Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow

世界で1番 僕が嫌いなのは僕だと

The one I hate the most in the world is myself, I realized that.

気づいたときから 黙り込んでしまった

Since I noticed, I fell silent and shut myself in.

友達なんかは 欲しいと思わなかったし

I didn't even want friends or anything.

みんなに紛れて なんでも頷いた

I just nodded along with everyone, blending in.

夢とか希望を背負うより 楽なほうがいい

It's easier to carry no dreams or hopes than to carry those burdens.

何も期待しないことが 傷つかない未来

Not expecting anything keeps me from getting hurt in the future.

君を好きになった それだけのことでも

Just liking you—that's all there is to it—

全てがひっくり返って キラキラし始めた

and everything turned upside down, started to shine.

愛ってこんなにも チカラがあるのか

Love, does it have this much power?

僕は生まれ変わったんだ 好きになってくれ

I've been reborn—please fall in love with me.

Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow

Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow

人はいくつから 大人と呼ばれてしまうのか

At what age do people start calling themselves adults?

自分のことさえも 理解できないまま

While still not understanding myself at all,

何にもやりたいことなんか なかった僕でも

Even when I had no desire to do anything,

君会えるかもしれない 明日が楽しみだ

maybe I'll meet you someday. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

誰かを好きになる 易しいことなのに

Loving someone is such an easy thing.

運命的に出会わなきゃ 心は動かない

But until you meet by fate, your heart won't move.

この恋逃したら 青春は終わる

If I miss this love, my youth ends.

僕は僕を嫌いじゃない 好きなってくれ

I don't dislike myself—I want you to like me.

心で感じた こっちへと振り向かせたくなる

Feeling it with my heart, I want to turn your gaze toward me.

願いの強さよ 全てをゼロにしてでも

The strength of my wish— even if I have to reset everything to zero.

前しか見えない 全力で行くよ情熱の近くまで

I can only see forward, I'll go all out, close to passion.

答えが欲しい

I want an answer.

君を好きになった それだけのことでも

Just liking you—that's all there is to it—

全てがひっくり返って キラキラし始めた

and everything turned upside down, started to shine.

愛ってこんなにも チカラがあるのか

Love, does it have this much power?

僕は生まれ変わったんだ 好きになってくれ

I've been reborn—please fall in love with me.

君を後悔させない 好きなってくれ

I won't let you regret loving me, please like me.
