まさかこんなに媚びてまうとは

まさかこんなに惚れてまうとは

I never thought I'd fall so hard

そいでこんなに拗らせるとはな

And get so messed up over it

別にどうにでもなりゃいいのに

I wish I could just not care at all

別におれにはカンケーないのに

Honestly, it’s none of my business

まさかこんなに捉われるとはな

I didn’t think I’d be so captivated

だんだん遠くなったあなたへ (全部全部おれのせい)

To the gradually distant you (All my fault, all of it)

だんだん離れてったあなたへ (責めてみても仕方ねえ)

To the you drifting away (There's no point blaming)

だんだんバカになったこのおれ

I’ve become more and more foolish

どうすりゃいい？どうすればいい？

What should I do? How can I fix this?

あぁ幸せってどんなだったけな

Ah, what did happiness feel like, again?

覚えてないや

I don’t remember anymore

どけ そこどけおれが通る

Get out of the way, move aside, I’m coming through

やめ それやめむしず走る

Stop it. Quit that. I keep running in circles

だめ もうだめぜんぶ終る

No, it’s no good. It’s all over now

分かりきったことやん 今さら

It’s obvious now, isn’t it? After all this time

完ペキとか無理やん ハナから

Perfection’s impossible from the start

別に何も期待してないけどな

I don’t really have any expectations anyway

だんだん好きになったあなたへ (ヘンな気持ち誰のせい)

To the you who’s slowly started to like me (Whose fault are these weird feelings?)

だんだん赤くなった青さへ (責めてみても仕方ねえ)

To the redness that grew in the blue (There’s no point blaming)

だんだんアホになったこのおれ

I’ve become more and more foolish

どうすりゃいい？どうすればいい？

明日なんか来ると思わずにどうした？

Why didn’t I think tomorrow might come?

全部まだまだこれからだから

It’s all still ahead, there’s so much more to come

いつかあんたに辿り着くから

I’ll eventually reach you

Damn, damn don't give a damn

Damn, damn, I don't give a damn

Just love in my head (Hey little father won't you come with me)

Just love in my head (Hey little father, won’t you come with me)

We'll just dancing away

We’ll just be dancing away

From bullshits ahead ('Kay it's okay yeah we gotta believe)

Over all the bullshit ('Kay, it’s okay, yeah, we gotta believe)

だんだん近くなったわたしへ

To the gradually closer me

どうしようか？どこいこうか？
