[English]

Well, you can't do without love

It has to be you

But romance won't leave me

...

Yearning for a happy ending

Packing excuses to set out on a trip that weigh more than the whole spaceship

Crammed with reasons to embark on the journey

Flew, flew, flew away, that's me

Invisible even through the telescope

And lately, no communication's getting through

But I decided I won't return to the third planet

A comet slips from the eye and sparkles

Even so, what sealed my future was

The fault of a star that's fading away

Well, you can't do without love

It has to be you

Even if I keep playing dumb

You have to say goodbye

I have to keep looking ahead

But romance won't leave me

There's a poster on the pilot's chair

Hiring for a driving job all the way to space

But I quit 'cause they don't pay minimum wage

You can see stars 'cause the surroundings are cold and dark

Even a beautiful galaxy alone

Feels like it'll flicker out in a blink

I've got to get used to being alone

Can't look back just yet

Even if I find a new star

Just gazing at it isn't enough

A planetarium isn't enough

Until the day I forget all about romance

...

Well, you can't do without love

You can't do without love

It has to be you

Even if I keep playing dumb

You have to say goodbye

I have to keep looking ahead

But romance won't leave me

Romance just isn't satisfying enough

...

[Japanese]

そりゃ愛がなくっちゃダメなのさ

あなたじゃなくっちゃダメなのさ

ロマンスが離れないけど

ハッピーエンドに憧れ

宇宙船の総重量を超えるくらい

旅に立つ言い訳を詰め込んで

飛んだ、飛んだ、飛んだ僕だ

望遠鏡には映らない

あと、最近交信届かない

けれど第三惑星戻らないと決めたの

彗星が瞳から滑り落ちて煌めく

それでも未来を決めたのは

終わりゆく星のせいだ

そりゃ愛がなくっちゃダメなのさ

あなたじゃなくっちゃダメなのさ

知らないふりを続けても

さよならがなくっちゃダメなのさ

前を見なくっちゃダメなのさ

ロマンスが離れないけど

操縦席には張り紙

宇宙まで運転のバイト募集

けれど最低賃金払えないから辞めたよ

恒星が見えるのは辺りが寒くて暗いから

美しい銀河も一人じゃ

瞬いて消えちゃいそうだ

孤独に慣れなくっちゃダメなのさ

まだ振り向いちゃダメなのさ

新たな星を見つけても

眺めているだけじゃダメなのさ

プラネタリウムじゃダメなのさ

ロマンスを忘れる日まで

そりゃ愛がなくっちゃダメなのさ

愛がなくっちゃダメなのさ

あなたじゃなくっちゃダメなのさ

知らないふりを続けても

さよならがなくっちゃダメなのさ

前を見なくっちゃダメなのさ

ロマンスが離れないけど

ロマンスじゃ満たされないの
