[English]

Stars fall between blinks

In this boring room, what time is it now?

No dreams or worries worth talking about

But tonight, don’t leave me

It feels like the day of our beginning

On this peaceful earth, just the two of us

We celebrated the end of the world

Raise a glass to the darkness

Hey hey, look at you girl, look at you girl

You, terra boy, terra boy

Hey hey, look at you girl, look at you girl

You, terra boy, terra boy

Hey hey, look at you girl, look at you girl

You, terra boy, terra boy

Hey hey, look at you girl, look at you girl

You, terra boy, terra boy

Yeah, we meet again on this planet

Along the Silk Road, we're tied together

Getting carried away, lost in time, tonight’s revealed

Hate it, but we're along Chazawa Street

Twilight, give me the continuation of my dream

Hiding truths, but it's alright

I want to hold you, because no one else will do

Too close, yet distant—outsiders alike

If we're bound to perish anyway, I'd rather be together

Moonlight spilling through the window

It's so beautiful, it makes me want to cry

Hey hey, look at you girl, look at you girl

You, terra boy, terra boy

Hey hey, look at you girl, look at you girl

You are the last boy, terra boy

Hey hey, look at you girl, look at you girl

You, terra boy, terra boy

Hey hey, look at you girl, look at you girl

You, terra boy, terra boy

Hey hey, look at you girl, look at you girl

You, terra boy, terra boy

Hey hey, look at you girl, look at you girl

You, terra boy, terra boy

Holding hands between blinks

Please, don’t leave me just for now

[Japanese]

まばたきのあいだに星が降る

退屈な部屋 今って何時くらい？

語るほどの夢も悩みもない

でも今夜は離れないで

始まりの⽇みたいだ

寝静まった この地上で僕ら ⼆⼈だけ

終わりの⽇を祝福した

闇にグラスを傾け

ヘイヘイ ルキルキガール ルキルキガール

Yeah 巡り逢う on the planet

シルクロード沿い 僕らは結ばれ

浮かれ 時間に流され 明かされる今宵

⽣憎 ここは茶沢通り沿い

Twilight 夢の続き頂戴

騙し騙しで Alright

君じゃなきゃダメだって抱きしめたいんだ

近すぎて遠い ハグレモノ同⼠

どうせ滅びるなら⼀緒がいい

窓から漏れる⽉明かり

泣きたいくらい綺麗だ
