[English]

When a hollow, empty night comes,

I call out to you again like this

Yeah I’m lost, can I come over

I just wanna say I’m sorry

I just hate myself like this

Yeah I’m lost, can I come over

Baby, don’t do me like that

Such a long time has passed already

After that day that separated us,

each other’s stories—why don’t we put those behind us?

I’m sorry, I’m a little late [fanchant: ANIIII!!!]

You’ve been doing well without any troubles, right?

We, starting again,

let us never part away again

When a hollow, empty night comes,

I call out to you again like this

Yeah I’m lost, can I come over

I just wanna say I’m sorry

I just hate myself like this

Yeah I’m lost, can I come over

You’ll never love me like the way you did before

But would you open up if I knocked on your door

Knock knock Knockin’ on your door

My blood on the floor

Just checkin’ on your door

(What the hell am I doin’ this for?)

You act like

Done with past life

Then you pass like

Dust in a flashlight

Smoke in black night

We so dead, right?

But I hate metaphors

When a hollow, empty night comes,

I call out to you again like this

Yeah I’m lost, can I come over

I just wanna say I’m sorry

I just hate myself like this

Yeah I’m lost, can I come over

You’ll never love me like the way you did before

But would you open up if I knocked on your door

I knock on my heart, as if I want the world to see, right now

Life, all mixed-up and confused, just standing at the edge of a cliff

I don’t care if I suffer in pain and cry again, can I, I?

If it’s for you, I don’t mind anything, my savior

Even if it’s so sharp that I get cut, that too is my page

I’m past the pain, maybe this is the reason why I fought myself every day

Yeah, a rover that has found the answer, I row

Can I come over, o-over

‘Cause it’s not over
