[English]

Another day, Another life

I wanna live it to the fullest

A little work, A lotta play

Alright

足跡 たどり行き着く場所

なぞるだけが僕の 人生じゃない

We'll never be as young as we are now

You say it's all right, You say it's OK

It's up to you? Is that the truth? Tell me

I'm feeling used with no one to save me

You say it's all right

Does that make it OK?

What's best for you, Is less for me

It's my decision

...

消える前 光る前 変わらない

分からないままじゃ絶対終われない

We'll never be as young as we are now

You say it's all right, You say it's OK

It's up to you? Is that the truth? Tell me

I'm feeling used with no one to save me

You say it's all right

Does that make it OK?

What's best for you, Is less for me

It's my decision

...

Never Never Never Never Again

It's my life my life my life my life to live

...

You say it's all right, You say it's OK

It's up to you? Is that the truth? Tell me

I'm feeling used with no one to save me

They say it's all right

Does that make it OK?

What's best for them, Not listening

It's my decision

...
