飛び出そうなんて言うから
ひたすらに 走り続けてみたの
ちょっと待って
息切れしそうなんだけど
なんでかな? 甘い気持ちが
溢れ出そうなの
穏やかだったEveryday(Everyday)
あの日 君が 突然に 現れたから
止まらない この気持ち
大きな希望と夢抱いて
叶わない なんて 言い訳にしないで
何気ない 日常に
ほんとの意味があると言うなら
わかる時が来ると 信じてたい
無限の可能性を 飛び越えて
ほんのちょっと
くじけそうなんて時は
ハニかんだ その笑顔 見ていたの
ふっとした しぐさ一つ一つに
なんでかな? 知らないキモチ
生まれ始めるよ
ひとりじゃないよ Anyday(Anyday)
太陽の下で
うれしい たのしい あたたかい
笑顔になるね
止まらない トキメキは
大きな世界の真ん中で
夢みたい なんて 口癖にしないで
この広い 青空も

待っているの?
無限の可能性を 飛び越えよう
