[English]

It’s not a big deal, baby

All the troubles, just throw them all away

If you toss them out, it’s all good, maybe

When you wake up, let’s go find only what’s invisible

It’s not tomorrow

I want to live in this moment, now only

It depends on you

...

I want to find out

...

I want you to know, I already am

...

Let’s loosen the secret and keep nothing hidden

Even if it’s not the right answer

...

It’s okay if you stay here

...

...

...

...

...

If it’s me, I want you to know now

...

Let’s open up and keep no secrets

Even if it’s not perfect

...

It’s fine if you stay here

...

It’s okay if you stay here

...

[Japanese]

It’s not a big deal, baby

面倒なことは全部

捨てちゃえば it’s all good, maybe

目覚めたら 見えないものだけを探しに行こう

明日じゃない

今だけの瞬間に生きていたい

あなた次第

Why not? It’s your life

確かめたい

'Cause I...

あなたに知られたい 私ならもう

Now...

内緒はほどいて秘密にしよう

正解じゃなくたって

my babe

ここにいればいい

my babe

You are the one who stay here with me

Don’t you know that you light up my life?

Lift your head up and I’ll just blow your mind

'Cause I...

あなたに知られたい私ならもう

Now...

内緒はほどいて秘密にしよう

正解じゃなくたって

my babe

ここにいればいい

my babe

ここにいればいい

my babe
