[English]

Loading can't move these days

My lady, elegance isn't my style

Morning, just feeling high

During the day, dreaming faint dreams

Hey, I'm rushing out tonight

A day filled with love

Quietly, just the two of us

Anyway, it's just a reckless story at the desk

No one cares, like no one notices

Goodnight, baby

In this faint dream, in this faint dream

The city’s lights are shining without you noticing

It's a little more crowded than usual

Thinking about that, in the mirror I see

Nothing's changing, ah, how silly I am

Goodnight, sleepy, words of good morning

Just dreaming, thinking about it

Covering these deep feelings

Feel you, I really care about you, ahh

Sweetly melting snow jam

A snow jam that fills you up

Snow jam, snow jam

Snow jam, snow jam

Thoughts looping more than ever

Heavy steps toward that town

Will I really come? Is it not a lie?

These silly worries race through my mind

Everyone’s playing love on their phones

Modern lover, neo-net yankee

Usually, “You’re so great,” I want to hear that

So I go to see you

Today, I even toasted perfectly

Tied my shoelaces from the left

Locked the house keys properly

Uncertain if I turned off the kotatsu

Somehow, feelings of love overflow

Since the day I learned I liked you

I've never forgotten, or can’t forget

Even if I'm foolish, I want to tell you this feeling

Goodnight, sleepy, words of good morning

Just dreaming, thinking about it

Cover these intense feelings

Feel you, I really care about you

Sweetly melting snow jam

A snow jam that fills you up

Snow jam, snow jam

Snow jam, snow jam, ahh

Goodnight, sleepy, words of good night

Just dreaming, thinking about it

Intense feelings overflow

Feel you, I really care about you, ahh

Sweetly melting snow jam

A snow jam that fills you up

Snow jam, snow jam

Snow jam, snow jam

During the day, dreaming faint dreams

Hey, tonight I’m rushing out

A day filled with love

Quietly, just the two of us

Loading で進まない毎日

上品が似合わない my lady

Morning ただただうわついて

日中も淡い夢を見る

ねぇ 今夜は急いで行く

愛情に満たされる日

二人静かに

どうせ奥手ろくでなしの机上の story

なんて誰も気にしないように

Goodnight baby

淡い夢の中 淡い夢の中だよ

街は気づけば光で満ちてるし

いつもより少し人で混んでるし

って思ってみた鏡の中の自分なら

変わらない ああバカみたいだな

Goodnight sleepy おはようの言葉を

考えてはただ夢を見て

濃い濃度の想いに蓋をして

Feel you, I really care about you, ahh

甘く溶ける snow jam

君を満たすsnow jam

Snow jam, snow jam

Snow jam, snow jam

Loop する考えはいつも以上で

あの街までの足取り重くて

本当に来るかな うそじゃないのかな

って余計な心配が駆け巡る

皆は携帯片手に愛を奏でてる

現代的 lover ネオネットヤンキー

いつもはね だけど素敵ねって

会って言われたいから会いに行くのさ

今日は上手くトーストも焼けたしさ

靴紐左から結んだしさ

家の鍵もきちんと閉めたんだ

コタツを消したかは不安だけど

なんとなく好きな気持ち溢れた

君のこと好きだと知った日から

忘れたことないってか忘れられない

バカでもいいこの想いは伝えたいから

Goodnight, sleepy おはようの言葉を

考えてはただ夢を見て

濃い濃度の想いに蓋をして

Feel you, I really care about you

甘く溶ける snow jam

君を満たす snow jam

Snow jam, snow jam

Snow jam, snow jam, ahh

Goodnight, sleepy おやすみの言葉を

考えてはただ夢を見て

濃い濃度の想いが溢れ出て

Feel you, I really care about you, ahh

甘く溶ける snow jam

君を満たす snow jam

Snow jam, snow jam

Snow jam, snow jam
