* more enthralling than an ignited fuse
at the moment of friction, the sparks are more alluring than starlight
it's being taken more seriously than what's already in possession

darker than having a secret crush
compared to worries, this causes fitful sleep, but is addicting
waiting for the unpredictable lingering notes

** if it's possible to be open, who would rather dodge and hide
if it's possible to be happy, who would rather forget about the inner demons

perhaps, pleasure by stealth  can't measure up to love by stealth
still, it's worth more joy than being alone
hard to be together, but still have the right to long for it
not trusting relationships, never having met is thus more like love

perhaps, the stealing of a heart must be preceded by stealthy love
in order to bear the sin of pleasure
to be able to experience all the great sights and sceneries, and then to accept fate
so there won't be a need again for sudden affairs *

* repeat * (3rd line: this seems more real than what's already in possession)
** repeat * (2nd line: if it's possible to be happy, who's willing to lock up the inner demons)

perhaps, pleasure by stealth  can't measure up to love by stealth
still, it's worth more joy than being alone

perhaps, pleasure by stealth  can't measure up to love by stealth
