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
