[English]

Just a little more

Just a tiny bit

If I reach out my hand

The dream that feels within reach

Is right there in front of me

I still want to stay with you

Mixed with hope and anxiety

I drank them all when I combined

The taste was something new

I can't stay like this forever

Ooh wee Ooh wee Ooh

Ahh yah Ahh yah Ahh

A shard of the dreams you gave me

Made my heart race

Ooh wee Ooh wee Ooh

Ahh yah Ahh yah Ahh

I have to go now, they met my eyes

Our gazes locked

Words got stuck

Why are you hesitating?

Hey

Because your eyes are asking

I want to answer, 1, 2 Step

Gathering my courage, I sing

All eyes on us!

Baby

But surely

Bye Bye isn't the end

Yeah yeah

Let's meet beyond our dreams

A wholehearted Bye Bye

You can't stop now

Yeah yeah

Parting is just the starting line

That's right

I want to embrace joy

And High five sadness too

You're not alone

Thank you and Bye Bye

Tears and all, all my life

I'll sing about you

We're gonna get high

I can't stop now

Stay fly

What kind of day is waiting?

Go sign, don't miss it, start again and again

See? Now it's your turn

If the road ahead bends

Then jump over it and grab tomorrow

Dreams shine and sparkle with tears

And even the ache in my chest, I thank it

Just a little more

Just a tiny bit

Oh, when you're distracted in the moment!

The biggest spot to watch out for

You gotta be careful

We can't stop now

Days that have started moving

If it's fate, then that's cool

Hope this is our fate

Because your eyes tell me so

I want to tell you, 1, 2 Step

Gathering my courage, I sing

All eyes on us!

Baby

But surely

Bye Bye isn't the end

Yeah yeah

Let's meet beyond our dreams

A wholehearted Bye Bye

You can't stop now

Yeah yeah

Parting is just the starting line

That's right

I want to embrace joy

And High five sadness too

You're not alone

Thank you and Bye Bye

Tears and all, all my life

I'll sing about you

あと少し

ほんのちょっと

この手伸ばせば

届きそうな夢が

目の前に見えてる

君とまだいたいな

縺れ合う期待と不安

混ぜたら飲み干した

初めての味がした

ずっとこのままじゃいられない

Ooh wee Ooh wee Ooh

Ahh yah Ahh yah Ahh

君がくれた憧れの欠片

鼓動した

Ooh wee Ooh wee Ooh

Ahh yah Ahh yah Ahh

もう行かなきゃだって

目と目が合って

言葉が詰まって

なに躊躇ってんのって

ねえ

君の瞳が問うから

応えたくて 1, 2 Step

振り絞って歌う

All eyes on us!

Baby

だけどきっと

Bye Bye だけじゃ終わんない

Yeah yeah

夢を超えて会おうよ

精一杯のBye Bye

君は止まんない

Yeah yeah

さよならはスタートライン

君を歌うよ

We’re gonna get high

もう止まってらんない

Stay fly

どんな今日がスタンバイ？

Go sign 見逃さず Start again and again

ほら次は君の番だぜ

進む先がもし曲がり角

なら飛び越えて掴むさ明日を

夢が照らし煌めかせる涙と

胸の軋む痛みすらありがとう

あと少し

ほんのちょっと

って時のよそ見 Oh!

一番の注意ポイント

気をつけなきゃね

もう止めらんないね

動き出した Days

運命ならいいね

Hope this is our fate
