Feelings are stuck in traffic now
Saying "It has nothing to do with me"
My heart’s colors turn white
But no matter how I try, it’s not balanced
Cheers to your mischievous smile
I don’t understand sweet or sour feelings
Surely I get lost in front of you
Melt away, rendezvous so sweet
Turning platonic, it’s changing
Bitter-sweet hope bursts open
So
If these are wandering, dreaming thoughts
Tell me, your voice
To you
Once I get dyed, once I get dyed
Let my heart play, don’t look away
I want to keep thinking, I want to keep thinking
Pink-colored heart forecast
Now
If we blend together
Overlay with you, our gazes meet in love
Romance won’t stop
If I fail, it’s bye-bye step
God, please be on my side today
Smile at your strange self
The upside-down world reveals itself
If it’s a dream, don’t wake up yet
My heart’s colors turn red
Remain calm and collected
No matter how hard I try
Mostly, I’m out of sight
A slightly late starry night
I want to say goodbye even to a terrible yesterday
Getting caught in a sweet spell
So
Cross this night
Make that feeling resonate
Once I get dyed by you
I want to only think of you
To you
Once I get dyed, once I get dyed
Let my heart play, don’t look away
I want to keep thinking, I want to keep thinking
Pink-colored heart forecast
Now
Just tell me, tell me
Overlay with you
Gaze meeting, love’s eye contact
If I fail, it’s bye-bye step
God, please be on my side today
