[English]

What is happening?

What's happening?

Just Like a movie...

Like in a movie...

What is happening?

What's happening?

Wow wow wow yeah

Wow wow wow yeah

What is happening?

What's happening?

Just Like a movie...

Like in a movie...

What is happening?

What's happening?

帰り道を急ぐ

Hurrying home

雑踏を抜けて２つ目の交差点

Passing through the crowd, at the second intersection

いつもと変わらず

Exactly the same as always

挨拶程度に言葉交わした

Exchanged greetings with a few words

ほんの数秒で

In just a few seconds

胸の裏側熱くなっていく

My chest starts to heat up

悟られたくなくて作り笑顔で

Trying to stay calm with a fake smile, not wanting to reveal it

躱そうとはしたけど

I tried to hide it

何もかも見透かされていたみたい

But it felt like everything was seen right through me

どんな台本でどんな台詞で

Whether with any script or any lines

ワクワクするような

It’s exciting

未体験ゾーンへ誘うの

Leading us into uncharted territory

偶然が起こしたハプニング

A happening caused by a coincidence

言い訳にしちゃっても良いよね

It’s okay to justify it as an excuse

運命を変えていくキャスティング

Casting that changes fate

ほら この先はどうにでも

Look, from here on, anything can happen

君とのハプニング

Your happening with me

願ってたなんて言えなくて

I can’t say I wished for this

心の声だけマスキング

Just masking my true feelings

理由が欲しいのなら

If you want a reason

この世界のせいにして

Blame it on this world

What is happening?

What's happening?

Just Like a movie...

Like in a movie...

What is happening?

What's happening?

Wow wow wow yeah

Wow wow wow yeah

What is happening?

What's happening?

Just Like a movie...

Like in a movie...

What is happening?

What's happening?

Wow wow wow yeah

Wow wow wow yeah

摑みどころのない

Unpredictable,

君のペースに飲まれたままじゃ

If I stay swept away by your pace,

進めそうにないよ

It doesn't seem like I can move forward

正直な話解ってはいたけど

Honestly, I kind of understood

理屈じゃない特別な何か

But it’s something beyond logic, something special

考えるほど深みにハマる

The more I think, the deeper I get caught

全部投げ出して

Throw everything away

未完成の愛に触れたいよ

I want to touch unfinished love

偶然が起こしたハプニング

A happening caused by a coincidence

ドラマのような伏線で

Like a plot twist in a drama

一つに重なるタイミング

Timing when things overlap

ほら 想像の向こうへと

Look, beyond your imagination

君とのハプニング

Your happening with me

必然なのかもしれないね

Maybe it's fate

二人だけが知るロジック

A logic only the two of us know

答えはないから

Because there’s no real answer

君の声を聴かせて

Let me hear your voice

(Listen to your heart beat)

(Listen to your heartbeat)

誰にも邪魔されない場所で

In a place where no one can disturb

(So no one knows where)

(So no one knows where)

ありふれた明日を作り変えたら

If we recreate an ordinary tomorrow

(Changing tomorrow)

(Changing tomorrow)

未体験ゾーンへ誘おう

Let’s be led into uncharted territory

偶然が起こしたハプニング

A happening caused by a coincidence

言い訳にしちゃっても良いよね

It’s okay to justify it as an excuse

運命を変えていくキャスティング

Casting that changes fate
