[English]

Dancing

In the darkness

Pink and lilac

Keep the silence

Crystals

On the skyline

Cut the midnight

Ultraviolet

You're the one who can make me stay

You're the only one who makes me feel this way

You're the one who's been stealing stars

Your golden arrow went through my heart

You're the one who can turn the page

You're the one who came along and unlocked the cage

Now I'm dancing in the dark

Flying

Through the black night

You're the angel

In the moonlight

Running

Through the thunder

Undercover

Silver lover

You're the one who can make me stay

You're the only one who makes me feel this way

You're the one who's been stealing stars

Your golden arrow went through my heart

You're the one who can turn the page

You're the one who came along and unlocked the cage

Now I'm dancing in the dark

You're the one who can make me stay

You're the only one who makes me feel this way

You're the one who's been stealing stars

Your golden arrow went through my heart

You're the one who can turn the page

You're the one who came along and unlocked the cage

Now I'm dancing in the dark

You're the one who can make me stay

You're the only one who makes me feel this way

You're the one who's been stealing stars

Your golden arrow went through my heart

You're the one who can turn the page

You're the one who came along and unlocked the cage

Now I'm dancing in the dark

Yeah, I'm dancing in the darkness

Three years before, I was feeling so heartless

But your burn shined through

Now I'm drinking love potion when I lay next to you

It's a criminal feeling

Happiness cries and my tears are dreaming

My body is screaming

I'm staying right here, no, I'll never be leaving
