[English]

I remembered

The moment in a parallel world

No, I was definitely late that day...

When I woke up

You are me and I am you

Such a classic story

Are you really awake?!!

I'm fine, I'm quite handsome

Living socially on the side

Waking up for work at 3 every day (3 AM?!)

By the way, what's your name?

I'm not joking, I really mean it

Give me back my body

No way, no way, just wait a moment

Let's teach each other about ourselves

Stop saying "I" like that!

Let's reset everything here and start over

The beginning of a miracle, in the midst of a dream

The world isn't as bad as I thought

I accepted it, somehow

Now hold your breath

Enjoy it

Get into it

Look, a life just like the manual, bye bye

No, no, no

Don't let your guard down

That's our secret phrase

Even though I said it so many times

You got dumped by your boyfriend?!

Well, who cares about that guy

I'm a hundred times cooler, right?

By the way, what about that love triangle

Did it get resolved?

The trendy cosmetics everyone is talking about

Looking cuter than before, putting on makeup

Surprisingly, I'm quite charming

But it's a hassle, so I leave it on read

It's not normal, I'm fed up

Give me back my body

In the first place, not even for a moment

Do you think I can go back?

Getting carried away and spinning in circles

It's not funny!

Okay, let's repeat it one more time, let's burst out

In the center of a miracle, a dream pattern

The world isn't as round as I thought

I had forgotten, one day

Everyone changes all at once

Let's savor it

Getting excited

Look, a casual life, bye bye

A series of secrets, lost in a trance

The tricks of fate won't stop

Two opposites meeting

The contrarian is spurring it on again, No! No! No!

The beginning of a miracle, in the midst of a dream

The world isn't as bad as I thought

I accepted it, somehow

Now hold your breath

Enjoy it

A series of thrilling moments

It's a game, right?

Everyone changes all at once

Let's savor it

Get into it

Look, a life just like the manual, bye bye

No, no, no

...

[Japanese]

思い出したんだ

パラレルワールドの瞬間

いや、確かあの日は遅刻していて...

目が覚めたなら

君は僕で僕は君

こんな王道の話

本気で起きてるって？！！

オレなら平気 割とイケメンで

それとなりに社交的に生きて

仕事は毎日3時に起きて(3時？！)

ところで君の名前は？

冗談じゃない まっぴらだって

私の体返して

無理無理だって 一旦待って

互いの事を教えよう

オレとか言っちゃうのはやめてよね！

全部ここでリセット はじめよう

奇跡の幕開け夢の途中

世界は思うほど悪くはない

受け入れたんだいつの間にか

今息潜め

楽しめよ

なりきって

ほら マニュアル通りの人生bye bye

ノンノンノン

油断禁物が

私達の合言葉だって

あれだけ散々言ったのに

彼氏に振られたって？！

まぁいいじゃんあんなヤツ

オレのが100倍イケてるだろ

それよりあの三角関係

解決したんだっけ？

巷じゃすっかり話題のコスメ

前より可愛いくメイクもキメて

案外器用にモテるんすけど

めんどいから既読スルー

尋常じゃない うんざりだって

私の体返して

そもそもだって 一瞬だって

戻れる気配ないだろー？

調子ん乗って空回りは

笑えない！

オッケもっかいリピート 弾けよう

奇跡の真ん中夢模様

世界は思うほど丸くはない

忘れてたんだいつの日にか

皆一気に変え

味しめよう

張り切って

ほら カジュアルまがいの人生bye bye

秘密の連続無我夢中

運命のイタズラが止まらない

正反対の2人出会い

あまのじゃくがまた拍車をかけて No！ No！ No！

奇跡の幕開け夢の途中

世界は思うほど悪くはない

受け入れたんだいつの間にか

今息潜め

楽しめよ

刺激的な連続

ゲームだろ

皆一気に変え

味しめよう

なりきって

ほら マニュアル通りの人生bye bye

ノンノンノン
