Lyrics & Translation

[English] Isn’t it now?
Ignite with a blazing fire
Just dormant justice inside
Even I want to become your hero
For your cool self
Am I not reliable enough?
Of course, that’s true
Because I’m still hesitating now
Will you hold my hand?
It’s give and take
Just like you’ve been my hero
Isn’t it now?
Burning fiercely
Even in someone like me, justice lurks
Driven by unstoppable impulses
Before I know it, I’m holding your hand
What in the world
Are you carrying so much baggage and heading somewhere?
Hey, wait, why don’t you trust me and give it to me?
I, who only believe,
and you, who are afraid to believe,
Neither of us can decide who’s right,
No one knows
Our own world
It’s give and take
If we can support each other, I want to share the same dream
The reason I torment you as being so cool
Is that I’ve made you feel lonely,
Mostly, it’s my fault, sorry about that
But what we need to look at is reality
Now is the time I’ll save you
Don’t carry it alone, trust me, rely on me
Isn’t it now?
Ignite with a blazing fire
Even in someone like me, justice lurks
Driven by unstoppable impulses
Before I know it, I’m holding your hand
I can’t leave it alone
Are you heading somewhere with so much baggage?
Just trust me a little, give it to me for a bit?
I want to become your hero too
