Lyrics
| ! | ! |
| Japanese | Romaji | English |
| I wish light 明日は晴れるかな | I wish light Ashita wa hareru ka na | I wish for light. Wondering whether it will be sunny tomorrow, |
| なんて てるてる坊主を作る | nante teruteru bōzu o tsukuru | I make a fine-weather doll,1 |
| 雨音背にして... | amaoto se ni shite … | putting the sound of rain behind me … |
| 幼い頃読んだ絵本開き | Osanai koro yonda ehon hiraki | I opened a picture book that I read when I was little. |
| 溶け出すしまいこんだ思い出 | tokedasu shimaikonda omoide | Memories that I had put away safe are starting to melt away. |
| 戻れぬ扉いつの間に消えて | Modorenu tobira itsunomani kiete | The gate through which I cannot return vanished before I knew it, |
| 道標今、探して | michishirube ima, sagashite | and I'm now looking for a guidepost. |
| 時計の針は気づかず進む | Tokei no hari wa kizukazu susumu | The hands of the clock advance without me noticing, |
| 子供のままでいたいと幾度嘆いても | kodomo no mama de itai to ikudo nageite mo | no matter how often I complain that I want to stay a child. |
| 僕らは日毎に大人になってく | Bokura wa higoto ni otona ni natte'ku | Each passing day we're growing up towards adulthood. |
| 君は笑うの？いつまでも縋りつきたい僕を | Kimi wa warau no? itsu made mo sugaritsukitai boku o | Are you laughing at me, me who wants to hang on forever? |
| Day by day 唄う言ノ葉 | Day by day utau kotonoha | Day by day I recite lyrics |
| 無意味だと知ってても | muimi da to shitte'te mo | even though I know they're meaningless. |
| 未だ雨は止まなくて 傘から滴る水 | Imada ame wa yamanakute kasa kara shitataru mizu | The rain still doesn't stop and water drips from my umbrella. |
| でもDay by day 綴る言ノ葉 | Demo day by day tsuzuru kotonoha | But day by day, I compose lyrics |
| 無意味だと知ってても | muimi da to shitte'te mo | even though I know they're meaningless. |
| 出口は分からないけれど 僕はずっと走るだけ | Deguchi wa wakaranai keredo boku wa zutto hashiru dake | I don't know where the exit is, but all I do is keep on running. |
| クローゼットに入れた青い春は | Kurōzetto ni ireta aoi haru wa | The blue springtime I put in the closet2 |
| あの日と変わらず僕を見つめる | ano hi to kawarazu boku o mitsumeru | stares at me, unchanged since that day. |
| 黒がいつまでも似合わない分 | Kuro ga itsu made mo niawanai bun | As much as black will never suit me,3 |
| 不安だけが鏡に映る | fuan dake ga kagami ni utsuru | so too uneasiness is reflected in the mirror. |
| 誰が言ったんだ未来は明るい | Dare ga itta n da Mirai wa akarui | Who was it that said it? “The future is bright?” |
| どんな時代でも人は自分が一番大事 | Donna jidai de mo hito wa jibun ga ichiban daiji | “Regardless the era, a person will always put themselves first.” |
| 分かってるさ、そんなつまらない事を | Wakatte'ru sa, sonna tsumaranai koto o | Sure I get them, pointless facts like that. |
| 君は笑うの？どこまでも尻込みし続ける僕を | Kimi wa warau no? doko made mo shirigomi shitsuzukeru boku o | Are you laughing at me, me who always keeps hesitating? |
| Day by day 霞む視界は | Day by day kasumu shikai wa | Day by day my field of view is getting hazy— |
| 君だって同じだろう？ | kimi datte onaji darō? | I bet it's the same with you? |
| 月曜日の朝礼も二度と訪れない過去 | Getsuyōbi no chōrei mo nidoto otozurenai kako | The times we had Monday morning assembly will never come again. |
| でもDay by day 信じてるんだ | Demo day by day shinjite'ru n da | But day by day I believe it. |
| あの日々があったからこそ | Ano hibi ga atta kara koso | I feel like those days we had are the very reason |
| 君と出会えた気がしてる くだらない戯言かな | kimi to deaeta ki ga shite'ru Kudaranai tawagoto ka na | that I got to meet you. I wonder if that's stupid nonsense. |
| いつか足下見ずに 歩けるようになるのかな | Itsuka ashimoto mizu ni arukeru yō ni naru no ka na | I wonder if some day I'll be able to walk without looking down at my feet. |
| いつか君を本当に 愛せる日が来るのかな | Itsuka kimi o hontō ni aiseru hi ga kuru no ka na | I wonder if the day will ever come when I can love you truly. |
| いつか後悔せずに 笑える日が来るのかな | Itsuka kōkai sezu ni waraeru hi ga kuru no ka na | I wonder if the day will ever come when I can smile without any regret. |
| 拭えぬ不安は この歌で一緒に消してしまおう | Nuguenu fuan wa kono uta de issho ni keshite shimaō | The uneasiness I can't wipe away, let's get rid of it together completely with this song. |
| Day by day 月は巡れど | Day by day tsuki wa muguredo | Day by day though the months pass |
| ここにいる僕たちは | koko ni iru bokutachi wa | we who are here |
| 皆平等に訪れる 明日を待っている | mina byōdō ni otozureru ashita o matte iru | are waiting for tomorrow which comes equally to all. |
| だからDay by day 涙零さず | Dakara day by day namida kobosazu | So day by day instead of shedding tears |
| しゃんとして前を見る | shanto shite mae o miru | we'll look straight ahead. |
| 忘れないでこの歌は いつだって君の味方 | Wasurenaide kono uta wa itsu datte kimi no mikata | Don't forget it, this song will always be your ally. |

Notes
1 A teruteru bōzu is a paper doll made for praying for fine weather.
2 "Blue springtime" indicates a time of immaturity, or possibly suggests a fresh start.
3 "Black" probably suggests a business suit.
