Kanji Lyrics[]
1 2 3!の合図で両手広げて 全身にひかりを集めて どこにあるの 教えて私にできること めいっぱい傷ついて せいいっぱい走って 何十\回転んで 泣いて それでもまだ あきれるくらい 明日を信じてる
ひとりになりたくて 少しだけ遠回りした 帰りの道 会いたい人の顔 いくつか浮かんで 雲の中に消えた
あの日交したことばが 今ごろスッとしみ込んで 少し痛いよ
1 2 3! ひとつずつ扉たたいて もうい一回胸に問いかけて 探してるの 本当に私がしたいこと めいいっぱい背伸びした反動でよろけて 何十\回振り出しに戻って クタクタでも そんな自分も 好きでいてあげたい
苦しくて 苦しくて 息ができなくなるときも 止まれない 止まりたくない ぜんぶ見届けるまで
1 2 3!の合図で空を見上げて 同じ星きみも見てて 感じてるよ ひとりだけどひとりじゃないって めいいっぱい傷ついて せいいっぱい走って 何十\回転んで 泣いて それでもまだ あきれるくらい 明日を信じる

English Translation[]
What should I do? The "normal things" are always so difficult for me. I just need to laugh when I'm happy, and sing when I'm in a good mood.
My wish will be eventually granted. But when exactly is "eventually"? I can't wait anymore!
I count to three, stretch out my arms and let the sun shine on me. Tell me, where can I find something I can do? I got hurt enough, and I've run as much as I could. I've stumbled over and over, and cried, yet I still believe in a better future.
I just wanted to be alone. So I decided to take a little detour on my way back. And there I've seen the person I wanted to see. But then he vanished into those few clouds floating by.
What we talked that day is really stuck deep in me. You know, it hurts a little.
One, two, three! I knock on every single door, and ask myself once again. I'm still looking for the thing I really want to do. I've overreached myself, and as such I stumble down. Even if I repeat this over and over, and get worn out, I still want to love that part of myself.
It's so painful. Even on those suffocating times, I can't stop. I just don't want to stop until I achieve my goal.
Counting to three, I look up at the sky. You should look at the same skies, too. I can feel that I'm not alone, even though there's only me. I got hurt enough, and I've run as much as I could. I've stumbled over and over, and cried, yet I still believe in a better future.
