[English]

Strange atmosphere

It's my fault, wait

I just want to know about you

That's all I want

Nights where I lock away my sighs

I'm getting tired of it

Feel it, softly, deeper into the heartbeat

A special room

I usually don't get greedy, but

When my heart races

Come to me faster than a shooting star

Let's start a secret

Intertwining our twisted fingers

Let's begin

It might be a strange hobby

It's a secret

It's distorted

Putting up a membrane and taking it off

It's a secret

It's distorted

It would be nice if we could overlap

I strummed

Deep within the distortion, it should be gentler

I just want to know about you

“Something so precious it makes you cry

Just occasionally is fine”

I whisper so you won't spill

A special room

Where should I entrust myself?

Right here, right now

I want to rely on you

Shoulder to shoulder in blue

We're all crowded together

Shyly, with you

We can overcome this pale night

This life

Isn't anyone's, right?

Let's start a secret

Intertwining our twisted fingers

Let's begin

It might be a strange hobby

It's a secret

It's distorted

Putting up a membrane and taking it off

It's a secret

It's distorted

It would be nice if we could overlap

Like a flash

A phantom night

Like a flash

It passes by

Like a flash

A phantom night

It's still okay, right?

[Japanese]

変な空気

私のせい　待って

あなたのこと

知りたいだけなの

ため息に鍵をかける夜は

懲り懲りしちゃう

感じてもっと奥の鼓動をそっと

特別なRoom

欲張りは普段しないけれど

高鳴れば

流れ星より早く来てよ

秘密をはじめましょう

よじれてる指絡ませて

はじめましょう

変な趣味かもね

秘密ね

歪ね

膜を張って脱いだりして

秘密ね

歪ね

重ね合わせたらいいでしょう

かき鳴らした

ひずみの奥　もっと優しいはず

知りたいだけなの

"泣けるぐらいに愛しいことなんて

たまにでいい"

呟くあなたをこぼさないよう

特別なRoom

委ねるべきは何処なのか

今ここで

あなたのこと頼りたいの

ブルーに肩寄せ

ひしめきあってる

はにかんだ　あなたと

淡い夜　超えていける

この人生

誰のものでもないでしょう

秘密をはじめましょう

よじれてる指絡ませて

はじめましょう

変な趣味かもね

秘密ね

歪ね

膜を張って脱いだりして

秘密ね

歪ね

重ね合わせたらいいでしょう

フラッシュみたいな

幻の夜

フラッシュみたいに

過ぎ去ってゆく

フラッシュみたいな

幻の夜

まだ　いいでしょう
