The English Translation of "Kokuhaku bungee jump" from "Rent-A-Girlfriend"

When I suddenly realized it, it's a fallen love. I want to be special to you! But somehow, it feels wrong to force it.

"You're cute just the way you are," you said, but what does "just the way you are" mean? What about "me"?

The more I fall in love, the less I understand myself. Should I push forward or pull back? If I hesitate, someone else might snatch you away. Hey, tell me the best solution… oh well, let's just go with the flow. Sigh…

I feel like I can say it, but I can't. It's like a love riddle. Notice it, please, why do you keep changing the subject?

Even when we're close, even when we're staring at each other, my feelings don't get through. Am I too insensitive? Like bungee jumping, just dive in! "I, I, I, I, I loooo…" Oh, look at that cute sparrow… sigh…

Wait a minute, what time is it? I can't focus on anything. This everyday life is too much of a hassle.

They say love makes you beautiful, right? But every day is a struggle.

Yet, why are you always indecisive? You say things like "I'm nothing special," but didn't you say you liked me just the way I am? Didn't you?

Love is so unclear, what will happen? What do you want to happen? Tell me what's going on in your head.

No matter how you look at it, we're not just friends. This distance isn't normal. I really am too dense, aren't I? Just go for it like this, "I, I, I loooo…"

Thinking of you, I feel like crying. What is this? This emotion, it's love.

I want to be your girlfriend, I want to love you more! We create our own future, so let's move, me!

I feel like I can say it, but I can't. It's like a love riddle. Notice it, please, why do you keep changing the subject?

Even when we're close, even when we're staring at each other, my feelings don't get through. Am I too insensitive? Like bungee jumping, just dive in! Let me just say it already! "I love you."
