Japanese
ヤワなハートがしびれる ここちよい針のシゲキ 理由もないのに輝く それだけが愛のしるし いつか あなたには すべて 打ち明けよう 少し強くなるために 壊れたボートで 一人 漕いで行く 夢の中でもわかる めくるめく夜の不思議
Romaji
yawana HEART ga shibireru kokochi yoi hari no shigeki wake mo nai no ni kagayaku sore dake ga ai no shirushi itsuka anata ni wa subete uchi akeyou sukoshi tsuyoku naru tame ni kowareta BOAT de hitori koide yuku yume no naka demo wakaru mekuru meku yoru no fushigi
English
A soft heart goes numb Comfortable stimulus of the needs It shines without reason That's the only sign of love Some day I will open my mind to you In order to become a little stronger I row a broken boat alone I can tell even in my dreams about the dazzling mysterious night
