[English]

Even the time we can't meet has a restless heartbeat

An unending premonition shakes my perception - Feeling -

No limits, I want to meet you anytime, I can't help it

Dance with me, dyeing it over and over without hesitation

Make you wild

So astonishing, Baby...

Unstoppable Beats...

The impulse that was teased is now

“I want you” “I need you” “I’m still...”

“You've been waiting all this time, haven't you?”

Only this moment

Sing in Night... Woo Woo

More than I wished for, deja vu

Shake it Now... Woo Woo

A dizzying deja vu

It's not a dream, we met beyond dreams like this

Because I'm closer than anyone else

Every time I stand by you... deja vu

A comet passing by, different trajectories

“Why is that?” I want to somehow touch your hand

No reasons, it never disappears deep in my heart

Call me back, with the light I learned from being apart, right now

Make you high

Let your voice resonate, Baby...

Irresistible Beats...

The emotions I've been holding back, look

“You want me” “You need me” “You’re still...”

“Isn't it starting again?”

From this moment

Sing in Night... Woo Woo

The future that connects is deja vu

Shake it Now... Woo Woo

A deja vu like I've never seen before

You’re my only one for real, a dream-like story

Just as you wish

Every time I’m close to you... deja vu

In a fleeting moment, I notice the distant foreshadow

Everything that will happen from now on is woven by the “Sixth Sense”

Shall I take you to the dream I've seen thousands of times?

This voice is the breakthrough

Come closer without looking away, my lady

If you dawdle, time is over

Hey, what's wrong? Let's go

Everything, for you, I've put it all on the line - Show time

[Japanese]

逢えない時間(とき)さえ眠らぬ鼓動

絶え間ない予感が知覚-Feeling-揺るがす

No limits 何時(いつ)だって逢いたくて堪らず

Dance with me幾度だって染め変えて躊躇わず

Make you wild

呆れるほどにBaby...

停め得ないBeats...

焦らされてた衝動が今

“I want you” “I need you” “I’m still...”

「ずっと待ち侘びてたんだろう？」

この瞬間だけ

Sing in Night... Woo Woo

望んだ以上のdeja vu

Shake it Now... Woo Woo

眩暈がするようなdeja vu

夢じゃないさ こうして夢超えて逢えた

誰より近くにいるから

Every time I stand by you... deja vu

すれ違い流れる彗星(ほし) 異なる軌道

「どうしてだろう？」どうにかして手を触れたい

No reasons 何時(いつ)だって消えなくて胸深く

Call me back離れ知ったヒカリで今すぐ

Make you high

声を響かせBaby...

禁じ得ないBeats...

塞き止めてた感情はほら

“You want me” “You need me” “You’re still...”

「また 始まっていくんだろう？」

この瞬間から

Sing in Night... Woo Woo

繋がる未来はdeja vu

Shake it Now... Woo Woo

視たことないようなdeja vu

You’re my only one for real 夢のようなストーリー

君のお気に召す通りに

Every time I’m close to you... deja vu

ふとした瞬間気付く遠い伏線-Foreshadow-

これから起こるすべては軌跡が紡いだ“Sixth Sense”

何万回と見たような夢の元にお連れしましょうか

この声が突破口さ

目を逸らさずにおいでお嬢さん

ぼっとしてちゃ Time is over

ほらどうした？さぁ行こうか

あれもこれも俺のその全てをかけた君だけの為の Show time
