[English]

Hey, I started to say...

And sorry for yesterday...

Even my unhelpful replies...

The 'I love you' crying deep inside...

I could lie and say I don't care, but...

Please understand this anxiety I feel sometimes.

My love for you is like a rollercoaster.

Spinning, shaking, falling, I wonder if it'll reach you.

Tonight's love story...

The flowing stars are beautiful.

I'll send you the continuation of my words.

Hey, look at me baby

I'm so into you.

I say, I love you

Stay in my eyes forever.

In the next life, or the past life...

I'll always want to see you.

I'm so into you.

All day long.

I'll say it properly, so listen.

As many times as it takes, tens of thousands of times...

I'll call your name.

Will you stay with me forever?

Your profile illuminated by the moonlight...

I want more time to be mesmerized by you.

Every time you're reflected in my heart...

Make me hot

I couldn't be honest, and I kept...

Torn in love

"I'm home" and "Welcome back".

Happiness reflected back.

A flower of love bloomed subtly beside me.

Together forever, we don't need words.

Because I'll remember it deep inside my heart.

I'm so into you.

I say, I love you

Stay in my eyes forever.

In the next life, or the past life...

I'll always want to see you.

I'm so into you.

All day long.

I'll say it properly, so listen.

As many times as it takes, tens of thousands of times...

I'll call your name.

Please

Along with those tears...

The prayer that seems like it's about to spill out...

I'll go wipe them away right away.

Call my name.

I'll hold you, forever.

So you won't cry alone.

[Japanese]

ねぇ 言いかけた

昨日のごめんも

頼り甲斐のない相槌も

裏側で泣いてる I love you

気にしてないって嘘はつけたけど

たまに胸騒ぐのもわかってよ

好きが募ってローラーコースター

回って 揺れて 落ちて君に届くかな

今夜の恋模様

流れる星うららか

言葉のつづきを贈るよ

Hey, look at me baby

君に夢中

I say, I love you

僕の瞳にずっといて

来世でも 前世でも

ずっと会いたくて

君に夢中

四六時中

ちゃんと言うからねぇ聞いて

何回でも 何万回でも

名前を呼ぶよ

Will you stay with me forever?

月夜照らされる横顔

見惚れる時間がもっと欲しいよ

心に君映るたび

Make me hot

正直になれずにずっと

Torn in love

ただいまとおかえり

幸せ跳ね返し

傍らにさりげなく咲いた 恋の花

ずっと一緒 言葉はいらないよ

心のもっと奥で覚えてるから

君に夢中

I say, I love you

僕の瞳にずっといて

来世でも 前世でも

ずっと会いたくて

君に夢中

四六時中

ちゃんと言うからねぇ聞いて

何回でも 何万回でも

名前を呼ぶよ

Please

その涙と一緒に

こぼれ落ちそうな祈り

すぐ拭いに行くから

僕を呼んで

抱きしめる ずっと

1人泣かないよう
