変わりたいのシグナル
一緒なら見つけ出せるよ きっと
心のピンクトルマリン☆
泣き虫なわたしだけど
君とならニッコリ笑顔になる
はじめましてのキモチたち
さっきまでとはなにか違う
運命?引力?引き寄せてく
変わる予感響いてる
ドキドキと手を繋いで
未来の私 どんな表情で
君と過ごしてますか?
未来は行方知れずで
立ち止まってばっかダメダメだけど
君がくれたコトバたち
私に勇気をくれたんだ
自分の足で歩かなきゃ
YES or Noなんて答えらんないよ
「はしゃぎだす瞬間が
変わりたいのシグナル
一緒なら見つけ出せるよ きっと」
昨日までとはなにか違う
運命?引力?引き寄せてく
君を見た瞬間に
世界は色づいたんだ
涙は強くなるための魔法
成長のシルシさ
変わる予感響いてる
ドキドキと手を繋いで
夢見るパワー無限大 行くよ
心にピンクトルマリン
気付かせてくれたんだ
