[English]

Baby, an Untouchable love

In an instant, I was captivated, entering an uncontrollable state

From my eyes down to my toes, it spreads through you

Thoughts I can't hold back keep pounding at my heart

Sending signals that won't stop ringing

I realized this is love

Now, if I avert my gaze, was it all just a illusion?

I don't want to be trapped by regret—First sight

Untouchable love

My mind is under your control

I want to lock you inside my eyes too

Unstoppable desire

It's okay to be led by it

Once we figure out the answer, it might just disappear

Untouchable love

Feeling high because of you

My heart races, and my consciousness is falling

I can't grasp the up, down, front, or back

We're going down, a secret time

Deepen your feelings for me more and more—Let me know

Since that day, everyday life became meaningless

Craving the forbidden is intense—it’s a full-blown obsession, deep baby

I can't turn back now—it's a fateful deal

I want to believe—it’s not just a silly doubt

The fact that we're separated—that's the reality

Like a bad dream, this violent pain

Untouchable love

I can't keep pretending to be calm

The more I wish to see you, the more twisted fate becomes

What should I do?

I just want to hold you close

If this is a test, I’ll just overcome it

Untouchable love

Repeated flashbacks

If I stay like this, I can't move to the next scene

Every film has its ending

So, we haven't even truly begun

There’s no end in sight

Untouchable love

Yeah

I still haven't said it

Baby, come with me

Untouchable love, let's go

Replaying in my mind again

I want to look into those eyes once more

Don’t stop, Desire

I have to tell you how I feel

Confirm the answer, with your voice

Untouchable love

(I’ll never let you go, I swear, so let’s start from here)

I’ll never let you go, I’ll take you through any future

I’ll never let you go, I want to see our next chapter

I’ll never let you go, I want to touch you more deeply, with you

Untouchable love

[Japanese]

Baby, Untouchable love

一瞬で魅せられて 制御不能な状態

目からつま先まで 行き渡るんだ You

抑えようのない思考が 心臓めがけて

鳴らし続けるサイン

これが恋だって 知った

今 目を逸らせば 気のせいだった？

後悔に絆されたくない First sight

Untouchable love

支配下に置かれた 脳内

僕もキミを目の奥に 閉じ込めたいよ

止まらない Desire

踊らされていたっていい

答え合わせしたらもう 消えちゃいそうだ

Untouchable love

ハイになる Cuz you

心拍数が上昇 意識は落下中

上下前後 把握できない

We’re going down 秘密の時間

もっとキミを深く深く Let me know

あの日を境に 日常 どうでもいい

禁断症状が ハンパない どハマり Deep baby

もう後に退けない 運命の Deal

信じていたい 気の迷いなんかじゃない

離れているという 現実自体

悪い夢でも見てるような Violent pain

Untouchable love

平静を装っていられない

会いたいと願うほど歪む 天邪鬼な Fate

どうすればいいんだ

ただキミを 抱き寄せたい

試されているというなら 乗り越えるだけ

Untouchable love

繰り返されるフラッシュバック

今のままじゃ まだ 次のシーンへ進めない

どんな映画にも結末がある

ならば僕らは 始まっていない

終わりもしない

Untouchable love

Yeah

まだ言えてない

Baby, Come with me

Untouchable love Let’s go

再生を始めていく 脳内

もう一度その目の奥を 見つめたいんだよ

止めるな Desire

想い 伝えなきゃいけない

答え合わせをしてくれ キミの声で

Untouchable love

(I’ll never let you go 誓うから ここから始めよう

I’ll never let you go どんな未来でも連れていくよ

I’ll never let you go 見てみたい 僕らの続きを

I’ll never let you go 触れ合いたい もっと深く キミと)
