[English]

I want to do something that makes my heart race

It's okay if it's just our secret, just for me and you

What matters doesn't fade away, even if it's destiny

Whether it's a tragedy or a comedy

Because I love you, come here

That shooting star I saw that day

A dream come true sold out

Is life unfair?

I was getting downhearted about it all

Run, run

Sleep-deprived Amaryllis

Weekend performance begins

Dream tug-of-war

Learning words, learning hearts

Realized, oh, this is life

Being alone and bored too

Corrupted, yes, that’s also life

Met a dream, met you

The memories we've built

Are beautiful, incredible

They turn into spells

Swear, it's for a lifetime, forever

Healthy or sick, I’ve prepared for both

I want to do something that makes my heart race

It's okay if it's just our secret, just for me and you

What matters doesn't fade away, even if it's destiny

Whether it's a tragedy or a comedy

Because I will swallow it all, come here

What are you doing, what are you seeing, what are you thinking

Loving the days that float and sink

A completely white relationship

Growing with each passing day

Circling around

Living changing every way

Mixing, mixing

Chaos and madrigal

Skipping to thunder

If you mix with scarlet

Joy spreads from where to where

Where do sadnesses go from and to

Hoping to love a world without you, without anyone else

Wanting to be with you, wanting to see the world with you, over and over

...

It's fine to be all fluttered and noisy

It's okay if it's just our real selves

I want to do something that makes my heart race

It's okay if it's just our secret, just for me and you

What matters doesn't fade away, even if it's destiny

Whether it's a tragedy or a comedy

Because I will swallow it all, come here

What are you doing, what are you seeing, what are you thinking

Loving the days that float and sink

Wrapping up in a happy ending

Until that moment

...

[Japanese]

ドキドキすることをしていたいよ

僕だけの僕らだけの秘密でもいいよ

大切は消えないよ運命だろうと

悲劇だろうと喜劇だろうと

愛せるから来いよ

あの日見た流星

売り切れた正夢

不公平かな人生

やさぐれていた始末

走れ走れ

寝不足アマリリス

週末の開演

夢の綱引き

言葉を知って心を知って

気付いた ああ これこそが人生

独りになって退屈だって

腐った はい それもまた人生

夢に出会って 君と出会って

築いた僕らの記憶が

美しい凄まじい

呪文になっちゃって

誓って一生涯だよ一生涯

健やかも病める日も覚悟してんだ

ドキドキすることをしていたいよ

僕だけの僕らだけの秘密でもいいよ

大切は消えないよ運命だろうと

悲劇だろうと喜劇だろうと

飲み込むから来い

何をして何を見て何を考えて

浮いて沈む毎日を愛してゆく

真っ白な関係

日毎にカラーを抱く

巡り巡って

間取り変わる生活

混じれ混じれ

カオスとマドリガル

スキップして雷鳴

朱に交われば

喜びはどこからどこへ

悲しみはどこからどこへゆくの

君がいない君以外いない世界も愛せますようにと

君といたい君と見たい世界を何度でも何度でも

ドギマギするほどの暴騒でいいよ

僕だけの僕らだけの本当でもいいよ

ドキドキすることをしていたいよ

僕だけの僕らだけの秘密でもいいよ

大切は消えないよ運命だろうと

悲劇だろうと喜劇だろうと

飲み込むから来い

何をして何を見て何を考えて

浮いて沈む毎日を愛してゆく

ハッピーエンド結ぶ

その時まで
