Ta, la, la, la, la, la, la, ta, la, la, la, la, la, la

輝き出した 僕達を誰が止めることなど出来るだろう
はばたきだした 彼達を誰に 止める権利があったのだろう

よく口にしている よく夢に見ている
よく2人語ったりしている
"シアワセになりたい"って
もう何度めになるんだろう
一体何が欲しくて 一体何が不満で
一体どこへ向かうのとかって
聞かれても答えなんて
持ち合わせてないけどね

背中押す瞬間に
忘れないでいて この夏こそはと 交わした約束を

輝き出した 私達ならいつか明日をつかむだろう
はばたきだした 彼女たちなら光る明日を見つけるだろう

本当は期待してる 本当は疑ってる
何だって 誰だってそうでしょ
"イイヒト"って言われたって
"ドウデモイイヒト"みたい

朝焼けが眩しくて
やけに目にしみて 胸が苦しくて 少し戸惑ってた





輝き出した 僕達を誰が止めることなど出来るだろう
はばたきだした 彼達を誰に止める権利があったのだろう
