[English]

Love and dreams are still not enough, can't you see?

Expect it, the whole world

Hey, welcome back to the ruthless reality

Still now, I'm me

Alright, here we go!

The story is still full of twists

It's an unpredictable series of events

Even though a sense of justice is a hindrance

This wish is growing

Ah, it should be checkmate, but the darkness continues

The troubles of humanity are troublesome

Then, I’ll just keep being me

Expect it, the whole world

In this cold world, tears mix in

I can't feel secure in this bland prologue

I don't need rough pessimism, and precedents are useless

What I choose is a special future

So I can run, I can wish, I challenge as I think

In this world where I continue to live with you, I must make it happy

There are many things I never wished for alone, is it too clumsy to call it magic?

To the message I hold on to (hey!)

Just like this (hey!) from here, towards the shining side

I can't lie to my heart, shaking off loneliness

A serenade that feels like a shout

Stay out of it, outsiders

Be indifferent and smirk, junk

Rough reactions look lame

Shut up, please

Jesus, I've entrusted this soul

A tumultuous bet (hey!), judgement (hey!) Let's do it, babe (hey!)

Carving an unprecedented fate, expect it, the whole world

Ah, can you hear?

(Woah, woah) Let your cells go wild, let me get it out!

(Woah, woah) Smash all of desire

I don't want legends or mere honors

I just want to create a future with you!

So I can run, I can wish, I shout while praying

This world where you continue to live is overflowing with freedom!

Words can be weapons or poison, if you want to protect, don’t slack off

With irreplaceable light!

(Woah, woah, woah)

(Woah, woah, woah)

Sing, a serenade that only we can grasp

...

How far have we progressed from the scenery we once saw?

Well, it doesn't matter, just go down the path you can only take now

So I can run, I can wish, I challenge as I think

In this world where I continue to live with you, I must make it happy

There are many things I never wished for alone, is it too clumsy to call it magic?

The message I hold on to goes even further! (Hey!)

How far (hey!) can we go? Shall we try?

I won't lie to my heart, I won't let go of that hand

A serenade that feels like a shout

Until that future we create together

...

[Japanese]

愛とか夢じゃまだ足りない can't you see?

期待しろ 全世界

Hey, welcome back to the ruthless reality

Still now, I'm me

Alright, here we go!

ストーリーは未だ数奇まみれ

予測不能の連続だな

正義感なんて邪魔なのに

肥大してく この願い

Ah, check mateのはずが闇は続く

人間の業は厄介だな

じゃあ依然 僕をやるだけだ

期待しろ 全世界

冷たい世界に 涙が混じる

味気ない序章には 安心できないよ

雑な悲観なんて要らない 前例とかも役に立たない

選び出すのは 特別な未来なんだ

だから走っていける 望んでいける 思いつくまま挑むんだ

キミと生き続けるこの世界 幸せにしなくちゃ

一人じゃ望まなかったことばかり 魔法と呼ぶには野暮ったいか?

握ったメッセージのその先へ (hey!)

このまま (hey!) ここから 光る方へ

心に嘘はつけない 孤独を振り切りながら

叫ぶようなserenade

他人事でいろよ外野は

無関心でヘラつけよjunkは

雑なリアクションはダサく見えるぞ

おだまりあそばせ

Jesus この魂預けたから

波乱のbet (hey!), judgement (hey!) やろうぜbabe (hey!)

かつてない運命を刻むよ 期待しろ全世界

Ah, can you hear?

(Woah, woah) キミの細胞 暴れろ let me get it out!

(Woah, woah) all of desire ぶつけろ

欲しくない 伝説も 形だけの名誉も

ただキミと未来を作りたい!

だから走っていける 望んでいける 祈りながら叫ぶんだ

キミが生き続けるこの世界は自由に溢れてる!

言葉は武器にもなって毒にもなる 守りたいならサボんなよな

かけがえのない光と一緒に!

(Woah, woah, woah)

(Woah, woah, woah)

歌え 僕らだけが掴めるserenade

いつか見た景色からどんくらい進んだんだ

まあどうでもいいや 今しか進めない道を行け

だから走っていける 望んでいける 思いつくまま挑むんだ

キミと生き続けるこの世界 幸せにしなくちゃ

一人じゃ望まなかったことばかり 魔法と呼ぶには野暮ったいか?

握ったメッセージはもっと先へ! (Hey!)

どこまで (hey!) 行けるのか 試そうか

心に嘘はつかない その手は離さないんだよ

叫ぶようなserenade

キミと作るその未来まで
