Kimi ga hashiru sono ato kara

Boku wa hashiru zen sokuryoku de

Asufaruto o kaze no youni

Hikitomeyou to oikaketeta

Nani o gokai shita no darou

Kyuu ni pui to senaka mukete

Ponii teiru yurashi nagara

Kimi wa igai ni ashi ga hayai

Shingou ga aka ni kawattara

Youyaku yatto oitsukeru ka

Sore demo narande mushi suru ka

Idaten musume nani kara nigeru? Sou shinjitsu wa koko ni aru nda

Kikitai koto wa subete kikeba ii mou donna koto mo hanashite yaru

Idaten musume doko made iku no? Nee hanashi kurai kiite kure yo

Okoritai nara okotte ii kara mou tsugi no kado de tomatte kure

Shinzou ga bakuhatsu shisou

Boku o jitto niramitsukete

Naze ni namida nagashita no ka?

Marude imi ga wakaranakute

Mune ga bakubaku myaku o utsu yo

Aijou ga sameta no de wa nakute

Kanjou no muki ga kawatta ka?

Honto no kimochi o tamesu no ka?

Shunsoku haato doushite isogu? Sou ketsuron wa daiji na koto ka?

Awatenakute mo gouru wa onaji saa toumawari mo tanoshimou ze

Shunsoku haato dou suru tsumori? Nee egao kurai misete kure yo

Konna toko made hashitte kita saa kisu no hitotsu houbi ni kure

Futsuu wa tachidomaru yo aruku kamo shirenai shi

Suki de nakya hashiranai

Kimi wa dou yuu tsumori da? (aa)

Idaten musume nani kara nigeru? Sou shinjitsu wa koko ni aru nda

Kikitai koto wa subete kikeba ii mou donna koto mo hanashite yaru

Idaten musume doko made iku no? Nee hanashi kurai kiite kure yo

Okoritai nara okotte ii kara mou tsugi no kado de tomatte kure

Shinzou ga bakuhatsu shisou

君が走るその後から

僕は走る全速力で

アスファルトを風のように

引き留めようと追いかけてた

何を誤解したのだろう

急にプイと背中向けて

ポニーテール揺らしながら

君は意外に足が速い

信号が赤に変わったら

ようやくやっと追いつけるか

それでも並んで無視するか

韋駄天娘　何から逃げる？そう　真実はここにあるんだ

聞きたいことはすべて聞けばいい　もう　どんなことも話してやる

韋駄天娘　どこまで行くの？ねえ　話くらい聞いてくれよ

怒りたいなら怒っていいから　もう　次の角で止まってくれ

心臓が爆発しそう

僕をじっと睨みつけて

なぜに涙流したのか？

まるで意味がわからなくて

胸がばくばく脈を打つよ

愛情が醒めたのではなくて

感情の向きが変わったか？

ホントの気持ちを試すのか？

俊足ハート　どうして急ぐ？そう　結論は大事なことか？

慌てなくても　ゴールは同じ　さあ　遠回りも楽しもうぜ

俊足ハート　どうするつもり？ねえ　笑顔くらい見せてくれよ

こんなとこまで走って来た　さあ　キスのひとつ褒美にくれ

普通は立ち止まるよ　歩くかもしれないし

好きでなきゃ走らない

君はどういうつもりだ？(ああ)

韋駄天娘　何から逃げる？そう　真実はここにあるんだ

聞きたいことはすべて聞けばいい　もう　どんなことも話してやる

韋駄天娘　どこまで行くの？ねえ　話くらい聞いてくれよ

怒りたいなら怒っていいから　もう　次の角で止まってくれ

心臓が爆発しそう

Coming from your behind

I'm running at full speed

Like wind over the asphalt road

Trying to catch up with you and hold you back

Did you misunderstand, I wonder?

Suddenly, you snubbed and turned your back

While your ponytail sways

You're an unexpectedly fast runner

If the traffic light turns red

I could finally be able to catch up with you

If we were side-by-side

Would you still ignore me?

Idaten Musume, what are you running from? Yes, the truth is right here

It's fine to ask everything you want to ask me about. Come on, I can tell you anything

Idaten Musume, how far will you go? Hey, won't you at least listen to me?

If you want to get mad, then go ahead and get mad. Come on, please stop at the next corner

My heart is about to explode

You're quietly glaring at me

what's the reason for the tears?

I don't even get what that means

my chest is thumping, my pulse is racing

Is it awakening from the affection

or did it change it's direction?

Is this testing my true feelings?

Swift-Footed Heart, what's the rush? Is the conclusion that important?

Even without the rush, the goal is the same, the scenic route is fun too

Swift-Footed Heart, what do you want to do? Hey, show me a smile, at least

We already ran all the way over here, so, reward me with a single kiss?

It's normal to stop, or walk, maybe

If you're not in love, you wouldn't be running

What are you even trying to do? (Ah)

Idaten Musume, what are you running from? Yes, the truth is right here

It's fine to ask everything you want to ask me about. Come on, I can tell you anything

Idaten Musume, how far will you go? Hey, won't you at least listen to me?

If you want to get mad, then go ahead and get mad. Come on, please stop at the next corner

My heart is about to explode
