Are are nande kou natta hanashi ga doumo ikkaitenWait, wait, how’d it end up like this, the conversation’s done a full 360
Okashiku natte sou nan da oshiete nee ttebaThings’ve definitely gotten weird, so come on, tell me what’s up,
Karekore zutto heikousen karamiatta joukyou waWe’ve been on parallel lines for so long now, this tangled-up situation,
Ariadone no meikyuu ka sentakusou no ron T kaIs it ‘Ariadne’s Labyrinth’ or just a long-sleeved shirt stuck in the washing machine?
Nottennara tomaren wa nande dokka zureten daOnce I’m on a roll I can’t stop, so why’s everything slightly out of sync?
Ittetatte shiyou ga nee n da dou yattara token daComplaining won’t do any good, how can I untie this knot?
Anata no tame ni tsutaeru no sa anata wa naname ni warau no saI’m telling you this for your sake, but you just give me a crooked smile,
Bokura wa kitto mayowanai you ni kokoro o gutto musubu n daWe’ll tie our hearts together tight so we don’t lose our way.
Soredemo motto yorisoenai nara chigirechimatte oteage saIf we still can’t get any closer, then we’ll just fall apart and I’ll give up

Are are nande sou natta hachikiresou na kyoukaisenWait, wait, why’d it go that way, this boundary line’s about to burst
Seorii toka rikutsu dake no hanashi ja doumo kuuchuusenTalking only about theories and logic just turns into a mid-air dogfight
Nottennara tomaren wa nanben datte hajimen daOnce I’m on a roll I can’t stop, I’ll start over as many times as it takes
Genkai nante shiranee n da ittentoppa matta nee n daI don’t know what limits are, I’m breaking through and there’s no waiting
Mahou no ranpu wa nai keredo deaeta koto ga subete na no saWe don’t have a magic lamp, but the fact that we met is everything
Bokura wa kitto waraiau tabi ni kiseki o fuwatto okosu n daEvery time we laugh together, we’re making a little miracle happen
