[English]
Groping around, dreaming
Nothing, just have faith
The farther the universe feels away
Seeking a one-way ticket
Wow-wow, wow-wow-wow
Wow-wow, wow-wow-wow
Wow-wow, wow-wow-wow
Wow-wow, wow-wow-wow
There’s someone who’ll notice
Even if no one pays attention
We’ve shared laughs, shoulder to shoulder
We’re surely not gonna lose
Wow-wow, wow-wow-wow
Wow-wow, wow-wow-wow
...
I don’t want anything
Anytime, it’s always now
Wow, surface the starting line
Music is everything
The vast universe
Wow, run, star train
Taking a road without tracks
Wanting to move beyond imagination
Fitting together like gears
Strength can’t be conveyed alone
Wow-wow, wow-wow-wow
Wow-wow, wow-wow-wow
...
I don’t want anything
Anytime, it’s always now
Wow, always at the starting line
Music is everything
The vast universe
Wow, run, star train
Wow-wow
Wow-wow
I don’t want anything
Anytime, it’s always now
Wow, always at the starting line
Music is everything
The vast universe
Wow, run, star train
I don’t want anything
Anytime, it’s always now
Wow, always at the starting line
Music is everything
The vast universe
Wow, run, star train
Wow-wow, wow-wow-wow
Wow-wow, wow-wow-wow
Wow-wow, wow-wow-wow
Wow-wow, wow-wow-wow
