Romaji:

Musekaeru natsuiro to ryuusen wo tadoru youni

Egakikirenai modokashisa de mienai jibun wo sagashita

Te no hira no arifureta nichijou no enchou ni

Haruka kanata hirogatteiku kimi no mirai wo omotte

Dokoka de kimenakya ikenai oretachi no

Musuu ni narabeta sentakushi no mae de sorosoro kizuiteiru

Sorezore no ashidori de jibun rashisa no tochuu de yureru omoi otte

Kono michi no saki de matsu kotae ga nanda toshitemo

Sono ketsui ga tadashii koto utagawanai yo

Zutto kono mama nante kodomojimita negai wa

Tabun daremo ga sotto kokoro ni shimatteiku mono da ne

Mayowazu susumeru senaka wo oretachi wa

Itsudemo mabushiku mitsumeteita kedo sorosoro jikan nanda

Sorezore no ashiato ga nami ni sarawarete kieru mahiru no shinkirou

Dakedo mou kowakunai kono hibi ga hajimari nara

Dokomademo ikesou datte kokoro kara omou

Sorezore no ashidori de jibun rashisa no tochuu de yureru omoi otte

Kono michi no saki de matsu kotae ga nanda toshitemo

Sono ketsui ga tadashii koto utagawanai yo

Kanji:

むせかえる夏色と　流線を辿るように

描ききれないもどかしさで　見えない自分を探した

手のひらのありふれた　日常の延長に

遥か彼方広がっていく　君の未来を思って

どこかで決めなきゃいけない　俺たちの

無数に並べた選択肢の前で　そろそろ気づいている

それぞれの足取りで　自分らしさの途中で　揺れる思い追って

この道の先で待つ　コタエが何だとしても

その決意が正しいこと　疑わないよ

ずっとこのままなんて　子供じみた願いは

多分誰もがそっと心に　しまっていくものだね

迷わず進める背中を　俺たちは

いつでも眩しく見つめていたけど　そろそろ時間なんだ

それぞれの足あとが　波にさらわれて消える　真昼の蜃気楼

だけどもう怖くない　この日々がはじまりなら

どこまでも行けそうだって　心から思う

それぞれの足取りで　自分らしさの途中で　揺れる思い追って

この道の先で待つ　コタエが何だとしても

その決意が正しいこと　疑わないよ

English:

Just like chasing the streamline in the intoxicating summer colours

I was searching for myself who was lost in the indescribable frustration

In the never-ending extension of our usual everyday

I thought about your future spreading in the distance

We need to make a decision somewhere

Faced with the countless choices, we have begun to realize

Going at our own pace and being our own selves, we are pursuing our wavering feelings

No matter what answer awaits ahead on this path

I won’t doubt the rightness of that decision

“I wish we could stay this way forever” is a childish wish

That probably everyone seals in their hearts

We always gazed at the radiance,

Of the back going forward without wavering, but it’s almost time now

Our footprints disappear with the waves like a midday mirage

But I’m not afraid anymore, because if these days are the beginning

I feel as if we can go anywhere, from the bottom of my heart

Going at our own pace and being our own selves, we are pursuing our wavering feelings

No matter what answer awaits ahead on this path

I won’t doubt the rightness of that decision
