[English]

Let's make up for everything we're lacking, everything we've missed.

Oh yeah.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

We were happy just to draw a picture.

That's the scale we're on. I don't think we can

save the whole world.

I can't find it. I just can't find it.

Where is the real me? Like a Frankenstein...

[Music]

It's okay to sing like this, isn't it? That's wonderful too.

Hey,

[Music]

Let's make up for everything we're lacking. Even if it's just scraps,

even if it's dirty, if we spread it out, we can fly.

We can soar high, I swear.

I want to tell you, I want to reach you. Not perfectly, not beautifully,

but just as I am, raw and exposed.

Hold me close, just as I am, covered in scars.

[Music]

Let's laugh.

Even if we're just patched together, let's laugh.

[Music]

のにない足りない全物しようぜ。物だっ

[音楽]て汚れてたって広げりゃ飛んでは

張って行けた取り誓[音楽]

て伝えて伝えたい上手じゃなくてき麗い

じゃなくてむき出しすぎ[音楽]

ちゃった僕傷だらけのまま抱抱きしめて

[音楽]

笑おう

次はハぎだって。笑おうぜ。[音楽]

[音楽]
