Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

いつまで子供のままでいる？

How long will you stay a child?

そんな言葉がふりかかる

Such words come pouring down

黙って見てればいんだ

Just stay silent and watch

笑ってそういってやれ

Laugh and say it like that

人生にはないんだ take two

Life doesn't have a take two

平凡でくだらない退屈

Ordinary, trivial boredom

なんてごめんだ 現実的な

I'm sorry for being realistic

言葉なんかにゃ耳をふさげ

Plug your ears to such words

ネバーランドに閉じこもって

Locked away in Neverland

いつまでだって夢を語るんだ

Forever talking about dreams

笑う奴には 唾を吐け

Spit at those who laugh

にっちもさっちもいかない？

Can't you do anything?

綺麗事に踊り踊らされ

Dancing to pretty words

大人の言う常識なんてものは

The common sense of adults

丸めて捨てちまえ

Just crumple it up and throw it away

ピーターパン症候群と

Even if they point and insult me

指をさされ 罵られようが

With Peter Pan syndrome

おとぎ話みたいなハッピーエンドを

I’ll live imagining a happy ending

思い描いて生きていくんだ

Just like a fairy tale

...

...

こっち指差して笑ってんだろ

You're pointing and laughing, right?

好きに笑えよそれで別にいいさ

Laugh as you like, that's fine

お前なんかにそうお前らなんかに

I don't want to hear anything from you

なにも言われたくない

I don't want to hear anything from you

黙って見てろ

Just watch in silence

やり直しのきかない人生

In a life where you can't start over

一度でいいチャンスをください

Just give me one chance

掴んで離さない

I’ll grab it and never let go

もう俺のものなんだ

It's already mine

ネバーランドの大気圏を

Breaking through the atmosphere of Neverland

破って今夢をかなえるんだ

I’ll make my dreams come true now

笑う奴など蹴り飛ばせ

Kick away those who laugh

打つ手はない残されてない？

Is there nothing left to do?

ネガティブを押し付けてくんな

Don't push your negativity on me

大人のあんたも知らない世界を

I’m living in a world

俺は生きてるんだ

That even you adults don’t know

ピーターパン症候群と

Even if they think I have

思われたって馬鹿にされたって

Peter Pan syndrome and mock me

おとぎ話みたいなハッピーエンドに

I’ll head straight for a happy ending

一直線に進んで行くんだ

Just like a fairy tale

...

...

夢の見過ぎと馬鹿にされた少年が

The boy who was mocked for dreaming too much

夢を掴む物語を

Has a story of grasping his dreams

見事な逆転劇をこの手で

A magnificent turnaround, I’ll create it

巻き起こせ

With my own hands

見せつけろ

Show it off

にっちもさっちもいかない？

Can't you do anything?

綺麗事に踊り踊らされ

Dancing to pretty words

大人の言う常識なんてものは

The common sense of adults

丸めて捨てちまえ

Just crumple it up and throw it away

ピーターパン症候群と

Even if they point and insult me

指をさされ 罵られようが

With Peter Pan syndrome

おとぎ話みたいなハッピーエンドを

I’ll seize a happy ending

そう自ら掴みとるんだ

Just like a fairy tale

...

And take it for myself
