Ask me again and again
Tell me your true feelings
Not my business, because I don't understand
playing instinctively
Good is good, love or like
Because it's a rare occurrence, yeah, yeah, yeah
There's no right answer
Like Cheshire it’s alright

If you listen to it again, it's boring
Just play a trick (play a trick)
There is no answer yet, you want to know

I'll give you a hint if you want
So set me free your
[Yuna/Lia] In my chest, let go la-la-la-la-la

Hey, why so serious?
Believe what you see (hey)
It's not difficult, nothing's wrong, right?
Can you see me?
Hey, why so curious?
Trust your heart without thinking (hey)
Don't be serious
Anything's right (La-la-la-la-la)

If you smiled
It might be weird, but you like me (yeah, I feel so free)
Only the smile that remains deep in my eyes
Sparkling eyes in the dark
Somebody’s light, I am
Illuminated road I wanna go
Look, I found it (yeah, ay)

Follow next story
You are always wondering (wondering)
