[English]

Should I stay apart from you

Who wants to see someone without a sweet face

Who's not cute enough

Hiding desire at the corner of my mouth

Who understands my hesitations in conversation

Even if I want to find a confidant to play with

Enjoy some happy singing K together

Flying in the cab to watch a movie with you

How can we unlock the mystery of communication

Letting go of comparisons of lower classes

Being genuine only to get childishness in return

And make you fall for me

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just a little magic

Just a little magic

A new vibe

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just a little magic

Just a little magic

No need to compare

Waiting for the spell to work

Believing that being ordinary is really attractive

Feels like it's soul-deep

Singing with my heart trembling

Traveling between boundaries, hoping to get close

A supernova trying to gain some popularity

Trying to grasp some apology

Chasing after strange aesthetics

Naturally so proud but daring to be naughty

Awkward but remarkable

Just right but unlike you

Three images of

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just a little magic

Just a little magic

A new vibe

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just a little magic

Just a little magic

No need to compare

I know, about all these differences I know

Labels and tags, pointless

How many wounds are like poetry

How much tenderness is like poetry

How many halos are like poetry

Edges and edges in transformation

Cherish the fact that I am different

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just a little magic

Just a little magic

A new vibe

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just a little magic

Just a little magic

Time to update

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just a little magic

Just a little magic

A new marker

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just a little magic

Just a little magic

No need

...

[Chinese]

該不該 與我隔開

無甜美長相哪位想看

不夠哪位可愛

讓渴望 埋藏嘴角

言談太吞吐哪位懂我

即使想找一找知己玩遊戲

討一討歡喜唱通 K

飛一飛的士跟你睇戲

怎麼可解得開溝通的神秘

拋得低階級那攀比

交得出真心換來稚氣

冧得你

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just a little magic

Just a little magic

新風氣

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just a little magic

Just a little magic

哪需媲美

等一等 咒語發生

平凡到相信我很吸引

感覺是靠靈魂

就唱著 心的抖震

穿梭於邊界期待接近

超新星想爭取一些超人氣

想捉摸一些對不起

想追捧一些古怪審美

天生得很清高偏偏敢淘氣

很糟糕偏偏了不起

剛剛好偏偏未曾像你

三幅被

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just a little magic

Just a little magic

新風氣

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just a little magic

Just a little magic

哪需媲美

我知 這麼多分歧我知

標與籤 沒意義

幾多的傷痕似詩

幾多的温柔似詩

幾多的光環似詩

邊與邊 在變異

珍惜我不相似

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just a little magic

Just a little magic

新風氣

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just a little magic

Just a little magic

再 update

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just a little magic

Just a little magic

新標記

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Just a little magic

Just a little magic

哪需
