Mm.. I went crazy in your gaze
In your words, I became a complete sentence
I watched your shyness in wonder
And lost myself
Coming like a wave of memories,
you are the one who soaked my heart.
Because of you, I changed my youthful pride.
You, who was just another girl,
I have now fallen in love with today.
Just by getting to know you,
I became a hidden presence inside you.
As music played through every nerve,
I leaped with joy.
La la laila lailai lae
La la lailai lae
Lai la lai lai lae lai la lai lai lae lailalae
Hey.. I went crazy in your gaze
In your words, I became a complete sentence
I watched your shyness in wonder
And lost myself
Haan, what is this... what is this?
That which your silence speaks,
these unwritten sounds,
how can I explain what they mean?
Is it that? Male: Mmm...
Is it that? Male: Mmm...
For words left unspoken,
for words that do not exist,
there are so many meanings!
I am your female friend,
you are my male friend,
and our love will live within our friendship.
I am a man's desire,
you are a woman's desire,
and our desires are pure greed!
La la laila lailai lae
La la lailai lae
Lai la lai lai lae lai la lai lai lae lailalae
I went crazy in your gaze
In your words, I became a complete sentence
I watched your shyness in wonder
And lost myself
Because I am near you,
unknown to the night,
and unseen by the day,
you showed me a whole new time of day.
Because you are inside my heart,
even while I sleep,
you stay awake inside me,
stirring within my chest.
You are the mirror,
I am the clock,
I will live running non-stop inside you.
Male: A letter called love,
you are that letter,
and I sign off as "Yours with love, forever."
