Lyrics & Translation
A silvery shine
It looked like my mom’s old ring and I was drawn to it
On my way back, heading to the usual platform at the station
It disappears as if it's an illusion
I want to burn it into my memory
It’s like I was taken to a planet of love—‘You’
Feeling your gravity
We’re floating gently, weightless
It seems I’ve fallen for this love planet—‘You’
My heart was pounding, wasn’t it?
We’re swaying around in circles, spinning without control
I tried sending out an SOS, hoping to find my way back
But it seemed like no help was coming
Writing ’I Love You’ on the red sand
Just like a comet that disappears someday
I keep searching only for your back
Before I knew it
I realized I was falling for you
Anytime
I act strong, but only in front of you
It’s like I was taken to a love planet—‘You’
Feeling your gravity
Crying alone, bursting into tears
It’s like you left me behind on that love planet—‘You’
My chest keeps fluttering and I can't stop
Walking around aimlessly by myself
I felt like I caught a glimpse of a UFO on my way home
A silvery shine
Even though nothing has changed so far
At the usual platform at the station on my way back
It appears from nowhere and takes me away again
