[English]

Escape to the Secret garden

Just you and me in this world

Time flies by in an instant

It’s our little secret

Behold, the Secret garden

For now, it’s just us in the world

Nobody’s gonna ruin this

It’s our little secret

I don’t need anything else

I just want to look at you

Drowning in love, fill me up completely

Is this not normal? Then what is normal?

I can only see you

You keep me in a daze all night

To the point of losing my mind

Everything feels so bright

No room for doubt

In this dried-up city

We turn our backs and find our oasis

Hurry, before they find us here

Escape to the Secret garden

Just you and me in this world

Time flies by in an instant

It’s our little secret

Behold, the Secret garden

For now, it’s just us in the world

Nobody’s gonna ruin this

It’s our little secret

Ain't nobody gotta know (Know)

Know (Know), know (Know), know (Know)

Know (Know), know (Know), know

Ain't nobody gotta know (Know)

Know (Know), know (Know), know (Know)

Know (Know), know (Know), know

Ain't nobody gotta know (Know)

Know (Know), know (Know), know (Know)

Know (Know), know (Know), know, know

Ain't nobody gotta know

Behold, the Secret garden

Swaying, intoxicated by the scent of linaria

“There’s no end, right?”

It’s too bright, I close my eyes

The day we loved each other becomes yesterday again

Will we meet again tomorrow?

Until we fall asleep, it’s just us

Even in dreams, I’ll catch you again

Ignoring the footsteps of the sun

Silencing the noise of the big city

Even if I know nothing’s certain

Crossing the unstable, crimson surface

Neon lights, flashlights, fly to the other side

I’ll come for you right away

Escape to the Secret garden

Just you and me in this world

Time flies by in an instant

It’s our little secret

Behold, the Secret garden

For now, it’s just us in the world

Nobody’s gonna ruin this

It’s our little secret

Ain't nobody gotta know (Know)

Know (Know), know (Know), know (Know)

Know (Know), know (Know), know

Ain't nobody gotta know (Know)

Know (Know), know (Know), know (Know)

Know (Know), know (Know), know

Ain't nobody gotta know (Know)

Know (Know), know (Know), know (Know)

Know (Know), know (Know), know, know

Ain't nobody gotta know

Behold, the Secret garden

Escape to the Secret garden

この世界で君と二人

時間が過ぎるあっという間に

誰にもナイショ

Behold, the Secret garden

今だけは世界に二人

邪魔させやしないNobody

誰にもナイショ

必要ない

君だけ見ていたい

溺れる毎日 目一杯にLove me

普通じゃない？ じゃあ普通って何？

君しか見えない

You keep me in a daze all night

狂いそうなくらい

Everything feels so bright

疑い様もない

乾き切った都会に

背を向けたOasis

ほら奴らがここを見つけ出す前に

Escape to the Secret garden

この世界で君と二人

Behold, the Secret garden

揺れて香ったリナリアに酔う

“終わりなんてないよね”

眩しすぎて目を閉じる

愛し合った今日がまた昨日になった

明日また会えるかな

眠りに落ちるまで 二人だけ

いや夢の中だって また捕まえる

太陽の足音もシカト

大都会の喧騒 黙らそう

当たり前なんて物無いってわかっていたって

不安定に渡ってる真っ赤なSurface

ネオンライト フラッシュライト 向こう側までFly

すぐ迎えに行く

Escape to the Secret garden

この世界で君と二人

時間が過ぎるあっという間に

誰にもナイショ

Behold, the Secret garden

今だけは世界に二人

邪魔させやしないNobody

誰にもナイショ
