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.
