Lyrics & Translation
The sirens echoing in the distance and your song were resonating
A cheap imitation of an answer
It's hard to breathe, I feel like I might be sick
Hey, if you were here, surely
You would just laugh and say there's nothing here
Let's dance at midnight, 2 AM
My heart sways with your words
Even the cheap excuses, just for now
I’ll stay deceived
We walk through the transparent city
Towards the sound, just wherever we can go
Even if sadness wraps around the night
Pain clings to me without a place to go
Outside the window, the sky blurs and the scent of osmanthus
The sirens in the distance and your song have stopped
The ringing in my ears won't cease
It's so fragile, it feels like it might break
Hey, even if I'm by your side, surely
Nothing would change at all
Let's dance at midnight, 2 AM
The surface of the water ripples with your words
The scent that remains in this room
Is just like osmanthus
We walk through the transparent city
Towards the sound, just wherever we can see
Even if loneliness melts into the night
Pain clings to me without a place to go
Wandering, come on, hesitating
Longing for that light time and again
But I have to go now
Even if it means getting hurt, I have to go
Towards the sound of your voice
Let's dance at midnight, 2 AM
Searching for the endless night and your shadow
Wandering, even if I break
I can say it doesn't matter
Hey, becoming one with osmanthus, it's time to say goodbye
Unravel this night with your words
Sticking to cheap excuses forever
I don't mind being deceived
We walk through the transparent city
Towards the sound, all the way ahead
Even if sadness continues into the morning
Pain clings to me without a place to go
(Let's dance at midnight, 2 AM)
