あの日夢物語と笑われた その夢を超えるため走りだそう 風の音 雲の鼓動 空の向こう その先で会おう 型破りでクレイジー? 上等だ ハナからニュースタンダード 責任者を呼びな 色の見えない言葉 聞き飽きたよ 居場所がない 行く当てもない なら自分で作るさ 何でもアリ お前の物差しじゃ測れやしない さぁもう行くぜ 君はどうしたい? It's not too late Never too late to start 逃げやしないさ It's not too late Never too late to fly Please don't waste my time どうせ跳ぶなら高く ほかの奴らじゃ 到底追いつけないくらい I'm ready to go ぶち破ろう 君と I know this is the only way その炎を燃やせ I know this is the only way 怖くても進め I know this is the only way 何者でもない 蛹のバタフライ ここじゃ終われない 終わる気すらない ゴールなんて見えない 果てないこの旅 君と俺の行く先なら同じ どんな過去があっても今日がスタート 馴れ合いはNo でもNever leave you alone 怖くなんてないわけがない だけど止まれない 君と俺の生きた意味を 空の果てに刻もう It's not too late Never too late to start 待てやしないさ It's not too late Never too late to fly Please don't waste my time 放物線を描く 流れ星を掴むように空を駆ける Now I gotta go ぶちかまそう 君と I know this is the only way その炎を燃やせ I know this is the only way 怖くても進め I know this is the only way We know this is the only way その炎を燃やせ

They laughed that day, saying it was just a dream But I'm running to surpass that dream The sound of the wind, the beat of the clouds Beyond the skies, I'll see you there You think I'm unconventional and crazy? That's fine I'm the new standard from the start Call the man in charge I can't see any color in those words I'm tired of hearing them Nowhere to stay, nowhere to go I'll then make it by myself, anything is possible You can't judge me by your standards Now I'm going, what do you wanna do? It's not too late Never too late to start I'm not gonna run away It's not too late Never too late to fly Please don't waste my time Go higher if you're flying Much higher so that the others will never catch you up I'm ready to go, I'm gonna defeat it With you I know this is the only way Let that flame burn I know this is the only way Move on even if you're scared I know this is the only way I haven't become anything like a butterfly in a chrysalis I can't end here, I don't even think about ending I can't see the goal in this endless journey You and I are going the same way No matter what happened in the past, today is the start I'd say no to cozy relationships, but I'll never leave you alone It' not like I'm not scared, but I can't stop Let's carve the meaning of our lives in the end of the sky It's not too late Never too late to start I can't wait It's not too late Never too late to fly Please don't waste my time I'm running across the sky As if I'm grabbing a shooting star that draws a parabola Now I gotta go, I'm gonna break through With you I know this is the only way Let that flame burn I know this is the only way Move on even if you're scared I know this is the only way We know this is the only way Let that flame burn
