[English]

The direction of the arrow of the heart

No one… can catch up to it

I hear the heartbeat, a story that’s starting to run

Cupid, tell me

How to love and kiss

Where is love hiding

Today again, to you

Where is love hiding

I hope we can meet

Gracefully, Pride wrapped around me

Confidently, steps echoing down Main Street...

A sudden passing shower’s surprise

Nobody knows what tomorrow holds

The future’s uncertain

How to love, how to kiss

I don’t really know what you like

The world I trace with my finger… on your lips

The arrow of my heart’s headed for you

What should I do… I can’t stop

The moment I realize I’m in love

Why do we keep passing by

I know… I love you selfishly

Still, I want to reach out

This feeling, it’s the first of its kind

Cupid, tell me

How to love and kiss

Where is love hiding

Today again, to you

Where is love hiding

I hope we can meet

Right now, what do I want?

Honestly, who do I want to be with right now?

Sensitive to what others think

Insensitive to my own feelings

OK, deep breath now

If only I had you in this changing scenery

As long as you’re here with me

Wishing tomorrow will be greater than I imagine

The arrow of my heart’s headed for you

What should I do… I can’t stop

This feeling, it’s the first of its kind

Cupid, tell me

How to love and kiss

Give you, love you, show you, hold you

Let me know your ‘All’

Not anyone else, I won’t give you up to anyone

I can’t quite say it, but…

Whatever the scene (Feel love)

Look at me (Show me yeah)

“It was you who made me falling in love”

The arrow of my heart’s headed for you

What should I do… I can’t stop

The moment I realize I’m in love

Why do we keep passing by

I know… I love you selfishly

Still, I want to reach out

This feeling, it’s the first of its kind

Cupid, tell me

How to love and kiss

Where is love hiding

Today again, to you

Where is love hiding

I hope we can meet
