

いつもドキドキしていれるんでしょう？

アンテナコントロールして

憂鬱も抱きしめて

どこまでも行ける

そんな気がしてる

少しずつと変わる

人や季節に疲れてしまうけど

私が私自身を諦めて

痛みに気づけない

未来がただ怖い

愛してるの？ どうりで

見失うばっかりで

測れはしない

幸福の意味付けをしてるんでしょう？

アンテナコントロールして

古傷も抱きしめて

どこまでも戻れる

そんな気がしてる

感じ取った？ 理の電波

受け取った？ 私の愛は

間違ったことなんて無いわ

君だけの存在の周波

やり直したい過去は無いけど

謝れたら良いな

過ぎ去ったものは戻らないけど

今日を生きる私の銀河

愛を捨てるの？ 本気で？

疲れてしまったの？

アンテナは動いてる

私たちは生きている

何をしていても

変わらない真実です

愛してるよ ホープレス

数知れない交差で

まだ見ぬ景色に

ドキドキ出来るんでしょう？

アンテナコントロールして

全てを抱きしめて

どこまでも行ける

そんな気がしてる
