[English]

A smile brighter than any shining jewel

A heart stolen in an instant

All eyes on you - What will you do?

Staring at the screen in the intersection

That little girl from those days

A big dream was quietly born in my heart

I turned Mom’s closet upside down

Putting together an outfit, stretching to reach

I tried to copy the pose from a magazine

Lights, camera, action! - This is my stage

(Who?) Overflowing with feelings

(You) I want to be honest

Because I want to make it come true

Just you wait and see

I wanna be like you

Mystic, my muse

Flying with you to a world of dreams

My heart just won’t stop singing

To a place where the light shines

I’ll take you there too

Won’t you take my hand?

Woo, Da da da la da

Mystic, you’re my muse

Woo, Da da da la da

Catch that spark now

Woo, Da da da la da

Mystic, you’re my muse

Woo, Da da da la da

I just wanna be your, - be your muse right now

The latest fashion

That smile on her face

Her voice is Heaven, walking feels like Magic

Yeah it’s so dramatic - the whole city’s in a Panic

The girl reflected on the screen

That little girl from those days

I’m sure a future like that is waiting for me, I can’t wait

Even if they say my dreams are too big

I don’t care what they say

One look and I’m completely captivated

Engraving my name into the timeline

(Who?) What I want to be

(Muse) Now that I’ve decided

I can’t be stopped

Just you wait and see

I wanna be like you

Mystic, my muse

Flying with you to a world of dreams

My heart just won’t stop singing

To a place where the light shines

I’ll take you there too

Won’t you take my hand?

Going where you are

Just as I’ve always admired

To where you are

I can’t seem to reach

Woo, Da da da la da

Mystic, you’re my muse

Woo, Da da da la da

Catch that spark now

Woo, Da da da la da

Mystic, you’re my muse

Woo, Da da da la da

I just wanna be your, - be your muse right now
