Japanese

こわがりのくせに飛びたがり
片目あけたままで　今日も　スリーパー
冬眠中のフリして続けさせて
甘い夢に　独り遊ぶわ

唐突に響く　チャイムに打たれて
あわて駆けよるドア　開いたら

Ping×Pong×Dash　＝　だれもそこには居ないわ
はぐらかされたかしら　タイミング
遠い笑い声で気付いた冷たさ
あしゆび　はだしのまま
空が眩しい。ついてけない。
でも　泣かないで　the Sleeper in my mind

負けないで　the Sleeper in my mind

English

I'm scared of the habit of wanting to fly, With one eye open, today I'm a sleeper Pretending to hibernate, I continue Having sweet dreams of playing alone Out of the blue, the chime struck And as I opened the door, I muttered in panic Ping x Pong x Dash = no, I'm not in the mood I wonder if I evaded - timing! I noticed the iciness in some distant laughter, And left my toes barefoot The sky is bright. But it's not about that. But I won't cry for the Sleeper in my mind It's second to none, the Sleeper in my mind!

Long Version

Japanese

こわがりのくせに飛びたがり　片目あけたままで　今日も　スリーパー 冬眠中のフリして続けさせて　甘い夢に　独り遊ぶわ 唐突に響く　チャイムに打たれて あわて駆けよるドア　開いたら Ping×Pong×Dash ＝ だれも　そこには居ないわ はぐらかされたかしら　タイミング 遠い笑い声で気付いた冷たさ　あしゆび　はだしのまま 空が眩しい。　ついてけない。 でも　泣かないで　the Sleeper in my mind 凹みやすいけど　知りたがり　コイゴコロ　毛布にくるむ　スリーパー ちょっと辛い　なのに性懲りもなく　苦いコトバ　巻き戻し中 足りないパーツを　確かめあえたら いちどくらい『好き』って　言いに行こう Ping×Pong×Dash ＝ だけど　お部屋は　からっぽ　 入れちがい　かなしいわ　タイミング 消えちゃう間際に　見つかる失せ物　満たされていたのにね 風が優しい。　ついてけない。 ねぇ　泣いてるの？　the Sleeper in my love ゆすっても　起きない　かたくまるまって 本当は　もう　ずうっと　起きてるの 唐突に響く　チャイムに打たれて あわて駆けよるドア　開いたら Ping×Pong×Dash ＝ だれも　そこには居ないわ はぐらかされたかしら　タイミング 遠い笑い声で気付いた冷たさ　あしゆび　はだしのまま 空が眩しい。　ついてけない。 でも　泣かないで　the Sleeper in my mind ∴負けないで　the Sleeper in my mind
