   Ten years ago your past self
   Prayed for you happiness
   Please don't lose hope

   Put here to feel joy, nothing blue

   Soon we will know if it's for real
   What we... both feel

   Though I can't know for sure
   How things worked out for us

   We weren't put on this earth to suffer and cry
   We were made for being happy
   So... be happy
   For me, for you
   Please
5. 2:47 Oh, oh, what a pair, me and you
   Put here to feel joy, nothing blue
   Sad times, and bad times, see them through
   Soon we will know if it's for real
   What we [what we] both feel [both feel]
6. 3:23 We were put here on this earth
   Put here to feel joy
