すぐに届きそうな理想より
More than ideals that seem within reach

Thinking I understand
それは頭の中でだけで
It's only in my mind,
何も解らないままで
Without understanding anything,

If you're scared, just stay there,
そこに居るなら泣かないで
If you're there, don't cry,
だって可愛いのは
Because what's most adorable,
笑顔が一番でしょ？
Is a smile, isn't it?

So I want to keep smiling,
溢れだす想いを
With overflowing feelings,
自由過ぎる空へ
Into the sky so free,
解き放たれる時が来たら
When the time comes to be set free,
君は笑ってくれるの...？
Will you smile for me...?
今 叶わないことのない
Right now, there's nothing unachievable,
夢だけを 夢見てゆくの
I’m dreaming only of dreams,
不確かな未来を走るから
Running into an uncertain future,
だからずっと捨てられずにいるの
So I can't let go forever,
届くなら 受け止めて
If it reaches you, then please catch it.
届いたら 無理にも抱いて
If it arrives, hold me even if it's forced,
だって悲しいのは
Because being sad is,
もう沢山なんでしょ？
Already too much, isn't it?
だから今すぐ笑ってよ
So please, smile right now.
