もう頭は overload

My head is overload

食べ尽くした HARIBO

I’ve eaten all the HARIBO

音漏れする headphones

Sound leaks from my headphones

It's 4AM の孤独

It’s 4AM, feeling lonely

会いたいなんて言わない

I don’t say I want to see you

もどかしい今も愛したい

Even now, with so much frustration, I want to love

違っていて良いんじゃない

It’s okay to be different

私は私でいたいの

I just want to be myself

We're all lonely

We're all lonely

Show me your dream

Show me your dream

あなたのしたいように

Do as you please

正解だけの世界じゃない

It’s not just a world of right answers

Maybe it's not a masterpiece

Maybe it’s not a masterpiece

But who cares if you'll sing with me

But who cares if you sing with me?

So let's go

So let’s go

The sun's up

The sun’s rising

I like you just the way you are

I like you just the way you are

1 2 3 Your smile is the best thing in the world

1, 2, 3 — your smile is the best in the world

You shine too brightly to match, overflowing

悲しい夜は明けるよ

Sad nights will end

Sing "It's alright"

Sing 'It’s alright'

Everything's gonna be alright

Everything’s gonna be alright

Everything’s gonna be alright

テキトーなんてできない

Can’t just do things carelessly

でも曖昧も嫌じゃない

But I don’t dislike even vague feelings

Maybe you don’t have to hold back

もう頭再起動したい

I want to restart my mind

ため息ばかり party night

Sighs all around, party night

胸がぎゅっとなって切ない

My chest tightens, so painful

お開きからがスタート

Post-party is just the beginning

最高で最低な歌を

Singing the best and worst songs

No it's not a masterpiece

No, it’s not a masterpiece

But who cares if you'll sing with me

But who cares if you sing with me?

So let's go

So let’s go

The sun's up

The sun’s up

I like you just the way you are

I like you just the way you are

1 2 3 Your smile is the best thing in the world

1, 2, 3 — your smile is the best in the world
