煌めく憧憬 色褪せずに
余韻がまだ ここにあるの
線香花火 揺れる光
あの日のわたしたち
変化を求め 背伸びしてた
うわべだけの 音色のまま
吐いては吸う ただそれだけ
あなたを知るまでは
涙の熱で 夢を燃やす
研ぎ澄ました 音色が鳴る
飾らないで 歩み寄る
あなたを 知ってから
おぼろげな光
受け継いで照らされる
光は別れた
約束を抱いて
今、未来駆ける
音色の軌跡をたどりながら
展望台に迸る熱
ずっと覚えてる
また 引き合うよね
共鳴しつづけてるから
特別になりたい想いは
あの日のまま
名前呼ばれる その喜び
あなたには 当然だね
その横顔が 凛々しすぎて
ときどき 悔しくて
ぶつかり合って ふたり 泣いた
悩みながら 上を向いた
積み上げてく 時間と音
あなたを 知ってきた
「大好きのハグ」も
気さくな「頑張ろう」も
大切なぬくもり
青春の価値として 生きていく
あなたと出会い 変わった
変わらないものは 誇りになった
フーガみたいに絡み合い
愛し合う響き
音色の彼方に 鳴り続ける
違う痛み 抱えていても
きっと「大丈夫」
また 並び咲いて
藍色の夜を見つめようよ
なぞる指 差し伸べられた手
ずっとあったかい
バラバラの場所で生まれて
同じメロディで交じりあった
離れていたって
同じリズムを刻む心臓
桜が舞った
ねえ、追いつけたかな
少しは かっこよくなれたかな
あなたは誰より強かった
ずっと 素敵だよ
今、未来駆ける
音色の軌跡をたどりながら
展望台に迸る熱
ずっと覚えてる
また 引き合うよね
共鳴しつづけてるから
特別になりたい想いは
あの日のまま

Gleaming yearning, never fading
The lingering sound remains here
Sparklers, flickering light
Remind me of us from that day
Seeking change, stretching ourselves
Stuck with just surface-level sounds
Exhaling and inhaling, that's all we did
Until I knew you
Burning dreams with the heat of tears
The sharpened sound rings out
Moving closer without pretense
Since getting to know you
Faint light
Illuminates as it's passed down
The light has parted
Embracing the promise
Now, running towards the future
Tracing the path of our shared sound
The passion bursting forth from the viewdeck—
I will always remember
We'll meet again, won't we?
Because our resonance endures
The desire to be special
Remains just like that day
The joy of hearing my name called
Seems only natural to you
Your dignified profile
Sometimes makes me frustrated
We clashed and cried together
Struggling while looking up
The time and sound we've built up
I've come to understand you
The "hug of love"
And the casual "let's do our best"
Are precious warmth
Living as the value of youth
Meeting you changed me
What remains unchanged has become pride
Entwining like a fugue
The resonance of our love
Continues to sound in distant tones
Even with different pains we carry
It's surely "okay"
We will bloom together again
Let's gaze at the indigo night
Tracing fingers and reaching out hands
Always warm
Born in separate places
Blending together in the same melody
Even when apart
Our hearts beat to the same rhythm
Cherry blossoms danced
Hey, did I catch up?
Did I become a bit cooler?
You were stronger than anyone
Always wonderful
Now, running towards the future
Tracing the path of our shared sound
The passion bursting forth from the viewdeck—
I will always remember
We'll meet again, won't we?
Because our resonance endures
The desire to be special
Remains just like that day
