Kanji//

歩き疲れたとか　帰りたくないとか
鏡の前で渋って
明日やればいいや　今日は眠いからと
この後の自分に頼って

期待された姿ばかり誰かに重ねて忘れ

夢を見ていたあの頃は　誰かに憧れていられた
現実なんて知らなければ　誰でも遠くまで飛べるから
夢の中では

歩くことの意味を　帰ることの意味を
考えないようにして
昨日やり残した今日はもう来なくて
だからいつも諦める

理想的な “カタチ” だけを誰かに求めていたんだ

強がっても　強がっても
なにもできなくて
戦っても　戦っても
どこにも逃げられない

それでも立ち止まらないよ
飛べなくても希望にたどりつける

憧れること忘れない 目指した場所は夢見鳥
現実なんて乗り越える　本当の姿を魅せるから

夢を見ていたあの頃は　誰かに憧れていられた
現実なんて知らなければ　誰でも遠くまで飛べるから

夢を見続けたあの鳥は　誰かに憧れていたんだ
現実なんて追いつけない　速さで　高度で　飛んで行け
夢の外でも


English//

Feeling tired of walking, feeling like I don't want to go back
I stand reluctantly in front of the mirror
I'll put things off until tomorrow because I'm too tired today
After that, trying to rely on myself

Forget the numerous expectations imposed by someone else

Back then, I had a dream of being needed by someone
If you ignore reality, anyone can fly far away
In a dream

What it means to move on, what it means to return
I didn't think about things like that
I left yesterday hanging, so today didn't come
So like always, I give up

I was just searching for someone who fit my ideals

Though I made myself stronger and stronger
There was nothing I could do
Though I fought and fought
There was nowhere for me to run

Even so, I refuse to stand still
Even if I can't fly, I still may be able to reach hope

Don't forget that which you longed for, the place you aimed for, dreaming bird
Go and surpass the likes of reality
Because you need to show your true form

Back then, I had a dream of being needed by someone
If you ignore reality, anyone can fly far away

Those birds who continue to dream will find someone who needs them
Things like reality can't keep up with them as they go quickly, advancing, taking flight
Even out from their dreams
