[English]

I want you to take me home

I want to be fulfilled tonight

If possible, I want you to

Wet me a little

I want to lean on you while drunk

I want to kiss you to cover it up

I want to be with you

In a dark and warm room

On a night where we touch shoulders, feeling hot and dizzy

I'll tell you one thing that's missing

“What you see in the sky you look up at”

I want you to take me home

I want to be fulfilled tonight

If possible, I want you to

Wet me a little

I want to lean on you while drunk

I want to kiss you to cover it up

I want to be with you

In a dark and warm room

Pretty love isn't really my style

Hey, leaving it to the skin is fine too, right?

So don’t look away

Until the sun rises

Just look at me

I can't say that, can I?

I can't say that, can I?

I can't say that, can I?

I can't say that, can I?

I can't

I want you to take me home

I want to be disturbed tonight

If possible, I want you to hold me

Tightly forever

I want to lean on you while drunk

I want to kiss you to cover it up

I want you

In a sweet and warm room

Saying “it's not my type” or something

Because I can see love in my heart

Even if it's just for one night, that's fine

That kind of phrasing is okay

Then let’s have a kiss like the one

In the seventh chapter of the book I read earlier

Except for the one reflected in your eyes

I can't see anyone else

A love that even blinds the seasons

I can't say that I have feelings for you

I can't say that, can I?

I want you to take me home

I want to be fulfilled tonight

If possible, I want you to

Wet me a little

I want to lean on you while drunk

I want to kiss you to cover it up

I want to be with you

In a dark and warm room

Na na na, na na na

Na na na, na na na, hehehe

Na na na, na na na na na, na na na

Na na na, na na na, hehehe

I want you to take me home

I want to be with you until morning

I want you to take me home

I want to be with you until morning

[Japanese]

家まで送ってもらいたいの

今夜満たされてたいの

できれば君にちょっと

濡らしてほしいの

酔いで寄りたいの

ごまかしてキスしたいの

君といたいよ

暗くてぬるい部屋で

火照って ふらついて 肩触れ合う夜に

足りないものを一つ教えてあげる

「君が見上げた空に見えるもの」

家まで送ってもらいたいの

今夜満たされてたいの

できれば君にちょっと

濡らしてほしいの

酔いで寄りたいの

ごまかしてキスしたいの

君といたいよ

暗くてぬるい部屋で

綺麗な愛とか柄じゃない

ねぇ肌に任す それもいいじゃない

だからよそ見しないで

日が昇るまで

私だけを見てよ

言えるわけないじゃん

言えるわけないじゃん

言えるわけないじゃん

言えるわけないじゃん

ないじゃん

家まで送ってもらいたいの

今夜乱されたいの

できれば君にずっと

抱きしめてほしいの

酔いで寄りたいの

ごまかしてキスしたいの

君が欲しいよ

甘くてぬるい部屋で

「好みじゃない」とか抜かしてさ

心に愛とか見えるから

一夜限りでもいいよ

そんな言い回しはいいの

それじゃあさっき読んだ本の

7話みたいなキスしよう

君の瞳映る一人以外は

見えるわけはないよ

季節さえも眩む愛を

私、君に気があるなんて

言えるわけはないよ

家まで送ってもらいたいの

今夜満たされてたいの

できれば君にちょっと

濡らしてほしいの

酔いで寄りたいの

ごまかしてキスしたいの

君といたいよ

暗くてぬるい部屋で

ななな なーなら

なーなら なーなら ふふふふ

ななな ななななな ななな

なーなら なーなら ふふふふ

家まで送ってもらいたい

朝まであなたといたいよ

家まで送ってもらいたい

朝まであなたといたいよ
