 遠い遠い昔にもここにいたような気がする
 夕日が彩った放課後の教室 
 切りすぎた前髪を指差し笑うみんなと
  tooi tooi mukashi ni mo koko ni ita you na ki ga suru
  yuuhi ga irodotta houkago no kyoushitsu
  kirisugita maegami wo yubisashiwarau minna to
     I feel like I was here
     A long, long time ago
     In this classroom after school
     Painted by the setting sun
     With everyone who pointed and laughed
     At my bangs that were cut too short

 僕が僕であるためにと
 がむしゃら前だけ見てきた
 他愛もないこの時間に
 守られてるって気づきもしないで
  boku ga boku de aru tame ni to
  gamushara mae dake mite kita
  ta'ai mo nai kono jikan ni
  mamorarete'ru tte kidzuki mo shinaide
     For me to be me
     I've always kept my eyes fixed in front of me
     Not even realizing that these innocent times
     Were really protecting me

 誰だってそれぞれに向かう座標違うけれど
 今はそう寄せ合ったココロ同じだね
  dare datte sorezore ni mukau zahyou chigau keredo
  ima wa sou yoseatta KOKORO onaji da ne
     Everyone is headed
     In all sorts of different directions
     But right now, our hearts have come together
     And they're one, aren't they...

 長い道いつまでもつかず離れずいれたら
  nagai michi itsu made mo tsukazu hanarezu iretara
     If I can be with you forever on this long road
     Staying neither too close nor too far away...

 君が君であるためには
 何を望み夢見る?
 僕に出来ることはすべて
 用意してるよ口じゃ言えなくても
  kimi ga kimi de aru tame ni wa
  nani wo nozomi yume miru?
  boku ni dekiru koto wa subete
  youi shite'ru yo kuchi ja ienakutemo
     For you to be you
     What do you wish for in your dreams?
     Everything that I can do
     I'm preparing now for you, though I can't tell you

 少しずつ時は流れる
 前髪僕のまぶたに
 ふれる頃もきっとかわらぬ
 夕焼けがみんなを包んで
 僕が僕であるためにと
 何かを探し続けた
 他愛もないこの時間が
 答えだと知った　これからもずっと･･･
  sukoshizutsu toki wa nagareru
  maegami boku no mabuta ni
  fureru koro mo kitto kawaranu
  yuuyake ga minna wo tsutsunde
  boku ga boku de aru tame ni to
  nanika wo sagashitsudzuketa
  ta'ai mo nai kono jikan ga
  kotae da to shitta  kore kara mo zutto...
     Time trickles by drop by drop
     My bangs now brush my eyelids as time seems to stop
     The sunset envelops everyone...
     For me to be me
     I've always been searching for something
     But these innocent times hold the answer
     I know it, forevermore...
