Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

ドキドキすることをしていたいよ

I want to do something that makes my heart race

僕だけの僕らだけの秘密でもいいよ

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

大切は消えないよ運命だろうと

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

悲劇だろうと喜劇だろうと

Whether it's a tragedy or a comedy

愛せるから来いよ

Because I love you, come here

あの日見た流星

That shooting star I saw that day

売り切れた正夢

A dream come true sold out

不公平かな人生

Is life unfair?

やさぐれていた始末

I was getting downhearted about it all

走れ走れ

Run, run

寝不足アマリリス

Sleep-deprived Amaryllis

週末の開演

Weekend performance begins

夢の綱引き

Dream tug-of-war

言葉を知って心を知って

Learning words, learning hearts

気付いた ああ これこそが人生

Realized, oh, this is life

独りになって退屈だって

Being alone and bored too

腐った はい それもまた人生

Corrupted, yes, that’s also life

夢に出会って 君と出会って

Met a dream, met you

築いた僕らの記憶が

The memories we've built

美しい凄まじい

Are beautiful, incredible

呪文になっちゃって

They turn into spells

誓って一生涯だよ一生涯

Swear, it's for a lifetime, forever

健やかも病める日も覚悟してんだ

Healthy or sick, I’ve prepared for both

ドキドキすることをしていたいよ

I want to do something that makes my heart race

僕だけの僕らだけの秘密でもいいよ

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

大切は消えないよ運命だろうと

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

悲劇だろうと喜劇だろうと

Whether it's a tragedy or a comedy

飲み込むから来い

Because I will swallow it all, come here

何をして何を見て何を考えて

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

浮いて沈む毎日を愛してゆく

Loving the days that float and sink

真っ白な関係

A completely white relationship

日毎にカラーを抱く

Growing with each passing day

巡り巡って

Circling around

間取り変わる生活

Living changing every way

混じれ混じれ

Mixing, mixing

カオスとマドリガル

Chaos and madrigal

スキップして雷鳴

Skipping to thunder

朱に交われば

If you mix with scarlet

喜びはどこからどこへ

Joy spreads from where to where

悲しみはどこからどこへゆくの

Where do sadnesses go from and to

君がいない君以外いない世界も愛せますようにと

Hoping to love a world without you, without anyone else

君といたい君と見たい世界を何度でも何度でも

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

...

...

ドギマギするほどの暴騒でいいよ

It's fine to be all fluttered and noisy

僕だけの僕らだけの本当でもいいよ

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

ドキドキすることをしていたいよ

I want to do something that makes my heart race

僕だけの僕らだけの秘密でもいいよ

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

大切は消えないよ運命だろうと

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

悲劇だろうと喜劇だろうと

Whether it's a tragedy or a comedy

飲み込むから来い

Because I will swallow it all, come here

何をして何を見て何を考えて

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

浮いて沈む毎日を愛してゆく

Loving the days that float and sink

ハッピーエンド結ぶ

Wrapping up in a happy ending

その時まで

Until that moment

...
