Lyrics

Kanji=

当たり前のように こんなにも近くでつながってて 欠けるなんて思わないよ 決めつけられた狭い箱 ジタバタぶつかっても どうにもなんないことは わかり始めたし…

頭ん中めぐらせた 悲しませたくないから ただ、笑う顔が見たい(とても) 戦うための制服を着て 勇み足で教室へ進む 開け放つドアを信じ、進め！

あの日見た黄昏の空 照らす光は燃えるスカーレット 繋がるからこの空で 離れてもいつでも あたしたちだけの居場所で どんなときも共に集まろう 叫ぶ想いは　赤い夕焼けに…

この世界は生きづらくて 眉間にしわ寄せた 睨んだって変わらないね 試練は乗り越えるものと キレイごとばかりで 苛立つ指先には 文字が並んでた

苦しいときも 心はいつも正直でいたい 本音は伝えてほしい(君の) つまらないことは塗りつぶして 何でも吐き出せる仲間たち 雲間の向こうへ共に、行(ゆ)くよ！

あの日見た夕影(せきえい)の空 手招きした輝きスカーレット 1人じゃない 嘆くより声に出せばきっと 始まりをここで始める 思い出して今日も　いつの日も 見上げれば　微笑んだ夕焼けが…

夕間暮(ゆうまぐ)れを連れて帰るなら 怖くないよ　朝を迎えても 大事な大事な空は　一緒さ

あの日見た黄昏の空 照らす光は燃えるスカーレット 繋がるからこの空で 離れてもいつでも あたしたちだけの居場所で どんなときも共に集まろう 叫ぶ想いは　赤い夕焼けに…

As if it was already a given We were connected so near each other We never thought that it was lacking

In this predetermined narrow box Even if you struggle and bump into it The fact that I was helplessness was something I began to understand...

I kept it inside my mind Because I didn't want to make you sad It just, I wanted to see your smiling face (So much) Wearing my uniform for battle Recklessly, we'll head towards the classroom Believe that the door can be thrown open, onward!

The twilight sky that day The illuminating light was a burning scarlet Because this sky connects us Always, even if we're separated In this place that we can call our own let meet up here no matter what These feeling we want to shout out, towards this red sunset...

Living is difficult in this world My forehead is getting wrinkled It won't change even if you glare at it Trials are meant to be overcame Only saying pretty things In my infuriated fingertips The words formed

Even in hard times I want to always be true to my heart I want (you) to say what you really feel Paint over all those boring things My comrades who can say anything they want Together, let's head towards the back of the clouds Let's go!

That one special sky we saw that day It was a beckoning radiant scarlet You're not alone Rather than crying, if you let out your voice, surely, Start the beginning here Remember this today, remember this in any day When you look up, this smiling sunset will...

If you bring this twilight sky with you when you go home It won't be scary, even if you face the daylight We're together through this sky that we treasure so much

The twilight sky that day The illuminating light was a burning scarlet Because this sky connects us Always, even if we’re separated In this place that we can call our own Let's meet up here no matter what These feeling we want to shout out, towards this red sunset...
