[English]

Oh, if that's the case, why not just go to sleep already?

A screen that's shuttering and closing

Next to the parting words I can't back away from

Spinning around, I’m sorry

Alone, watching a movie I rewatched

The favorite scene of ours

Made my heart race

It's all just things we can't understand

But the only thing that’s true is this miraculous piece we share

Now I want to take you out, I want to burst into laughter

Hating something so much, yet feeling it’s precious—this must be crazy

It's a dark, sick world

But with you, life is showtime

Since we're here, why not dance? Just for tonight, this one time

Show all your flaws and everything

Try with clumsy steps

It's your fault for making me feel this way

Still not saying sorry

While stirring with high heat

The scent of spices flew away

Nothing harmful or medicinal

I'm tired of happy endings

Naming dusty memories as 'treasures'

Made everything look pristine

A small trigger is all it takes

If an arrow hits, it spreads wider

Now I want to take you out, I want to burst into laughter

Hating something so much, yet feeling it’s precious—this must be crazy

Why? Even I don't understand

For now, it seems like this story will go on

Arguing, getting tangled up, and fighting

Until we arrive at such a feeling

I think it reaches me with a more certain touch than that day

A world all alone—can’t even imagine it

Still feeling this loved, crazy about it

It’s not all tough times

With you, life is showtime

Since we're here, why not dance? Just for tonight, this one time

Show all your flaws and everything

Try with clumsy steps

It's your fault for making me feel this way

Still not saying sorry

[Japanese]

あっそ、それならもう寝ちゃえば？

ささくれ⽴って閉じるスクリーン

引けない捨て台詞のそばで

転がしてる Iʼm sorry

⼀⼈ 観返した映画に

⼆⼈の好きなワンシーン

胸が熱くなった

分かり合えないことばかり

でも唯⼀重なってる 奇跡的なピース

今 君を連れ出したい 笑い⾶ばしたい

⼤嫌いで⼤切だなんて どうかしてるって

暗い 病めるこの世界

君がいれば Life is the showtime

せっかくだし踊らない？ 今夜はこの1回

ダメなとこも全部 ひけらかせ

不揃いなステップで Try

そんな気にさせるのって君のせいだ

まだ⾔わない Sorry

強⽕でかき混ぜてる間に

スパイスの⾹りは⾶んだ

毒にも薬にもならない

ハッピーエンドはうんざり

埃まみれの思い出に “宝物”と名付けて

⽩々しくしてた

些細なきっかけがあればいい

⽮印が刺さったら広がってくわ

今 君を連れ出したい 笑い⾶ばしたい

⼤嫌いで⼤切だなんて どうかしてるって

Why? 私にも分からない

とりあえずまだ 続きそうな Story

⽭盾し合って 揉みくちゃになって

たどり着いた Such a feeling

あの⽇よりたしかな⼿触りで届くと思うんだ

ひとりきりの世界 想像つかない

こんなにまだ愛しくてどうかしてるって

ツライことばっかりじゃない

君といれば Life is the showtime

せっかくだし踊らない？ 今夜はこの1回

ダメなとこも全部 ひけらかせ

不揃いなステップで Try

そんな気にさせるのって君のせいだ

まだ⾔わない Sorry
