Lyrics

TV Size


無意識のうちに
捉えたその景色は
ずっと待ち望んでいた
未来じゃなく

私の知らない
見たこともない笑顔
釘付けになったまま
立ち尽くした

てんでんばらばら
ふたつの世界
はぐれてく

ぜんぜんばらばら
矛盾している想い
抑え切れなくなる

がむしゃらな心で
いつの日か
あなたを跳び越して
前へ進め

やみくもな鼓動が
いつの間に
私を追い越して
絡まった気持ち

走れ走れ
いつも出来ることはひとつ
速く速く速く
その向こうへ



Muishiki no uchi ni toraeta sono keshiki wa
Zutto machi nozonda ita
Mirai ja naku

Watashi no shiranai mita koto mo nai egao
Kugizuke ni natta mama
Tachi tsukushita

Tenden barabara
Futatsu no sekai
Hagurete ku

Zenzen barabara
Mujun shite iru omoi
Osae kire naku naru

Gamushara no kokoro de
Itsuno hi ka
Anata wo tobikoshite
Mae he susume

Yamikumo na kodou ga
Itsuno ma ni
Watashi wo oikoshi te
Karamatta kimochi

Hashire hashire
Itsumo dekiru koto wa hitotsu

Hayaku hayaku hayaku
Sono mukou he



The scene I subconsciously caught sight of
Wasn't the future
I'd been waiting for all along

It was a smiling face I didn't know and had never seen
I was riveted, and stood
Rooted to the spot

The two worlds are straying away from each other
in different directions

I cannot hold these completely scattered
ambivalent feelings

With a reckless heart,
I'll leap right over you
and move forward someday

Before I knew it,
My random heartbeat
Had passed me by,
Leaving my emotions tangled

Run, run
There's always just one thing you can do

Hurry, hurry, hurry
To the other side

本当の感情
隠し続けていたら
気が付けば自分でも
見失って

割り切れてるようで
割り切れない事実が
この胸の奥で
まだ疼いてるよ

てんでんばらばら
つないだ日々が
ほどけてく

ぜんぜんばらばら
相反してる答
全部正しいけど

しゃかりきな今日でも
いつの日か
あなたを跳び越して
前へ進め

はちゃめちゃな夢さえ
いつの間に
私を追い越して
絡まった気持ち

走れ走れ

Japanese Rōmaji
 English Translation
Muishiki no uchi ni

Toraeta sono keshiki wa

Zutto machinozonde ita

Mirai ja naku

 The scenery I caught

While I was unconscious

Isn’t the future

I’d always been waiting for.

Watashi no shiranai

Mita koto mo nai egao

Kugizuke ni natta mama

Tachitsukushita

 Seeing the smile I don’t know

And haven’t seen before,

I stood still,

As though stapled down.

Tenden barabara

Futatsu no sekai

Hagureteku

 Scattered into bits,

The two worlds

Stray from each other.

Zenzen barabara

Mujun shite iru omoi

Osaekirenaku naru

 Completely scattered,

My ambivalent feelings

Are too much to control.

Gamushara na kokoro de

Itsu no hi ka

Anata wo tobikoshite

Mae e susume

 With my reckless heart,

Someday,

I’ll leap over you

And move forward.

Yamikumo na kodou ga

Itsu no ma ni

Watashi wo oikoshite

Karamatta kimochi

 Before I knew it,

My clouded heartbeat

Passed me by,

And my feelings were tangled.

Hashire hashire

Itsumo dekiru koto wa hitotsu

Hayaku hayaku hayaku

Sono mukou e

 Run, run!

It’s the one thing I can always do.

Quickly, quickly, quickly,

To that other side!

Hontou no kanjou

Kakushitsuzukete itara

Ki ga tsukeba jibun demo

Miushinatte

 If I continue to hide

My true feelings,

I’ll lose sight of myself

Before I come to.

Warikireteru you de

Warikirenai jijitsu ga

Kono mune no oku de

Mada uzuiteru yo

 It’s like it’s divisible,

But the fact that it’s not

Is still throbbing

Deep in this chest of mine.

Tenden barabara

Tsunaida hibi ga

Hodoketeku

 Scattered into bits,

The days that were connected

Come untied.

Zenzen barabara

Aihan shiteru kotae

Zenbu tadashii kedo

 Completely scattered,

The conflicting answers

Are all correct, but…

Shakariki na kyou demo

Itsu no hi ka

Anata wo tobikoshite

Mae e susume

 Even though I’m overeager today,

Someday,

I’ll leap over you

And move forward.

Hachamecha na yume sae

Itsu no ma ni

Watashi wo oikoshite

Karamatta kimochi

 Before I knew it,

Even my nonsensical dreams

Passed me by,

And my feelings were tangled.

Hashire hashire

Itsumo dekiru koto wa hitotsu

Hayaku hayaku hayaku

Sono mukou e

 Run, run!

It’s the one thing I can always do.

Quickly, quickly, quickly,

To that other side!

Gamushara na kokoro de

Itsu no hi ka

Anata wo tobikoshite

Mae e susume

 With my reckless heart,

Someday,

I’ll leap over you

And move forward.

Yamikumo na kodou ga

Itsu no ma ni

Watashi wo oikoshite

 Before I knew it,

My clouded heartbeat

Passed me by.

Shakariki na kyou demo

Itsu no hi ka

Anata wo tobikoshite

Mae e susume

 Even though I’m overeager today,

Someday,

I’ll leap over you

And move forward.

Hachamecha na yume sae

Itsu no ma ni

Watashi wo oikoshite

Karamatta kimochi

 Before I knew it,

Even my nonsensical dreams

Passed me by,

And my feelings were tangled.

Hashire hashire

Itsumo dekiru koto wa hitotsu

Hayaku hayaku hayaku

Sono mukou e

 Run, run!

It’s the one thing I can always do.

Quickly, quickly, quickly,

To that other side!
