Summer Madness – Bilingual Lyrics Japanese/English
Lyrics & Translation
Sets behind the clouds as it sinks away at sunset
Is it a dream or a illusion? It's so blurry, like a midsummer day's reverie
History starts to move, hey
Living in a fantasy
Let's slip away before the night notices
A never-ending dream
Droplets bouncing on the shoreline
A magic hour, like casting a spell
Living in a fantasy
Tonight, just us...
Colors, ambiance, feelings, andSound
Surely, with your phone’s camera
It can't really capture the view that's so vivid
There’s so much of this in the world
It's summer madness...
Time moves so fast, turning moments into memories
We keep running through it all
Burning everything into our minds
Just like we're living in fantasy
Tonight, just us...
Flying through the night sky, clouds torn apart
Like a bird that flies without leaving a trace
With a speed that fills the gaps between blinking
Accelerating everything
It's summer madness...
That fleeting moment, bursting out like a starry meteor, playful and bright
Like a dream from a summer night, a feeling that's a bit uncertain
Colors, ambiance, feelings, and sound
They're only things you find here
If we don't miss these moments and keep stacking them, with friends like this...
It's summer madness...
