Hey Baby, I wanna hold your hand.

Feeling so happy, I wanna hold your hand.

Hey Baby, I wanna hold your hand.

Feeling so happy.

I don't even know myself.

I can't tell my secrets.

Do you understand?

This mysterious thing.

Hey, friend.

Darling.

Today too (Baby).

I can't sleep; surely, I won't.

Feeling anxious, what should I do, hey.

Your heart will never break, ah.

It traces your glass heart.

In the vibrations of tear-colored light, try again.

I can't help but let out a voice.

Hey Baby, I wanna hold your hand.

Feeling so happy, I wanna hold your hand.

Hey Baby, I wanna hold your hand.

Feeling so happy.

I wanna hold your hand.

What should I have done until now?

Not knowing what was right.

I made the wounds deeper.

Dissolving the blade.

Hey, friend.

Darling.

Today too (Baby).

Can't settle down, but surely.

Things should go well, right?

Your heart will never break, ah.

It traces your glass heart.

In the vibrations of tear-colored light, try again.

I can't help but let out a voice.
