Lyrics

Rōmaji

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da...

Dare ni mo akerarenai tobira o akeru to iwarete iru
Demo kagi wa sagasa nai ze jibun dake no yarigata o sagashite
Kokoro no kusari o toki hanatsu no osorete wa ikenai yo
Doramachiku na monogatari o koe chimau kurai no dekigoto ga

Kimi o matteru no sa uso janai yo
Kyou dake wa dare mo
Kimi ni oitsuke ya shinai no sa kimi o tomerareya shinai no sa

Mirai wa itsumo mieteru hazu ikai na toko de deaeru hazu
Ai ga hashiri dasu hajimatte iku takamatte iku
Mirai wa kimi o mitsumeru hazu hikari wa koko de deaeru hazu
Aizu no beru ga naru masa ni ima boku o yonde irun da yo

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da...

Kanji

誰にも開けられない扉を　開けろと言われている
でもカギは探さないぜ　自分だけのやり方を探して
心のクサリを解き放つのを　おそれてはいけないよ
ドラマチックな物語を　超えちまうくらいの出来事が

キミを待っているのさ　ウソじゃないよ
今日だけは誰も
キミに追いつけやしないのさ　キミを止められやしないのさ

未来はいつも見えてるはず　意外なトコで出会えるはず
愛が走り出す　はじまっていく　たかまっていく
未来はキミを見つめるはず　先はここで出会えるはず
合図のべるが鳴る　まさに今　僕を呼んでいるんだよ
