Lyrics & Translation

[English] Let's walk far away, barefooted
Finding tiny little happiness
The damp moon peeks through the window
It smiled and called me over
We're quite similar, aren't we? Surprisingly
It smiled and called me over
We're quite similar, aren't we? Surprisingly
There's peace in the parts we can't understand
The remnants turned over in the moonlight
Let's make the everyday normal for someone
Dance with me, under the moonlight
Hey, let's play over here in Sunny Side
Hidden things all inside
Hey, let's play over here in Midnight
Open this heavy curtain
Hey, let’s play over here in Midnight
Open this heavy curtain
Hey, let's play over here in Midnight
Open this heavy curtain
Let's escape a night that feels unreal
Still busy with things to do, but good night
Let's escape a night that feels unreal
Still busy with things to do, but good night
Become a shining single star
Let's hijack the city
Let's keep swimming through this mellow day
Take over the city lights
Meet me in the moon
Reaching out but just out of reach
You are my moonlight
Unreasonably, lonely nights come
I want to sleep on old memories
We’re quite alike, so it's a curse
Even hiding things, it's still a curse
Still busy with things to do, but good night
Towards that light somewhere far away
Let's keep swimming through this mellow day
An endless tangle of worries
Let me hear your stories
In a world just for me and you
Become a shining single star
Let's hijack the city
Let's keep swimming through this mellow day
With a heart full of holes,
Thinking only of you
Tonight is a night I can't fall asleep, feeling like I might
Dance with me, under the moonlight
Hey, let's play over here in Sunny Side
Hidden things all inside
Hey, let's play over here in Midnight
Take the city lights away
Hey, let's play over here in Midnight
Take the city lights away
Meet me in the moon
Reaching out but just out of reach
You are my moonlight
Let's walk far away, barefooted
Finding tiny little happiness
The damp moon peeks through the window
It smiled and called me over
We're quite similar, aren't we? Surprisingly
It's hard to understand some parts, but it's peace
The remnants turned over in the moonlight
Let's stay in a normal world for me
