[English]

Feeling excited, everyone

Peeking through the gaps is your bored face

That mischievous curiosity is

(Round & Round)

A signal that draws your gaze

Flickering Eye to Eye

(Hello babe)

That smile is your first-ever expression

Once you let it all out

(Just like that)

Try drowning in me

Just don’t be shy

Don't wait up, don’t hold back

Now you can dive into me

With moisture, just keep sinking tonight

And I know you'll be mine

Boldly, dive into me

As if melting my heart

Slowly, you’re falling

Moist eyes, I like your gaze

Clumsy escort isn’t so bad

Like it, it’s obvious

The truth is, you like me, right?

Stay close, you & I

Now, in this moment, fall in love

Follow your feelings, deep in my heart, yeah

I’ll give you a chance to swim around

With those rippling emotions

I’ll color everything with them

Come on, don’t be shy

Don’t wait up, don’t hold back

Now you can dive into me

With moisture, just keep sinking tonight

And I know you'll be mine

Boldly, dive into me

As if melting my heart

Slowly, you’re falling

Eh oh, eh oh

Moistly diving

Eh oh, eh oh

Deeper and more

The first flow

Falling freely

As if melting my heart

Slowly, you’re falling

Two hearts weaving together

Guided like destiny

Without hesitation, dive in

When you get lost in it

Your excitement will rise

Just diving, babe

Don't wait up, don’t hold back

Now you can dive into me

With moisture, just keep sinking tonight

And I know you'll be mine

Boldly, dive into me

As if melting my heart

Slowly, you’re falling

Eh oh, eh oh

Moistly diving

Eh oh, eh oh

Deeper and more

First flow

Falling freely

As if melting my heart

Slowly, you’re falling
