[English]

You make me lonely

Easily

You make me happy

With just a word

Last night's misunderstanding

It's still not fixed

So I'm waiting, restless, oh

'Cause I wanna feel you

Every day, every night

I want to connect with you soon

I just want to get your message now,

Your message now

I cherish you...

Casual messages, messages,

Repeat them over and over

I'm up and down

My tears will disappear!!

That's why messages,

Make me believe it's real

Thousands of exchanges

Strengthen the invisible love

Even when it seems meaningless,

It might be the most important thing

I wanna share our day

Please tell me your story.

I want to hear it.

It's okay to be a little clumsy.

I just want to get your message now,

Your message now

I cherish you...

Casual messages, messages,

Repeat them over and over

I'm up and down

My tears will disappear!!

That's why messages,

Make me believe it's real

[Japanese]

You make me lonely

簡単に

You make me happy

一言で

夕べの すれ違い

まだまだ 埋まってない

So I'm waiting ソワソワ Oh

Cuz I wanna feel you

毎日 毎晩

早く繋がりたい

Just wanna get your message now,

message now

愛しくて…

何気ない Messageを, messageを

リピートして

アタシは Up & down

My tears will disappear!!

だからこそ Messageが

Believe it’s for real

幾千の やりとりが

見えない LOVE 強くする

意味が無いようで

一番大事かも

Wanna share our day day

Please tell me your story

聞きたいの。

格好悪くてイイ

Just wanna get your message now,

message now

愛しくて…

何気ない Messageを, messageを

リピートして

アタシは Up & down

My tears will disappear!!

だからこそ Messageが

Believe it’s for real
