Let's go out! Open my mind
Let's go! Sweet dream other side
Now, I release it outside its cage
Rusted keys, beats that have stopped resounding
I was realizing "I can't return anymore"
The lost days (Hey baby why?)
are going to be connected immaturely (I want to cry...)
I don't want to lose to my fearful self
I won't run away from my fate, "I'm not alone"
I'll be by your side
no matter how sad a dream it is, I don't mind
I want to be touched by your tears... baby
I pray... "believe"
Tear the darkness of your cold memories to pieces
Injured wings, relaxing springs
I don't understand the means of plunging in
Boring places, irritation and anxiety
Even today, we're still troubled, but...
Look up at the dark sky (Baby... for you)
Advance, lift your face (I'm here for you)
Pack your persistent thoughts into a suitcase
Step forward, shake off the darkness of your heart
If you become sad from the condemning sound of rain
I will become a shield for the kind you
Don't stop believing, always,
I pray...in your eyes
a small miracle will be reflected
Ah... ah... ah... ah...
(Hey baby why?... I want to cry... Hey baby why?
Hey baby why?... I want to cry...
I'm here for you... yeah...! Believe yourself)
I'll be by your side
no matter how sad a dream that place is in, I don't mind
I want to live the same moments with U...
I pray... "answer me"
If it is allowed
I want to be touched by your tears... baby
I pray... "believe"
Tear the darkness of your cold memories to pieces
