Kanji (Full Version)
踏み込むぜアクセル 駆け引きは無いさ、そうだよ 夜をぬける

ねじ込むさ最後に 差し引きゼロさ、そうだよ 日々を削る

心をそっと開いて ギュっと引き寄せたら 届くよきっと伝うよもっと さ・

生き急いで搾り取って 縺れる足だけど前より ずっとそう、遠くへ 奪い取って掴んだって 君じゃないなら 意味は無いのさ

だからもっと…遥か彼方

生き急いで搾り取って 縺れる足だけど前より ずっとそう、遠くへ 奪い取って掴んだって 君じゃないなら 意味は無いのさ

だから、嗚呼、遥か彼方

偽る事に慣れた君の世界を 塗り潰すのさ、白く…

English
Hit the gas! There's no need to finagle, oh yeah! We'll go all through the night.

I'll complain at the end, The balance is zero, oh yeah! We'll whittle the days away

When you open your heart a little, And pull someone close to you

Your feelings will surely reach them deeper, yeah...

Hurry it up! Wring it out! Though my legs are all tangled, They will surely take me far

Even if I steal it and manage to grasp it, If it isn't you, then what's the point?

So I'll go further and further away!
