だから 1way, 2way, 3way, 4way

Go way! Go way! さあYou! Make My Day!

そんな難しいことか?

1way, 2way, 3way, 4way

No way! No way! もう good-bye! bad day!

思うままに 壊してゆけ

誰かのレールの上から覗いた 幸せってなんだろ? これでいいの?

愛とか恋とか夢とか 聞き飽きたし 退屈ね どこへ行こう?

Are you ready?

No way! No way! もう good-bye! bad day!

思うままに 壊してゆけ

溢れた 涙の 雫に 明日の空が ほんの少し 映るように

苛立って 嫌がって 強がった 昨日の自分 さよならね... 次へ行こう

Can you take me?

だから 1way, 2way, 3way, 4way

Go way! Go way! さあYou! Make My Day!

それが自分になるっていうコト

1way, 2way, 3way, 4way

No way! No way! もう good-bye! bad day!

何を探し 駆け上がるMy Way?

あと少しLoading スタンバってんだってDreamin'

Noブレーキ100年先へ行っちゃって

ワガママにTake it! 望めば無敵! 強く強く...

心の言葉の欠片を一つずつ 拾い集めて形にして そろそろ...

だから 1way, 2way, 3way, 4way

Go way! Go way! さあYou! Make My Day!

そんな難しいことか?

1way, 2way, 3way, 4way

No way! No way! もう good‐bye! bad day! 思うままに

未来・期待・不安だって 答えなんか聞かなくていい

一歩一歩 信じる道へと

何もかもが嬉しくって 向かい風はどこから吹くの?

がんじがらめ 渦巻く運命を 壊してゆけ
