[English]

You should be knowing That situation you got.

No, there’s no turning back any more.

Society, values, time—

You cried out in a loud voice,

‘They all just won’t wait for me...’

Uncaring indifference, that’s the sad reality.

Why don't you give it a shot.

You know how it goes. Everybody

Thinking with their tiny little minds.

In their interest or not, whatever,

The answer’s just the same. Ready?

Sure,Let's come back here.

Welcome to my home!

Candy or the whip, which do you like??

When you’ve chosen, rise up!!

Is this where we say bye-bye??

Call me Call me Call me Call me

Can’t make promises,

But this way for sure more Enjoy time.

It can’t work out for everything!

But just strive to try my best!

May I take your order?

My mind cannot erase the heartache.

We all carry some kind of burden;

Living with worries and regrets.

I've got a feeling

Nobody’s time is meaningless,

They say even dreams lead somewhere.

Looking for faults, whatever–

Who cares! Are you ready?

Seize the moment!

Let's come back here,Welcome to my home!

The sweet and the bitter—Each one’s own.

You want to play? Childish!

So, already it’s bye-bye??

Call me Call me Call me Call me

Trying to stand tall—don’t make it a joke.

Tears will also make a rainbow;

For sure this dreary day will too.

Listen to your heart—it will change.

May I take your order?

I've got a feeling

It’s a common sight. In the crowd

I say we all do our own thing;

Indulge yourself, it’s okay.

Just don’t miss the next wave. Ready?

One moment of pain,

Ten moments of delight.

Look for a reason, lift up your head.

Right, let’s make a start.

A step forward or back? It’s just a state of mind—

Winning or losing. The dice are cast.

Your ragged reality, kick it away,

Just for me.

Seize the moment!

Let's come back here,Welcome to my home!

Candy or whip, which do you like??

When you’ve chosen, rise up!!

Is this where we say bye-bye??

Call me Call me Call me Call me

Can’t make promises,

But this way for sure more Enjoy time.

It can’t work out for everything.

But just strive to try my best!!

May I take your order?
