[English]

Pretending not to hear, saying goodbye as usual here

Running away on the express, hair flowing, hiding tears

Positive timeline, carrying loneliness somewhere

I want to tell you

Everyone surely hides their pain

Smile to hide the pain

In this boring town, I lie with a melancholic face

The heart I thought I had deceived is crumbling deep inside

I want to be wrapped up more in your arms

Not being able to see tomorrow

I need your love I need your love

I need any day anywhere anything you and me

You and me

If tomorrow is ambiguous

I don't need a love that is an invisible risk

Still, why can't I stop?

I want to touch your kindness

I need your love I need your love

I need any day anywhere anything you and me

You and me

[Japanese]

聞こえないフリで いつも通りココでbye-bye

走り去るexpress なびく髪 涙隠し

前向きなTL どっかに抱える孤独

あなたに伝えたくて

誰もがきっと 痛み隠して

smile to hide the pain

退屈な街に 物憂げな顔で lie

誤魔化したはずの 心深く崩れてく

もっと 包まれたいの その腕に

明日が見えなくて

I need your love I need your love

I need any day anywhere anything you and me

You and me

曖昧な 明日なら

愛なんて見えないリスク私はいらない

それでもなんで止められないの

あなたの優しさに触れたくて

I need your love I need your love

I need any day anywhere anything you and me

You and me
