[Intro]
{Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I}

[Hook 1]
思い出せば遙か遙か
未來は
{Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I}
どこまでも輝いてた
きれいな青空の下で
僕らは
{Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I}
少しだけ怯えていた

[Verse 1]
懐かしい色に
窓が染まる

[Hook 2]
前を向いてればまた會えますか
未來は
{Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I}
こへでも続いてるんだ
大きな看板の下で
時代の
{Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I}
移ろいを見ていたいな

[Bridge]
人知れず
My heart's a battleground
{Snoitome eurt deen I}
{Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I}
{Snoitome eurt deen I}

[Verse 2]
二度と会えぬ
人に場所に
窓を開ける

[Hook 1]
思い出せば遙か遙か
未來は
{Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I}
どこまでも輝いてた
きれいな青空の下で
僕らは
{Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I}
いつまでも眠っていた

[Verse 3]
ずっと前に好きだった人
冬に子供が生まれるそうだ
昔からの決まり事を
たまに疑いたくなるよ
ずっと忘れられなかったの
年賀狀は寫真付かな
わたしたちに出來なかったことを
とても懐かしく思うよ

[Outro]
Ooh...
My fears...my lies...
青空の下
I...
{Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I}
