[English]

A mischievous angel

leads us both astray...

2 a.m.

I’ll come pick you up

Streetlights on the highway

Even now,

I just want to hold you close

So comfortable,

like a gentle breeze,

I try to stay by your side,

but I can’t grasp you

The things I want to say

overflow once again today,

scattering everywhere (Baby baby...)

Oh, I wish time could just stop like this

Stealing you away, anywhere, baby

Make you mine

You’re mine

A mischievous angel

leads us both astray

Until destiny brings me to you

I’ll break through

Now don’t bring me back

I’ll protect you no matter what

So no one but me

can ever love you

Oh

Baby I’ll make you mine

You & me, we’re so fine

Yes, it’s true

even though you want me,

acting so vague

Girl, you make me blind (Baby baby...)

Now, nobody can stop me

I’d throw it all away, even now, baby

Get you mine

Just close your eyes

A mischievous angel

leads us both astray

Until destiny brings me to you

I’ll break through

Now don’t bring me back

I’ll protect you no matter what

So no one but me

can ever love you

Oh, I wish time could just stop like this

Stealing you away, anywhere, baby

Make you mine

You’re mine

A mischievous angel

leads us both astray

Until destiny brings me to you

I’ll break through

Now don’t bring me back

I’ll protect you no matter what

So no one but me

can ever love you

Oh

Baby I’ll make you mine

You & me, we’re so fine...

[Japanese]

悪戯な天使が

二人惑わせる...

午前２時

君を迎えに行く

街灯 くぐるハイウェイ

今すぐだって

抱いていたいのに

心地のいい

風のように

寄り添うのに

掴めない

伝えたい事は

溢れるまま今日も

散らばっていく (Baby baby...)

ああこのまま時が止まればいい

君だけを拐って どこまでだって baby

Make you mine

You’re mine

悪戯な天使が

二人惑わせる

君に届くまでのデスティニー

超えてゆく

今更 Don’t bring me back

君を護り抜く

僕以外もう

君を愛せないように

Oh

Baby I’ll make you mine

You & me we’re so fine

そう確かに

僕を求めるのに

曖昧な態度で

Girl you make me blind (Baby baby...)

もう 誰にも 僕を止められない

全てを捨てたって 今すぐだって baby

Get you mine

Just close your eyes
