Left my room and jumped out the window

Left my room and jumped out the window

Right in front of me, a superstar I admired

The initial passion I drew in New York

Moved from the port town of Kawasaki to Tokyo

Stayed overnight in the city's streets

That song moved us all

Burning brightly in the ignition night

Outside is WHITE

Pure white keys, no way to reach the NICE KEY

Can't turn off HI-KEY

Before turning it off, the engine finally starts

Even if you go back to the beginning repeatedly

Repeatedly risking it all as a machine

My shine, day and night, in a daze

My hands and eyes gone wild, the right page

Suddenly knowing the excuses

The limits seen at the end of a dream

Continuing the race to survive

Marking the time for you to fulfill, LATE NIGHT

Open the garage, midnight races

Reviving those days' average

Inject hope into a V8 that roars

Fading with the flickering heat haze

Burned out once, but until recently

This fire of mine will never die

The heartbeat that revives, images coming back

Honestly, I was scared of the problem

Come on, let's burn that CELL, RIGHT

Discard the foolish pride and impulsiveness

Pistons roaring, ready for the tight corner

YOU START IT AGAIN

I still remember that excitement

Close your eyes and take that knee

A roar of cheers and excitement collide

A dream begins right before your eyes

The familiar sound of a beating heart

The effort and familiar loneliness

Shaking hands, sweat on my forehead

Send your expectations flying, blaming someone

The problem isn’t outside, it’s inside

Trust more than anyone else, make plans

Though I lack talent, I stand till the end

Someone laughs, someone cries

Dodging defeat that comes suddenly

There’s no arrogance, only this

Once you reach this point, it’s destiny

If you whine, you'll run away

But open the garage, stepping on the stage

Imagining one last move

Which race will I focus on?

Me, and my YEAH

Even if I burn out once, until recently

This fire of mine will not go out

The heartbeat returns, images revive

Honestly, I was scared of the problem

Come on, let's burn that CELL, RIGHT

Discard the foolish pride and impulsiveness

Pistons roaring, ready for the tight corner

YOU START IT AGAIN

When I knew no defeat

Adrenaline, full of cheers

If I can’t win anymore, just scrap metal

Still, I RUN FOREVER

Being here is proof enough

Close your eyes

That start is almost here

ALREADY KNOW, LET'S GO

Even if I burn out once, until recently

This fire of mine will not go out

The heartbeat returns, images revive

Honestly, I was scared of the problem

Come on, let's burn that CELL, RIGHT

Discard the foolish pride and impulsiveness

Pistons roaring, ready for the tight corner

YOU START IT AGAIN

部屋抜け出し窓から飛び出した

目の前には憧れたスーパースター

ニューヨークで描いた初期衝動

港町川崎から上京

寝泊まりをしていた都かした

あの曲が俺達を動かした

熱く燃やす着火NIGHT

外はWHITE

真っ白いキー 差せないNICE KEY

消せないHI-KEY

消す前にそのエンジン遂に開始

繰り返し振り出しに戻しても

繰り返し捨て身マシーン

このMY SHINE 昼夜瞑し

手も目も狂って正しいページ

いつの間にか知ってた弁解

夢の終わりに見えた限界

サバイブ続けるレースの続きを

てめえに果たす刻むLATE NIGHT

開けるガレージ夜中のレース

蘇るあの頃のアベレージ

希望いれるキシむV8

陽炎に揺れるFADE

一度燃え尽きようとも最近まで

コイツの火は消えない

再び宿る鼓動蘇る映像

ホントは怖かった問題

さあそのCELLを燃やそうRIGHT

下らねぇ意地を捨てた衝動

火目を上げるピストン詰まりくるコーナー

YOU START IT AGAIN

忘れちゃねぇあの興奮

目を閉じてあのヒザ取る

でけぇ歓声と興奮が交わり

夢が目の前今始まる

動く心臓慣れた音

努力の分慣れた孤独

震える手額に汗

期待飛ばせ誰かのせい

問題は外じゃなく内側

人一倍信じた取り計らい

才能はねぇが最後まで立つ

誰かが笑って誰かが泣く

よぎる負け打ちまかして

奢りはねぇこれしかねぇ

ここまでくればあとは定め

弱音を吐けば逃げ出して

でも開けるガレージ昇るステージ

あと一発詰めるイメージ

二つのレースどちらがせいす

俺と俺YEAH

一度燃え尽きようとも最近まで

コイツの火は消えない

再び宿る鼓動蘇る映像

ホントは怖かった問題

さあそのCELLを燃やそうRIGHT

下らねぇ意地を捨てた衝動

火目を上げるピストン詰まりくるコーナー

YOU START IT AGAIN

負け知らずな頃は

アドレナリンやばなで歓声

勝てなくなればただの鉄クズ

それでもI RUN FOREVER

ここにいることが証拠

目を閉じれば

そのスタートはもうすぐ

ALREADY KNOW LET'S GO

一度燃え尽きようとも最近まで

コイツの火は消えない

再び宿る鼓動蘇る映像

ホントは怖かった問題

さあそのCELLを燃やそうRIGHT

下らねぇ意地を捨てた衝動

火目を上げるピストン詰まりくるコーナー

YOU START IT AGAIN
