Hitsuyou no nai puraido wa sutemashouLet’s toss away the pride that we just don’t need
Iya na kotta zenbu zenbu daiji na monoEven the messy parts are all so precious to me
Konna paati wa sassato nukedasouLet’s get out of this party as fast as we can
Maigo ni natte shimattara dou shiyouWhat should I do if I end up getting lost?
Tama ni wa chotto yasumimashoLet’s take a little break once in a while
Karappo na haato mitashimashoAnd fill up this heart that’s feeling so empty
Demo nanika tarinai no dou shitara iiBut something’s still missing, what should I do?
Mahou wa tokechatta noThe magic’s gone and faded away
Ano koro to nanimo kawaranaiNothing’s really changed since back then
Dare datte sonna mon ja naiIsn’t that just how it is for everyone?
Watashi wa watashi ni aisaretaiI just want to be loved by my own self
Tte omoetara ii n ja naiWouldn’t it be great if I could feel that way?
Ai e narae ai e naraeFollow the love, follow the love
Ai e narae ai e naraeFollow the love, follow the love
Ai e narae ai e naraeFollow the love, follow the love
Ai e narae ai e naraeFollow the love, follow the love
Yariba no nai taido de nagedasouLet’s throw it all away with a restless attitude
Iya na kotta zenbu zenbu watashi da monoBecause all those messy things are part of who I am
Iiyou no nai kanjou kowaresouThese wordless emotions feel like they’ll break
Otona ni natte shimattara kou na noIs this just what happens when you grow up?
Toki ni wa chotto naite mimashoLet’s try crying a little bit sometimes
Karakara na haato nurashite mite moEven if I try to soak this parched heart
Nanika tarinai no dou shitara iiSomething’s still missing, what should I do?
Mahou ga tokechatta yoThe magic’s gone and faded away
Ano koro to nanimo kawaranaiNothing’s really changed since back then
Dare datte sonna mon ja naiIsn’t that just how it is for everyone?
Watashi wa watashi ni aisaretaiI just want to be loved by my own self
Tte omoetara ii n ja naiWouldn’t it be great if I could feel that way?
Kimi to boku no aida ni aru hikiau kodoku no inryokuBetween you and me, there’s a gravity of shared loneliness pulling us close
Souzouryoku de sekai wa kawaru yoAnd the world will change through the power of imagination
Ano koro wa nanimo wakaranai dame daBack then, I thought I was useless and didn’t know a thing,
Tte omoikondeta iyaiyaI was just stuck in that negative mindset, no way
Watashi wa watashi ni nareta kanaI wonder if I’ve finally become myself
Sora o miagete akubi o shitaI looked up at the sky and let out a yawn
Ano koro to nanimo kawaranaiNothing’s really changed since back then
Dare datte sonna mon ja naiIsn’t that just how it is for everyone?
Watashi wa watashi ni aisaretaiI just want to be loved by my own self
Tte omoetara ii n ja naiWouldn’t it be great if I could feel that way?
Ai e narae ai e naraeFollow the love, follow the love
Ai e narae ai e naraeFollow the love, follow the love
Ai e narae ai e naraeFollow the love, follow the love
Ai e narae ai e naraeFollow the love, follow the love
Ai e narae ai e naraeFollow the love, follow the love
Ai e narae ai e naraeFollow the love, follow the love
Ai e narae ai e naraeFollow the love, follow the love
Ai e narae ai e naraeFollow the love, follow the love
