Hey, it fits so snug and tight,
with a playful little charm,
and shyness is slipping away,
glowing sweet and bright!
Hey, it fits so snug and tight,
with a playful little charm,
and shyness is slipping away,
glowing sweet and bright!
Unfinished bonds from our past lives
have come close and clung right to me!
Hey mister, what's all this now?
Shall I circle around you every single day?
Shall I keep this girl safe inside my heart?
Shall I circle around you every single day?
Shall I keep this girl safe inside my heart?
Hey, it fits so snug and tight,

The scheme laid out to trap someone,
what has happened to it now?
Trapped together inside this cage,
it swings wildly out of control!
Even if we press close together,
this bond will never go bad.
Even if tested and beaten,
this pure gold will never lose its worth.
The sky and the earth have changed,
but you and I haven't changed at all!
Even if you crave it, such love can't just be found!
Unfinished bonds from our past lives
have come close and clung right to me!
Hey mister, what's all this now?
Shall I circle around you every single day?
Shall I keep this girl safe inside my heart?
It fits so snug and tight,
with a playful little charm,
and shyness is slipping away,
glowing sweet and bright!

The song of desire that was held back
has now broken completely free!
The blooming flower, little by little,
it keeps softly touching and teasing!
Even if kisses and sweet things are asked for,
no sound will ever be heard outside!
Even if people look all around us,
hey, nothing will feel wrong at all!
Soaring high up into the open sky, hey,
will you ever fall down while flying high?
Even to imagine it, that won't ever happen!
Unfinished bonds from our past lives
have come close and clung right to me!
Female: Hey mister, what's all this now?
Male: Shall I circle around you every single day?
Shall I keep this girl safe inside my heart?
It fits so snug and tight,
