English
I was told that being alone is just how reality is
I'm having trouble breathing, so poke an airhole in the sky
Get Your Freedom
"Tomorrow will be sunny" is nothing but a lie
What can you see if you only mutter things like that?
Sweet Rain began to fall
Illuminating the setting sun
Candy Shine
I'll let you close to me, Sweet Heart
Is that wrong?
Let's get going in this Sweet Rain
We won't need an umbrella
If this is all just a Sweet Dream I'm bewitched by,
Isn't that wrong?
The story began the moment we happened to meet
When I remember that, there's happiness in a crevice in my heart, Get Your Rainbow
"A world for just the two of us" is an old saying
But being able to say it is something I don't hate
Sweet Rain began to fall
Illuminating the setting sun
Candy Shine
I'll let you close to me, Sweet Heart
Is that wrong?
Let's get going in this Sweet Rain
We won't need an umbrella
If this is all just a Sweet Dream I'm bewitched by,
Isn't that wrong?
Sweet Rain began to fall
Illuminating the setting sun
Candy Shine
I'll let you close to me, Sweet Heart
Is that wrong?
Let's get going in this Sweet Rain
We won't need an umbrella
If this is all just a Sweet Dream I'm bewitched by,
Isn't that wrong?
