Kanji Romaji English let's go out! open my mind let's go! sweet dream other side 今　解き放つ籠の外へ 錆び付いた鍵　鳴り止まぬ鼓動 気づいてた “もう...戻れない” 失われた日々が (Hey baby why?) 蒼く繋がってく (I want to cry…) 怖がる自分に負けたくないよ 運命から逃げない “ひとりじゃない” そばにいる たとえどんなに 哀しい夢だとしてもかまわない 君の涙に触れたいよ… baby I pray… “信じて” 冷たい記憶の闇 切り裂いて 傷ついた翼(はね)　休ませる泉 飛び込むすべが　わからなくて 退屈な場所　苛立ちや不安 僕らは今日も悩むけど 暗い空を見上げ (Baby…for you) 進む　顔を上げて (I'm here for you) 飽くなき想いを鞄に詰めて 踏み出す　心の闇を振り払い 責める雨の音　悲しくなるなら 優しい君の盾になる 信じることをやめないで always I pray… その瞳に 小さな奇跡を映してみせて ah… ah… ah… ah… (Hey baby why?… I want to cry… Hey baby why? Hey baby why?… I want to cry… I'm here for you… yeah… ! believe yourself) そばにいる そこがどんなに 哀しい夢の中でもかまわない 同じ瞬間を生きていたい with U... I pray… “答えて” もし許されるなら 君の涙に触れたいよ... baby I pray… “信じて” 冷たい記憶の闇 切り裂いて let's go out open my mind let's go sweet dream other side ima tokihanatsu kago no soto e sabitsuita kagi nariyamanu kodou kizuiteta mou modorenai ushinawareta hibi ga Hey baby why aoku tsunagatteku I want to cry kowagaru jibun ni maketakunai yo unmei kara nigenai hitori ja nai soba ni iru tatoe donna ni kanashii yume da to shite mo kamawanai kimi no namida ni furetai yo baby I pray shinjite tsumetai kioku no yami kirisaite kizutsuita hane yasumaseru izumi tobikomu sube ga wakara nakute taikutsu na basho iradachi ya fuan bokura wa kyou mo nayamu kedo kurai sora o miage Baby for you susumu kao o agete I'm here for you aku naki omoi o kaban ni tsumete fumidasu kokoro no yami o furiharai semeru ame no oto kanashiku naru nara yasashii kimi no tate ni naru shinjiru koto o yamenaide always I pray sono me ni chiisana kiseki o utsushite misete ah ah ah ah Hey baby why I want to cry Hey baby why Hey baby why I want to cry I'm here for you yeah believe yourself soba ni iru soko ga donna ni kanashii yume no naka demo kamawanai onaji toki o ikiteitai with U I pray kotaete moshi yurusareru nara kimi no namida ni furetai yo baby I pray shinjite tsumetai kioku no yami kirisaite Let's go out! Open my mind Let's go! Sweet dream other side Now, I release it outside its cage Rusted keys, beats that have stopped resounding I was realizing "I can't return anymore" The lost days (Hey baby why?) are going to be connected immaturely (I want to cry...) I don't want to lose to my fearful self I won't run away from my fate, "I'm not alone" I'll be by your side no matter how sad a dream it is, I don't mind I want to be touched by your tears... baby I pray... "believe" Tear the darkness of your cold memories to pieces Injured wings, relaxing springs I don't understand the means of plunging in Boring places, irritation and anxiety Even today, we're still troubled, but... Look up at the dark sky (Baby... for you) Advance, lift your face (I'm here for you) Pack your persistent thoughts into a suitcase Step forward, shake off the darkness of your heart If you become sad from the condemning sound of rain I will become a shield for the kind you Don't stop believing, always, I pray...in your eyes a small miracle will be reflected Ah... ah... ah... ah... (Hey baby why?... I want to cry... Hey baby why? Hey baby why?... I want to cry... I'm here for you... yeah...! Believe yourself) I'll be by your side no matter how sad a dream that place is in, I don't mind I want to live the same moments with U... I pray... "answer me" If it is allowed I want to be touched by your tears... baby I pray... "believe" Tear the darkness of your cold memories to pieces
