JAPANESE LYRICS (for -opening version-)
思い出せば遙か遙か
未来はどこまでも輝いてた
きれいな青空の下で
僕らは少しだけ怯えていた
懐かしい色に窓が染まる
前を向いてればまた会えますか
未来はどこへでも続いてるんだ
大きな看板の下で
時代の移ろいを見ていたいな
人知れず
My heart's a battleground
二度と会えぬ人に場所に
窓を開ける
思い出せば遙か遙か
未来はどこまでも輝いてた
きれいな青空の下で
僕らはいつまでも眠っていた
My fears, my lies
青空の下
JAPANESE LYRICS (ROMAJI) (for -opening version-)
Omoidaseba haruka haruka
Mirai wa doko made mo kagayaiteta
Kirei na aozora no shita de
Bokura wa sukoshi dake obieteita
Natsukashii iro ni mado ga somaru
Mae wo muitereba mata aemasu ka
Mirai wa doko e demo tsudzuiterun da
Ookina kanban no shita de
Jidai no utsuroi wo miteitai na
Hitoshirezu
My heart's a battleground
Nido to aenu hito ni basho ni
Mado wo akeru
Omoidaseba haruka haruka
Mirai wa doko made mo kagayaiteta
Kirei na aozora no shita de
Bokura wa itsu made mo nemutteita
My fears, my lies
Aozora no shita
