[English]

You’re spreading inside me

The moment I found you in the darkness

Your voice surrounds me warmly

Whenever I feel your warmth

It seeps in silently

Into my empty heart, my mind, I fill them up with you

Every day used to be colorless(Every day)

Tomorrow will be dyed with you(Tomorrow)

Just like this, Dye with you

My everything gets revived by you

Will never let you go, I won’t

Don’t let go of this hand you’re holding

It’s meaningless without you

O swear not by the moon woah

Changing everyday like the moon Woah

Don’t make that vow

The last and everlasting

If the kiss is not the kind

Dye me with you Woah

Dye yourself with me Woah

So I can be inside you

And also you can be inside me

We can be together forever

O Swear not by the moon

The stain on my heart when I lost you

This scar I never want to see(I know)

Please dye it with you so I won’t ever see it again(Yeah Yeah)

Now I know the meaning(I do)

I’ve realized it already(I do)

In the world that dyed me

You’re the reason why I’m alive

Whenever I feel your breath

It spreads in my whole body(Yeah)

Into my empty heart, my mind, I fill them up with you

Every day used to be colorless(Every day)

Tomorrow will be dyed with you(Tomorrow)

Just like this, I Dye with you

My everything gets revived by you

Will never let you go, I won’t

Don’t let go of this hand you’re holding

It’s meaningless without you

O swear not by the moon woah

Changing everyday like the moon Woah

Don’t make that vow

The last and everlasting

If the kiss is not the kind

Dye me with you Woah

Dye yourself with me Woah

So I can be inside you

And also you can be inside me

We can be together forever

O Swear not by the moon

So we can be together forever

You’re forever in me

O swear not by the moon Woah

O swear not by the moon

Dye me

O swear not by the moon woah

Changing everyday like the moon Woah

Don’t make that vow

The last and everlasting

If the kiss is not the kind

O Swear not by the moon

O Swear not by the moon

O Swear not by the moon woah
