[English]

When we met

The pain stood still

It was us

Then suddenly

It's where you go

The system blew, I knew

This side of me

I want a little more

But inside it seems I'm just a little boy

Nothing else!

Don't go! It's a mighty long fall

When you thought love was the top (Whoa)

Oh no! It's a wake up call

When your life went into shock (Whoa whoa)

It seems like gravity keeps pulling us back down

Don't go! it's a mighty long fall

When you know time is up (Whoa whoa)

嘘 一つ 愛を 二つ

...

それでなんとかやりすごしてきたでしょう？

でもそれじゃもう僕をだませないでしょう？

じゃどうする どうしよう

Don't go! It's a mighty long fall

When you thought love was the top (Whoa)

Oh no! It's a wake up call

When your life went into shock (Whoa whoa)

描きたがりな未来に明日はない (Whoa)

いっそどうせ痛むなら

痛め続けよう 続けよう

Woah Woah Woah

Get up get up get up get up

Time to make amends for what you've done

Get up get up get up get up

Running with your demons in your head

Let's shout it out completely

Never really want to know

Let's shout it out, we're screaming

Woah

...

Don't go! It's a mighty long fall

When you thought love was the top (Whoa-oh-oh)

Oh no! It's a wake up call

When your life went into shock (Whoa, whoa)

It seems like gravity keeps pulling us back down

Don't go! It's a mighty long fall

When you know time is up! (Whoa, whoa)

Don't go! D-d-d-d-don't go!

D-d-d-d-don't go! Don't go!
