| lang="ja" | <ab>誰より高く 誰より遠く
道の途中
君がいなくたって大丈夫
空を仰ぐ
いつの日か答え合わせをしよう
涙も枯れきったいつかの様に 守る為に付く傷は誇り
夢から覚めて全て元通り いやその先に立つのさゴールは遠い
怖くても 寂しくても 自分に火をつける理由を見つけろ
また巡り合うその日まではこの痛みが宝物になるだろ？
騒ぎ出す (Yeah)
この鼓動が歌うんだ (Yeah)
僕を止めないで
誰かじゃなくて
そうさ僕のままで
I gotcha (Yeah)
それじゃまた会う日まで…</ab>
| <ab>Dare yori takaku Dare yori tōku
Michi no tochū
Kimi ga inakutatte daijōbu
Sora o aogu
Itsunohika kotaeawase o shiyō
Namida mo kare kitta itsuka no yō ni Mamoru tame ni tsuku kizu wa hokori
Yume kara samete subete motodōri Iya sono saki ni tatsu no sa gōru wa tōi
Kowakute mo Sabishikute mo Jibun ni hi o tsukeru riyū o mitsukero
Mata meguriau sono hi made wa Kono itami ga takaramono ni naru daro?
Sawagidasu (Yeah)
Kono kodō ga utaunda (Yeah)
Boku o tomenai de
Dareka janakute
Sō sa boku no mama de
I gotcha (Yeah)
Sore ja mata au hi made…</ab>
| <ab>Higher than anyone, farther than anyone 
On the road
I'll be fine even when you're not here
Looking up to the sky
We'll have our answers someday
Tears dried up just like that one day, as I bear these battle scars with pride
Everything goes back to normal when I wake up. No, my goal lies ahead there, still so far away
Even if I'm feeling scared or lonely, I must find the reason to ignite myself into action
Until we meet again, this bit of pain will be something you'd treasure, right?
Let's make some noise (Yeah)
My heart beats to a song (Yeah)
Don't stop me
Not gonna let anyone do that
Yeah, just gonna be myself
I gotcha (Yeah)
Until we meet again...

I gotcha (Yeah)
それじゃまた会う日まで…
もう一回 あと一つトライ
遠く尊く身を焦がし
想像の向こうに足伸ばし
立ち止まる暇なんてないお互い
わかんなくてこんがらがって
悩んだって間違ったって
ほらまっすぐ前を向きスタンバイ
まだ戦っていたい I'm ready for it
約束一つが
覚悟をくれるんだ
涙の味も
忘れないでいたい
僕らは またいつか
巡り会うから
振り向かない
その時が来る日まで
騒ぎ出す (Yeah)
この鼓動が歌うんだ (Yeah)
僕を止めないで
誰かじゃなくて
そうさ僕のままで
I gotcha (Yeah)
それじゃまた会う日まで…
いつだって一緒だったんだ
間違ってないと知ったんだ
瞬間のLife 過去は遥か向こうへ
I wonder why 誰も見えない可能性
正解はない だからこそ探そうぜ
たらればなんて興味もないね
いつでも選んで進むMy way
騒ぎ出す (Yeah)
この鼓動が歌うんだ (Yeah)
僕を止めないで
誰かじゃなくて
そうさ僕のままで
I gotcha (Yeah)
僕たちは最後まで…</ab>

I gotcha (Yeah)
Until we meet again...
One more time, give me another try
Go farther, be nobler, try it for all its worth
Stretch those legs beyond the imagination
There's no time to stop for either of us
Having no clue and feeling so confused
Even if I'm worried or mistaken
Stand by and face forward
I still want to fight. I'm ready for it.
This one promise
gives me the resolve
I don't want to forget
the taste of tears
We'll meet again
someday
I won't look back
Until that day comes
Let's make some noise (Yeah)
My heart beats to a song (Yeah)
Don't stop me
Not gonna let anyone do that
Yeah, just gonna be myself
I gotcha (Yeah)
Until we meet again...
We were always together
I know that I'm not wrong
Life in the moment, the past is far off away from us
I wonder why, the possibilities no one could see
There is no right answer, so we have to seek it out ourselves
I'm not interested in what-ifs
I'll always choose to go my way forward
Let's make some noise (Yeah)
My heart beats to a song (Yeah)
Don't stop me
Not gonna let anyone do that
Yeah, just gonna be myself
I gotcha (Yeah)
Until we meet again...</ab>
