[English]

You definitely need love, right?

You're the one I need, right?

Though the romance won't leave me alone.

...

I long for a happy ending.

It's like the total weight of the spaceship is exceeding,

Filled with excuses to start my journey.

I flew, I flew, it was me who flew.

It's not reflected in the telescope.

And, recently, I haven't been receiving any signals.

But I've decided not to return to the third planet.

A comet is sparkling as it slides from my eyes.

But even so, it was the end of the star

that made me decide my future.

You definitely need love, right?

You're the one I need, right?

Even if I keep pretending not to know,

You definitely need a goodbye, right?

You definitely need to look forward, right?

Though the romance won't leave me alone.

There's a notice on the control panel.

"Looking for a part-time driver to the universe."

But I quit because they couldn't pay the minimum wage.

You can see the stars because it's cold and dark around you.

Even a beautiful galaxy, when you're alone,

It seems like it'll twinkle and disappear.

You definitely need to get used to loneliness, right?

You still mustn't look back, right?

Even if you find a new star,

Just looking at it isn't enough, right?

A planetarium won't do, right?

Until the day I forget the romance.

...

You definitely need love, right?

You definitely need love, right?

You're the one I need, right?

Even if I keep pretending not to know,

You definitely need a goodbye, right?

You definitely need to look forward, right?

Though the romance won't leave me alone.

Romance won't satisfy me.

...

[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
