[English]

With a cute sigh, I remember

Her eyes are like sweet flames, so bright

All right - That romantic dream, it’s all about money

All right - Can I ask for more? Just a little longer

Beautiful jewelry

Stop - Wait, that's strange

It's too dark to endure

I don’t understand the words, whether it’s about effort or pay

So, do you wanna let love delay too? - I get it, it’s numbingly real

Then suddenly, like a puff, a faint scent wafted in - Let’s indulge in that sweet allure, in romance

A fragile instinct hit suddenly, as everything fell apart - No stopping now, right?

But stop - Wait, this feels wrong

I can’t change this—everything’s just words

The two of us set out together

Right here

On a cruel stage, we can’t see anything

We dream again, but it’s all so empty, a meaningless party

Being pulled in without meaning

Wanna blur it all out - I’m always anxious about the future

Can’t even look into your eyes, babe

Ignite that romance

Trying to say goodbye

The two of us set out again

Right here

On a cruel stage, we can’t see anything

We dream again, but it’s all so empty, a meaningless party

Being pulled in without meaning

Wanna blur it all out - I’m always anxious about the future

Can’t even look into your eyes, babe

Ignite that romance

[Japanese]

可愛いため息で　思い出して

あの子の目はいい　甘い炎

all right 憧れてたﾛﾏﾝｽはmoney

all right ねだっていい?もっと

素敵なjewelry

stop 待って　おかしいな

耐えきれないほど 暗いよ

その具合も歩合も わかる言葉もなくtoday

そう君、愛も滞納したいの？ わかるよ痺れるね

それじゃあ千切れふわぁっと香った 甘い方の魅惑、ﾛﾏﾝｽをしよう　

崩れぐらぁっと襲った淡い本能 stopは無しでしょう？

だけどstop 待って　おかしいわ

私、変えきれない 事ばかり

2人ずれ出した

ここで

意地悪な　ｽﾃｰｼﾞで見えない

夢を描いてまた僕ら 虚しいﾊﾟｰﾃｨへ

意図もなく吸い込まれてく

あやふやにしたい 未来がいつでも不安だな

目も合わせられないよbabe

焚きつけよromance

別れ告げようと

2人ずれ出した

ここで

意地悪な　ｽﾃｰｼﾞで見えない

夢を描いてまた僕ら 虚しいﾊﾟｰﾃｨへ

意図もなく吸い込まれてく

あやふやにしたい 未来がいつでも不安だな

目も合わせられないよbabe

焚きつけよromance
