[English]

Must be something in the water

Feel like I can take the world

Throw the weight up on my shoulders

Cause I won't even feel the burn

Don't be afraid to dive

Be afraid that you didn't try

These moments remind us why

We're here, we're so alive

Let's live like we're immortal

Live just for tonight

We'll think about tomorrow, yeah

When the sun comes up

Cause by this time tomorrow

We'll be talking about tonight

Keep doing what we want, we want, we want

No more wasted nights

...

ただ過ぎゆく時間に気を留める必要はない

...

何かを失えば、また何か手にする

...

Don't be afraid to dive

何もせずはもっと怖い

These moments remind us why
