English Translation

I don't want to grow up, but somehow
I can't help losing my innocence.
It's not that I have too much of youth,
but I don't want to waste it by throwing it away.

Those who say, 」I love you to death,」
are the ones who are not willing to die.

」I want to see you.」」I like you.」」I can't resist.」
They say things like that to just anybody. I don't get it.

If I walk once more, 
even one more step, I'll lose.
My habit of saying, 」I'm bored,」 sounds like my excuse now.

Once more, I want to let go of a life like this.
I want to be waiting for you at the bus stop in summer.

I'm an underdog, so memories are all I have.

They say running away is a shame but useful, but honestly, it's useless.
I don't want to grow up, but since when
did I get good at smiling?

It's not that I have too much of a lifetime
and friends are not what I need.
I thought I would just pack the essentials
and come to see you.

I can't resist.

5! 4! 3! 2! HOWL!

If I drop once more, even one more, I can't die.
Your smile after losing so many times makes you look like an idiot now.

For the rest of my life, I don't want to regret. We just want to howl.
I want to live like a howling underdog.
I can't stand to look at your face like that.

If I give a name to my life,
I guess hope is not the right word.
I wonder how many years I've been waiting. Who knows?

I don't care about anything but you.
I guess that's the one thing you knew.

Even if I walk once more, even one more step, I can't say.
After all, I doubt music resonates. Is it possible to say enough about anything?

Once more, we don't need an encore anymore.
Pull a long face, you hypocrite.

If I walk once more, even one more step, I'll lose.
Shall we sing world peace? Save all now with your so-called love.

That's it, I want to bet all of my life like this.
As an underdog, I sing about regret all the time,
defeated by my dream again, cherishing yesterday.
