相変わらずあの頃に話した

夢を僕は追い続けてるよ

もう今年から忙しくなるよな?

でも変わらずこの場所はあるから

So everybody ever be buddies

Days we grew up are days we will treasure

Show everybody show is beginning curtain has risen

Make your own storyline

Dream as if you will live forever

And live as if you'll die today

ふざけ合い たわいもない

くだらない話をしては

泣き笑い なぐさめ合い

So 終わらない歌 今歌うよ

Dream as if you will live forever

And live as if you'll die today

悪さやバカもしたね よく怒られたね

ただ楽しくて そんな日々がずっと続くと思ってた

けど気付けば大人になってって

それと共に夢もでかくなっていって

それぞれが選んだ道へ

Our lives are going on
