From my heart

唇かんで指で触って

Bite my lip, touch with my finger

あなたとのキス確かめてたら

The rain stops and stars start to spill

And rub it gently

The gentle present

地球儀は今日も回るけれど

The globe keeps spinning today too

只明日も

Ah, the sunlight on the tips of my eyelashes

陽射しの上

Pierces through

大きな雲の中突き進もう

Let’s push forward through the big clouds

Ah ah あなたがあたしの耳を

Ah ah, when you heat my ears

熱くさせたら

And make my heart race
