Runners High

Lyrics: HARUNA
Music: Yuichi Tajika
Arrangement: Yu Odakura

Going about everyday just sighing
Repeating questions with no "answers"
Standing still and then looking down - you'll have days like that
But close your eyes and the shining signal always says

"Move forward"
Is that so...
"Don't run away"
Let's keep on running

If I fix upon the limits
Then the buzzer signaling the end will sound
As if laughing at me
The scenery I see when I climb this hill
Will be the goal tape and start line
The future is waiting

Anxiety weakens the heart without warning
You get scared of the vaulting horse you should be able to leap over
And before you know it you're standing in the back
And you're just watching the figures of others leaping

"Are you okay with that?"
Wait a minute
"You still have time"
Feelings begin to move

Even if you long and hope for it
There are things you can't get to
Yeah, everyone knows that
But, nevertheless, if you don't struggle
I'm sure nothing will change
Believe in yourself

Let's go so we don't blame someone else
So we don't have regrets
And so we can laugh in the end

If I fix upon the limits
Then the buzzer signaling the end will sound
As if laughing at me
The scenery I see when I climb this hill
Will be the goal tape and start line
Believe in yourself
The future is waiting

ため息ばかりついて　過ぎていく　毎日に
「答え」のない問いかけを繰り返して
立ち止まって　うつむく日もあるけど
瞼を閉じて光るシグナルはいつも

「マエニ　ススメ　キミハ」
そんなもんかよ
「ニゲチャ　ダメダ」
走り続けよう

限界だって　決めつけちゃったら
終わりを告げるブザーがなるんだ
僕を笑うかのように
この坂をのぼって見える景色が
ゴールテープでスタートラインさ
未来が待ってる

不安は予感もなく心を弱らせてく
飛べてたはずの跳び箱も怖くなって
いつのまにか　こんなに　列の後ろ
誰かの飛ぶ姿眺めているよ

「キミハ　ソレデ　イイノ」
ちょっと待ってよ
「マダ　マニアウ」
動き出す気持ち

憧れたって　望んでたって
辿り着けないこともあるんだ
そう　誰もが知ってる
でも　だからと言ってもがいていなきゃ
きっと何も変わりゃしないんだ
自分を信じて

誰かのせいにしないように
後悔したりしないように
最後に笑えるように　行こう

限界だって　決めつけちゃったら
終わりを告げるブザーがなるんだ
僕を笑うかのように
この坂をのぼって見える景色が
ゴールテープでスタートラインさ
自分を信じて
未来が待ってる
