坂道を見ていたせいで

Because I was looking at the slope

眼の奥が痛む

My eyes ache

風を受け止まったせいで

Because I caught the wind

足首が痛む

My ankles hurt

時折夜道が怖いなら

If the night road scares you sometimes

Step forward

肩を鳴らせ

Crack your shoulders

真っ赤になるまでアクセル踏み込んで

Step on the gas until it turns bright red

それじゃ足りないまだ

That's still not enough

クタクタになれ

Get completely worn out

きっと航路に立っている

Surely, I'm standing on the route

真っ赤になっても涙を飲み込んで

Even if I turn bright red, I'll swallow my tears

もう気にしないでいよう

Let's not worry about it anymore

Let's keep glaring

Jump out

I've surpassed my limits

と彼の頬が言っていた

And his cheek said that
