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
頼れないよ

焦り 感じさせたら決まり
さあ はじまりはじまり

仮に今しか言えない言葉があるとしたら
それを聞かせる声が私かもよ

新しいものが大好きな私達は
飽き易いから
この気持ちも早く君が食べないと
冷めてしまう

賞味期限の過ぎた後の恋の味を知りたいなら
他の誰かと二人でオーダーしてよ
Because I'm not paying

遅れずに来て
そして迷わずに居て
次の電車が通る前に
電話が来なかったら ah

仮に何事にも終わりが訪れるとしたら
尚更「今」を愛せる気がするよ

新しいものが大好きな私達は
飽き易いから
そろそろ成果が現れ始めなきゃ
やめてしまう

賞味期限の過ぎた後の夢の味は苦めですか
そうなる前に投げ出そうとはしないで
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
頼れないよ

傷つき易いままオトナになったって
いいじゃないか
タイム・リミットの無いがんばりなんて
続かないよ
