Lyrics

Japanese

あくせく働いたら　あとは眠りにつくだけ
そんな日々過ごしても　うんざりするほど退屈さ

すれ違う他人の目に　映る景色よりももっと
思うまんま生きるのさ　かならずイイコトあるだろう

どんなツキがオレを照らしてる
胸騒ぎが続くの?
夜を越えて時間を飛び越え
この世界を駆けぬけて行け

Romaji

akuseku hataraitara ato wa nemuri ni tsukudake
sonna hibi sugoshite mo unzari suru hodo taikutsusa

surechigau hito no me ni utsuru keshiki yori mo motto
omou manma ikiru no sa kanarazu ii koto aru darou

donna tsuki ga ore wo terashiteru
munasawagi ga tsuzuku no?
yoru wo koete jikan wo tobikoe
kono sekai wo kakenukete ike
