Neon bleeding down the alley, night’s humidity clinging to my shoulders
Your laughter melts the ice between us
Mint in the air mixes with pale moonlight
We’re still green, testing each other’s warmth with fingertips
Like sparklers, beautiful but gone too soon
The more I say “see you,” the more lime sticks in my throat
Blue mojito, tastes so sweet (Baby, sweet)
But the aftertaste carries a hint of bitter summer (Bitter, sweet)
This love is probably not ripe yet, still green
But for now, I drink up all of this sweetness
(Mint, lime, salt) sweat, tears, ocean breeze
(Mmm) your hair loosens and sways
Through the ticket gate, you melt into the city lights
The crease in my pocket ticket grows deeper
Ramune marble at the bottom of an empty glass
The fruit’s still hard, but the scent is already sweet
“You’ll be fine,” you smile, dyeing lies grape-colored
Unfinished feelings linger bitter on my tongue
Blue mojito, tastes so bitter (Baby, bitter)
But with you, the bitterness turns sweet (Sweet and bitter)
This love is probably not a promise, just a season
Still, today I hold this season close
Sweet, bitter, summer
Sweet, bitter, summer
Sweet, bitter, summer (Ah)
(Just one sip) ice you left spinning in my fingers
(Just one word) unsaid, turned into bubbles
Blue mojito, tastes so sweet (Baby, sweet)
But your shadow lingers, bitter on the tongue (Baby, bitter)
Will this love ever ripen into fruit? I don’t know
Oh summer of laughter and tears, just one more sip
Comet streaking across the sky, tail trailing bright (So far, so bright)
Sweat droplets cool, the night feels lighter
I walk, inhaling the mint-scented breeze
With my heart still blue, waiting for tomorrow…
