Japanese

どう思われてるかなんてこコトが 微妙に怖いと思った
こんな風に時を無駄にして 水溜りを蹴散らしてく

空は今より澄み渡って 僕は夢の後
君の足跡ただ背負って 場所に慣れてゆく

共鳴できる仲間を 置き忘れたり
明日越える橋の予感に　惑わされてる
憂鬱さをとり乱し　明日も疲れ顔です

やるべきことに追い立てられ 休むことも無く
ありきたりの毎日から 横にそれている

こうありたいと願った 理想の壁に
思い切り叩きつけた　自分があった
何も知らないフリをして 明日は自由が道へ

Romaji

dou omowareteru ka nante ko koto ga bimyou ni kowai to omotta
konnafuuniji wo muda ni shite mizu tamari wo kechirashiteku

sora wa ima yori sumiwatatte boku wa yume no ato
kimi no ashiato tada seotte basho ni narete yuku

kyoumei dekiru nakama wo okiwasuretari
ashita koeru hashi no yokan ni madowasareteru
yuutsusa wo tori midashi ashita mo tsukare gaodesu

yarubeki koto ni oitaterare yasumu koto mo naku
ariki tari no mainichi kara yoko ni sorete iru

kou aritai to negatta risou no kabe ni
omoikiri tatakitsuketa jibun ga atta
nani mo shiranai furi wo shite ashita wa jiyuu ga michi e

Long Version

Japanese

どう思われるかなんて事が　ビミョーに怖いと思った こんな風に時を無駄にして　水たまりを蹴散らしてく 空は今より澄み渡って　ボクは夢の跡 君の足跡ただ背負って　場所に慣れてゆく ここに名を残すなんて事は　期待もしてない事だった 誰の記憶に残らずとも　あるがままにと願った やるべき事に追いたてられ　休む事もなく ありきたりの毎日から　横にそれている 共鳴できる仲間を　置き忘れたり 明日越える橋の予感に　惑わされてる 憂鬱さを取り乱し　明日も疲れ顔です 明日を夢見てる君の瞳に　ボクはどう映る かすみゆくボクのこの手で　何一つつかめず こうありたいと願った　理想の壁に 思いきりたたきつけた　自分があった 何も知らないふりをして　明日も自由が道へ 正しいと信じた　ボクの行くべき道 認めたくなかった　自分の為に 歩かずにはいられなく　生きせかされる 逃げることは許されず　進むばかりで 戸惑いを見透かされても　ボクらは笑い顔です
