1.No matter the time,
2.I’ve lived alone,
3.Forgetting fate,
4.But suddenly,
5.I wake up in a light
6.In the middle of the night.7.
8.I stand quietly at the exit,
9.Shooting light into the darkness.10.
11.Nowadays, promises might just make us uneasy,
12.I just want to speak my wish aloud.
13.I’ll introduce you to my family,
14.I’m sure everything will go well.15.
16.No matter the time,
17.We’ll always be together.
18.No matter the time,
19.I’ll be by your side.
20.The light that is you will find me,
21.In the middle of the night.22.
23.I step into the noisy street,
24.Take off the mask of fate.25.
26.Stop overthinking, it’s meaningless,
27.Let’s eat something delicious today.
28.The future is far ahead,
29.I don’t even know it myself.30.
31.Don’t finish it,
32.Make it better.
33.Let’s shoot one scene at a time,
34.That’s how we should go.
35.The light that is you
36.Reflects my script.37.
38.Let’s talk more,
39.About tomorrow, too.
40.Turn off the TV,
41.And just look at me.42.
43.No matter how good it is,
44.It’s hard to fully believe.
45.Even at such times,
46.I’ll be by your side.
47.The light that is you will find me,
48.In the middle of the night.49.
50.Let’s talk more,
51.About tomorrow, too.
52.Turn off the TV,
53.And just look at me.
