[Verse 1]
Ages ago, like pages of fairy tales
Every pain, self-contained, written by memory
古ぼけた約束じゃあなく
明日の為の記憶さ
[Pre-Chorus]
争うことに疲れたのなら
There’s gotta be more
Still unexplored, so follow—
[Chorus]
まだ知らないトビラを開けて
美しい世界を見に行こう
この瞬間さえ過去になる
歩き続ける限り
Nothing strange about straying, if you’re true to who you are
When one story has ended, 'round the bend’s a whole new start
With this map in my hand, wanderlust inside my heart
Seeking still that out-of-reach Great Beyond!
新しい地図は真っ白でも
目の前には A new start
[Verse 2]
Ages ago, like pages of story books
Flip, re-write, days and nights, endless monotony
繰り返しの毎日から
抜け出すための一歩目さ
[Pre-Chorus]
何も変わらない退屈を捨て
There’s gotta be more
Waiting in store, I’ll find it—
[Chorus]
怖いことも託さなるし
汚れてしまうかもしれないけど
何もないままで枯れるより
傷ついてたいから
All my loneliest days are self-reflection filled and warm
Not too far and away, the next direction’s taking form
Even if it's been done, though I don't remember when
Let it feel like the first time again
終わらない旅に出かけよう
探してるのは A new start
[Pre-Chorus]
誰かじゃなくて自分のために
These are the sands,
On which it began, so long ago
[Chorus]
まだ知らないトビラを開けて
美しい世界を見に行こう
この瞬間さえ過去になる
歩き続ける限り
Nothing strange about straying, if you’re true to who you are
When one story has ended, 'round the bend’s a whole new start
With this map in my hand, wanderlust inside my heart
Seeking still that out-of-reach Great Beyond!
新しい地図は彩られ
その手の中に A new start

[Verse 1]
Ages ago, like pages of fairy tales
Every pain, self-contained, written by memory
Furuboketa yakusoku janaku
Asu no tame no kioku sa
[Pre-Chorus]
Arasou koto ni tsukareta no nara
There’s gotta be more
Still unexplored, so follow—
[Chorus]
Mada shiranai tobira o akete
Utsukushii sekai o mi ni ikou
Kono shunkan sae kako ni naru
Arukitsuzukeru kagiri
Nothing strange about straying, if you’re true to who you are
When one story has ended, 'round the bend’s a whole new start
With this map in my hand, wanderlust inside my heart
Seeking still that out-of-reach Great Beyond!
Atarashii chizu wa masshiro demo
Me no mae ni wa A new start
[Verse 2]
Ages ago, like pages of story books
Flip, re-write, days and nights, endless monotony
Kurikaeshi no mainichi kara
Nukedasu tame no ippo me sa
[Pre-Chorus]
Nani mo kawaranai taikutsu o sute
There’s gotta be more
Waiting in store, I’ll find it—
[Chorus]
Kowai koto mo takusan aru shi
Yogoreteshimau kamo shirenai kedo
Nani mo nai mama de kareru yori
Kizutsuiteitai kara
All my loneliest days are self-reflection filled and warm
Not too far and away, the next direction’s taking form
Even if it's been done, though I don't remember when
Let it feel like the first time again
Owaranai tabi ni dekakeyou
Sagashiteru no wa A new start
[Pre-Chorus]
Dareka janakute jibun no tameni
These are the sands,
On which it began, so long ago
[Chorus]
Mada shiranai tobira o akete
Utsukushii sekai o mi ni ikou
Kono shunkan sae kako ni naru
Arukitsuzukeru kagiri
Nothing strange about straying, if you’re true to who you are
When one story has ended, 'round the bend’s a whole new start
With this map in my hand, wanderlust inside my heart
Seeking still that out-of-reach Great Beyond!
Atarashii chizu wa irodorare
Sono te no naka ni A new start
[Verse 1]
Ages ago, like pages of fairy tales
Every pain, self-contained, written by memory
Not old, faded promises
They're memories for tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're tired of all the fighting
There’s gotta be more
Still unexplored, so follow—
[Chorus]
Open the door into the unknown
We'll go out and see this beautiful world
Even this moment will become the past
So long as we keep walking on
Nothing strange about straying, if you’re true to who you are
When one story has ended, 'round the bend’s a whole new start
With this map in my hand, wanderlust inside my heart
Seeking still that out-of-reach Great Beyond!
If your new map is just a blank, white sheet
Before you is a new start
[Verse 2]
Ages ago, like pages of story books
Flip, re-write, days and nights, endless monotony
Every day was always the same
I'm taking the first step to escape
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm done with the boring old everyday
There’s gotta be more
Waiting in store, I’ll find it—
[Chorus]
There are lots of scary things out there
I might even end up dirty and disheveled
But I don't want to grow old without doing anything
I'd rather get myself hurt
All my loneliest days are self-reflection filled and warm
Not too far and away, the next direction’s taking form
Even if it's been done, though I don't remember when
Let it feel like the first time again
Let's go out on a never-ending journey
Searching for a new start
[Pre-Chorus]
Not for anyone but myself
These are the sands,
On which it began, so long ago
[Chorus]
Open the door into the unknown
We'll go out and see this beautiful world
Even this moment will become the past
So long as we keep walking on
Nothing strange about straying, if you’re true to who you are
When one story has ended, 'round the bend’s a whole new start
With this map in my hand, wanderlust inside my heart
Seeking still that out-of-reach Great Beyond!
Your new map will be filled with color
And in your hand will be a new start
