I know what you're going through
And I ain't the one to comfort you
But I do, 'cause I need it too
タイム・リミットに怯えているようじゃ
If you're trembling at the time limit,
頼れないよ
You can't rely on me
焦り Oh 感じさせたら決まり
If you make me feel rushed, that's the end
さあ はじまりはじまり
Alright, let the show begin
仮に今しか言えない言葉があるとしたら
Suppose there are words I can only say now,

Maybe the voice to share them is mine, you know?
新しいものが大好きな私達は
We, who love new things, are
飽き易いから
Because I get bored easily
この気持ちも早く君が食べないと
If you don't consume these feelings soon, my dear.
冷めてしまう
It cools down
賞味期限の過ぎた後の
After the expiration date has passed
恋の味を知りたいなら
If you want to know the taste of love
他の誰かと二人でオーダーしてよ
Order for two with someone else, please.
Because I'm not paying
遅れずに来て
Come without delay
そして迷わずに居て
So stay without hesitation
次の電車が通る前に
Before the next train passes by
電話が来なかったら...
If the phone didn't ring...
仮に何事にも終わりが訪れるとしたら
If there were to be an end to everything that exists
尚更"今"を愛せる気がするよ
I feel like I can love this 'now' even more.
新しいものが大好きな私達は
We, who love all things new,
飽き易いから
Because I'm easily bored
そろそろ成果が現れ始めなきゃ
It's about time the results start to show.
やめてしまう
I will put an end to it
賞味期限の過ぎた後の
After the expiration date has passed
夢の味は苦めですか
Does the taste of dreams come with a bitter touch?
そうなる前に投げ出そうとはしないで
Don't throw it all away before it even begins.
That's not what I'm saying
I know what you're going through
And I ain't the one to comfort you
But I do, 'cause I need it too
タイム・リミットに怯えているようじゃ
If you're trembling in fear of the time limit
頼れないよ
I can't count on you
傷つき易いまま
Staying fragile as you are
オトナになったっていいじゃないか
Is it not okay to grow up after all?
タイム・リミットの無いがんばりなんて
Endless efforts with no time limit
続かないよ
Just can't go on like that
