Chikazuiteru byoushin no oto ga kikoeru
Sore wa ima watashi ni tainai tokei kara mo hibitekiteru
Suteki na koi no toujou wo matteru
(Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock)
Yoru ga akete murasaki ni kemuru Magic Time
Sore wa ima daisuki na uta nosete hashiru
Kanashimi-sae mo hikitsurete don'na nichijou mo nukete
(Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock)
Tsurai toki wa kokoro tozashitemo ii kara mimi wo sumashita
Tsugi no tabidachi made no ANAUNSU to KAUNTO DAUN kiku

The lyrics to My Little Lover's song Magic Time speak of a dream-like state where one can hear the sound of a ticking clock and wait for the arrival of a wonderful love. The first two lines describe the dream world beyond Veeru's reach, while the next lines convey the sound of a ticking clock in the present reality. The ticking clock is not just a physical sound, as it is also resonating internally within the singer. The arrival of a fantastic love story is awaited and anticipated.
The chorus speaks of the Magic Time, where the night turns deep purple, and a Merry-Go-Round begins to spin. This is an ideal world, where Sadness can be pulled along and the ordinary everyday life breaks down. The world of Magic Time is where we can have a fantastic love story, which is depicted in the line "Sore wa ima daisuki na uta nosete hashiru" meaning "It runs with a beloved song now." This vivid imagery describes a world beyond reality, where possibilities are endless and reality doesn't matter.
In the end, the ticking sound of the clock is heard, counting down to a new journey. It implies that although difficult times may come, it is alright to close one's heart now and then. It is essential to rest and open up our ears to a new journey, where next time it may be an announcement of an adventure or a new chapter in our lives.
