[English]

20GB of a huge cloud

Stuff it, funny about

That day, joking around, small talks

You never really think of me

A shy, awkward smile

An hour I can't spend alone

You’re all in, but I’m okay. See you later

(Hey boy, you don’t have much time)

I want to choose, not too sweet chocolate

(Okay, here’s that dollar dollar bill, yay)

Are you grown-up? I don't know, I don't care

(It disappears in an instant, baby)

If you have a little time...

Everything’s more complicated than before

Tangled wires, can't untangle

That, this and that, we questioned in ‘22

What should I do? Hasta la vista

I saw, the bottom of the bag cracked, like a biscuit

Show me when we meet, I’m waiting with surprises for the weekend

Hey Mama, do you remember her?

Hey Mama, don’t you remember him?

Hey Mama, do you remember her?

Hey Mama, don’t you remember him?

I spent so much time, endless

Tell me before you go, goodbye

Your tears, to me, are especially painful and bitter

If possible, I don’t want my enemies to know this weakness

It’s gone in a different direction from the story you wished for

It’s happened, somehow, somehow

Even as memories increase

No matter how far we go, we’re alone

Maybe that’s the only comfort we have

So someday I can properly say goodbye

Most of the time, I manage okay

Because I’m not dying or anything

I don’t care if you’re relaxed, low-key

I wish I could say ‘Hold me’

That one word feels like a distant spell

It melts away and disappears

I can hear my pain

Singing inside my mind

I can hear my pain

It’s overwhelming

Hey Mama, do you remember her?

Hey Mama, don’t you remember him?

Hey Mama, do you remember her?

Hey Mama, don’t you remember him?

I spent endless time

Tell me before you leave, goodbye

Can we be together

Like we used to be, silly

Sometimes just isn’t enough

Can we talk forever??

詰めろfunny about

that day おどけていたり、些細な会話

you don’t really think about me

愛想のない笑い

1人じゃ使えない1 hour

you are full time But im alright 「あとでね」

(Hey boy ないんだねsome time)

選びたい甘くないチョコレート

(Ok ほらdollar dollar bill yay)

大人かい？わからない、i dont care

(言う間に消えちゃうベイベー)

If you’ve got some time…

everything 前よりcomplicated

絡み合ってとれない有線

あれがあーでこーだったね ‘22に問う

どうしたらいいって Hasta la vista

I saw,カバン底割れたビスケット

会ったら見して、 待ってるsurprise for the weekend

Hey mama do u remember her?

Hey mama don’t u remember him?

Hey mama do u remember her?

Hey mama don’t u remember him?

I spent some time キリないくらい

before you go言ってよbyebye

あなたの　涙は　僕には　ひときわ　痛くて　苦くて

できれば　敵には　知られたくないな　この　弱点は

君の願うストーリー　とは違う方に

きちゃったけど　どうにかこうにか

思い出増えたところで

どこまで行っても僕らは一人

それがせめてもの慰めなのかもしれない

いつかちゃんとサヨナラが　言えるように

大抵大丈夫にはできてる

死ぬわけでもないし

I don’t care if you’re in lowkey 呑気

“Hold me”とか言えたらいいのに

そのひと言が遠い呪文のように

溶けて消えてく

I can hear my pain

Singing in my brain

I can hear my pain

たまんないな

Hey mama do u remember her?

Hey mama don’t u remember him?

Hey mama do u remember her?

Hey mama don’t u remember him?

I spent some time キリないくらい

before you go言ってよbyebye

can we be together

like we used to be ふざけた

たまにじゃ足りないわ

Can we talk forever??
