気にしないですぐに Far Away!
こころ踊る 今日は Friday!
戸惑うなら 僕と Show Time!
届かない思い出に Good Bye!

この町 この場所から 遠いあの未来へ
飛び立つ気があるなら もう一度 Wake up! Someday!

Far Away! 君が見えるよ
輝くDay by Day もっと空へ高く
Far Away! The shooting Star!
だれよりも強く
Far Away! The grooving Night!
このままじゃWithout You Night!

Romaji

kinishinaide sugu ni Far Away!
kokoro odoru kyou wa Friday!
tomadou nara boku to Show Time!
todokanai omoide ni Good Bye!

kono machi kono basho kara tooi ano mirai e
tobitatsu ki ga aru nara mouichido Wake up! Someday!

Far Away! kimi ga mieru yo
kagayaku Day by Day motto sora e takaku
Far Away! The shooting Star!
dare yori mo tsuyoku
Far Away! The grooving Night!
kono mama ja Without You Night!

English

We don't care, 'cause soon we'll be Far Away!
Our hearts dance, for today is Friday!
If you're confused, it's Show Time with me!
And to our memories, we won't say Good Bye!

From this town, from this location, our future is far away
So if you're willing to take off again - Wake Up! Someday!

Far Away! You can see it!
Shine Day by Day and we'll get more sky-high
Far Away! The shooting Star!
Stronger than anyone!
Far Away! The grooving Night!
At this rate, I won't be Without You (To)night!
