Kanji
なんでかなぁ 空が飛べないのは 夢の中の僕は

羽がはえてんのに 限界を超えて とびだそうここから さみしさ吹き飛ばす

君と君と

アイラビューもさよならも　言えなかった ここに不完全な僕だけを残して 愛のウタ　君にまだ伝えてないよ

どこまでもまぶしく輝く世界を この歌を

English
I wonder why I can’t fly in the sky. When the me in my dreams can grow﻿ wings. From here on I will pass my limits and fly out. I’ll brush away loneliness with you, with you.

I couldn’t say ‘I love you’, nor ‘goodbye’ to you. Only I was left here, incomplete. I haven’t told you a love song yet.

The world shines dazzlingly everywhere with this song.

English (Full Version)
I wonder why, I can’t fly in the sky Because in my dreams, I have wings I’ll go beyond my limits and fly right out of here I’ll drive off this loneliness, with you, with you

No more “I love you”, no more “good-bye” All that’s left here is me incomplete You still haven’t taught me the song of love All you left was a full-blown dream in the sky, and flew away

A solitary angel falling into the night Crying from the pain of its wounded wings

I couldn’t say, “I love you” or Good-bye” A utopia holding everything inside If it’s a cherished memory, wait for daybreak All that’s left is this full-blown present moment, reflected in the sky I still haven’t taught you the song of love It’s a world that shines brightly over all. This song
