Lyrics

Japanese Rōmaji English
ポケットの空白じゃ窮屈なの知っていた
ハジメマシテの一歩は 旅立ちを待っている―

“何気ない”日常が何気なく無くなってゆく(逢い)
サカサマ日常がドラマを纏う

出逢い 別れ 出逢い 別れ 
期待 繋がる世界
走る聲、夢。  
聴こえるかい
怪獣のような心臓が―!

アシアトも、キズアトも
君と生きるための旅人。
誰の鼓動?
未知の果て
“逢い”を越え
廻る世界―

逆境も、暗闇も
君と笑えたら絵空事!
指先に架ける夢の、続きで逢いましょう


ソケットを伝う律動(ビート)じゃ受け止めきれないハート
出会った日の姿には戻れないけど…

未来 またね 未来 またね
期待 移りゆく世代
繋ぐ唄
「まだ歩けるかい?」
―遥か彼方の選択肢

あの歌も、この涙も
君と出会うためのアイ模様。
誰の鼓動?
一つ二つ
意志を越え
廻る舞台―

喜びも悲しみも
君と分け合えたら“にじいろ”
指先に架ける夢を抱え

アシアトも、キズアトも
君と生きるための旅人。
誰の鼓動?
未知の果て
“逢い”を越え
廻る世界―

逆境も、暗闇も
君と笑えたら絵空事。
指先に架ける夢の、続きで逢いましょう!
Poketto no kūhaku ja kyūkutsu na no shitteita
Hajimemashite no ippo wa tabidachi o matteiru

"Nanigenai" nichijō ga nanigenaku nakunatte yuku aizu
Sakasama nichijō ga dorama o matō

Deai wakare deai wakare
Kitai tsunagaru sekai
Hashiru koe, yume.
Kikoeru kai
Kaijū no yō na shinzō ga―!

Ashiato mo, kizuato mo
Kimi to ikiru tame no tabibito.
Dare no kodō?
Michi no hate
"Ai" o koe
Mawaru sekai―

Gyakkyō mo, kurayami mo
Kimi to waraetara esoragoto!
Yubisaki ni kakeru yume no, tsuzuki de aimashō


Soketto o tsutau bīto ja uketome kirenai hāto
Deatta hi no sugata ni wa modorenai kedo…

Mirai mata ne mirai mata ne
Kitai utsuriyuku sedai
Tsunagu uta
"Mada arukeru kai?"
―Haruka kanata no sentakushi

Ano uta mo, kono namida mo
Kimi to deau tame no ai moyō.
Dare no kodō?
Hitotsu futatsu
Ishi o koe
Mawaru butai―

Yorokobi mo kanashimi mo
Kimi to wakeaetara "nijiiro"
Yubisaki ni kakeru yume o kakae

Ashiato mo, kizuato mo
Kimi to ikiru tame no tabibito.
Dare no kodō?
Michi no hate
"Ai" o koe
Mawaru sekai―

Gyakkyō mo, kurayami mo
Kimi to waraetara esoragoto.
Yubisaki ni kakeru yume no, tsuzuki de aimashō!
I knew that the space in my pocket would be too tight
The step of "How do you do?" awaits the start of the journey…

A sense of an encounter where usual routines casually disappeared
Daily routines flipped over, all entangled in drama

Meetings and partings, meetings and partings 
Expectations in these connecting worlds
The rushing voice and dream.
Can you hear it?
The monstrous roar in my heart-!

These scars and footprints
Both served as travelers living alongside you
Whose heartbeat was it?
At the edge of the unknown
Beyond our meetings
The revolving world-

In the face of adversities and darkness
They're merely a fantasy if I laugh with you!
I'll see you the next time in the dreams bridging our fingertips


My heart can't take the beat running through the socket
We can't go back to the day we met, but...

See you in the future, see you in the future
Expectations in these shifting generations
The connecting songs
"Can you still walk?"
These choices seem so far away

With that song and these tears
Patterns of love seeking to meet with you.
Whose heartbeat was it?
One followed by another
Beyond my determination
The revolving stage-

Whether it's joy or sorrow
If I could share them with you, we could shine like a rainbow
Carrying on these dreams bridging our fingertips

These scars and footprints
Both served as travelers living alongside you
Whose heartbeat was it?
At the edge of the unknown
Beyond our meetings
The revolving world…

In the face of adversities and darkness
They're merely a fantasy if I laugh with you.
I'll see you the next time in the dreams bridging our fingertips!
