Japanese (日本語歌詞) 	Romaji (ローマ字)
リスキーなフレーズを横目に 	risukii na fureezu o yokome ni
気づかぬように針打って 	kizukanu you ni hari utte
ああだのこうだの言わす前に 	aa da no kou da no iwasu mae ni
貴方のことを知りたいのです 	anata no koto o shiritai no desu
 	
純情なイメージを装い 	junjou na imeeji o yosooi
粋なクルマに飛び乗って 	iki na kuruma ni tobinotte
燦々と光る街を越えて 	sansan to hikaru machi o koete
貴方の元へ会いにゆくから 	anata no moto e ai ni yuku kara
動かんどいて 	ugokandoite
 	
今　相対した感情 	ima aitai shita kanjou
いつものように 	itsumo no you ni
貴方を抱きしめたいと 	anata o dakishimetai to
思う　思う　思うよ 	omou omou omou yo
少しくらい傷付けたって 	sukoshi kurai kizutsuketa tte
曖昧なプライドを 	aimai na puraido o
引きずる程に 	hikizuru hodo ni
長くなった針が痛い 	nagaku natta hari ga itai
痛い　痛い　痛い　痛い　 	itai itai itai itai
痛いけど　耐えるから 	itai kedo taeru kara
 	
日常のつまんないことも 	nichijou no tsumannai koto mo
針鼠だけに張り切って 	harinezumi dake ni harikitte
一挙手一投足に懸命 	ikkyoshu ittousoku ni kenmei
貴方の為に生きたいのです 	anata no tame ni ikitai no desu
 	
物騒なステージで闘う 	bussou na suteeji de tatakau
邪魔な奴らに飛び掛かって 	jama na yatsura ni tobigakatte
勝てたら優勝譲りたいわ 	katetara yuushou yuzuritai wa
今日だけこのまま甘い言葉で 	kyou dake kono mama amai kotoba de
撃ち抜いとくれ 	uchinuito kure
 	
今　相対した感情 	ima aitai shita kanjou
いつものように 	itsumo no you ni
貴方を抱きしめたいと 	anata o dakishimetai to
思う　思う　思うよ 	omou omou omou yo
少しくらい傷付けたって 	sukoshi kurai kizutsuketa tte
心象的距離を 	shinshouteki kyori o
縮める程に 	chijimeru hodo ni
鋭くなった針が痛い 	surudoku natta hari ga itai
痛い　痛い　痛い　痛い　 	itai itai itai itai
痛いのは　二人の生だ 	itai no wa futari no sei da
 	
近付くほど傷付け合う二人 	chikazuku hodo kizutsukeau futari
互いの針に気付けない故に 	tagai no hari ni kizukenai yue ni
eventually 	
ボロボロになった頃に 	boroboro ni natta koro ni
己の針の長さ分かればいい 	onore no hari no nagasa wakareba ii
近付くほど傷付け合う二人 	chikazuku hodo kizutsukeau futari

|-|Official English lyrics =
Take a sideways glance at a risky phrase
Shooting needles at you so I'm not noticed
Even before letting you say this or that
All I want to do is know you more
Pretending to have a pure image
I'll jump into a stylish car and
Drive through the town full of flashy lights
I will be coming to see you, wherever you are
Don't you dare move from there
It's now those feelings in opposition
Just as always
"Wanna hold you close" is what
I wish, I wish, I wish, though
I've hurt you slightly
The more I drag over
That vague pride,
The more those grown-out spines are hurting me
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts,
It hurts, but, oh, I will tolerate that
Even those ordinary things boring to me
Hustle like how a hedgehog might do
Putting in effort with each and every move
All I want to do is just live for you
I'd fight on any stage that's unsafe
And jump onto those who get in my way
If I win, let me give you my victory
With these sweet words, just for today,
Won't you just shoot me out?
It's now those feelings in opposition
Just as always
"Wanna hold you close" is what
I wish, I wish, I wish, though
I've hurt you slightly
The more I shorten the imaginary
Distance by and by,
The more those pointy spines hurt me
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts,
It hurts because of the life of the two of us
As we get closer, even hurting much deeper
Not realizing the spines belong to you 'n' me
Eventually,
By the time we finally get worn out,
It's all right to realize how long our spines are
As we get closer, even hurting much deeper
Not realizing the spines belong to you 'n' me
Eventually,
By the time we finally get worn out,
It's all right to realize how long our spines are
It's now those feelings in opposition
Just as always
"Wanna hold you close" is what
I wish, I wish, I wish, though
I've hurt you slightly
The more I drag over
That vague pride,
The more those grown-out spines are hurting me
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts,
It hurts, but, oh, I will tolerate that
