また朝まで (また朝まで)
過ごす中で幸せ願ってる
空の彼方へ (空の彼方へ)

空は青く日差しが挿し
眩しく見える涙が
何故なんだろう君なんだろう
何故離れられないんだろう

Obviously the original version of a song will always be considered superior to any covers. But there's nothing wrong if people prefer enhypen's version too. They switched up the instrumental and brought in their own flavor, which some people might like more. I just hope armys don't start attacking them for being honest.
