| Japanese (日本語歌詞) | Romaji (ローマ字) |
|---|---|
| リスキーなフレーズを横目に | risukii na fureezu o yokome ni |
| 気づかぬように針打って | kizukanu you ni hari utte |
| ああだのこうだの言わす前に | aa da no kou da no iwasu mae ni |
| 貴方のことを知りたいのです | anata no koto o shiritai no desu |
| 純情なイメージを装い | junjou na imeeji o yosooi |
| 粋なクルマに飛び乗って | iki na kuruma ni tobinotte |
| 燦々と光る街を越えて | sansan to hikaru machi o koete |
| 貴方の元へ会いにゆくから | anata no moto e ai ni yuku kara |
| 動かんどいて | ugokandoite |
| 今 相対した感情 | ima aitai shita kanjou |
| いつものように | itsumo no you ni |
| 貴方を抱きしめたいと | anata o dakishimetai to |
| 思う 思う 思うよ | omou omou omou yo |
| 少しくらい傷付けたって | sukoshi kurai kizutsuketa tte |
| 曖昧なプライドを | aimai na puraido o |
| 引きずる程に | hikizuru hodo ni |
| 長くなった針が痛い | nagaku natta hari ga itai |
| 痛い 痛い 痛い 痛い | itai itai itai itai |

| 己の針の長さ分かればいい | onore no hari no nagasa wakareba ii |

Take a sideways glance at a risky phrase
Shooting needles at you so I'm not noticed
Even before letting you say this or that
All I want to do is know you more
Pretending to have a pure image
I'll jump into a stylish car and
Drive through the town full of flashy lights
I will be coming to see you, wherever you are
Don't you dare move from there
It's now those feelings in opposition
Just as always
"Wanna hold you close" is what
I wish, I wish, I wish, though
I've hurt you slightly
The more I drag over
That vague pride,
The more those grown-out spines are hurting me
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts,
It hurts, but, oh, I will tolerate that
Even those ordinary things boring to me
Hustle like how a hedgehog might do
Putting in effort with each and every move
All I want to do is just live for you
I'd fight on any stage that's unsafe
And jump onto those who get in my way
If I win, let me give you my victory
With these sweet words, just for today,
Won't you just shoot me out?
It's now those feelings in opposition
Just as always
"Wanna hold you close" is what
I wish, I wish, I wish, though
I've hurt you slightly
The more I shorten the imaginary
Distance by and by,
The more those pointy spines hurt me
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts,
It hurts because of the life of the two of us
As we get closer, even hurting much deeper
Not realizing the spines belong to you 'n' me
Eventually,
By the time we finally get worn out,
It's all right to realize how long our spines are
As we get closer, even hurting much deeper
Not realizing the spines belong to you 'n' me
Eventually,
By the time we finally get worn out,
It's all right to realize how long our spines are
It's now those feelings in opposition
Just as always
"Wanna hold you close" is what
I wish, I wish, I wish, though
I've hurt you slightly
The more I drag over
That vague pride,
The more those grown-out spines are hurting me
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts,
It hurts, but, oh, I will tolerate that
