I was dreaming of a future, one like something out of Shonen Jump
On the lookout for when you’d be in a tough spot, and for when I’d have a chance to shine

Each night, my dreams, like something out of Shonen Jump
Were so frantic that each time I awoke, covered in sweat, I’d gasp for dear life when I said to Mom

“Good morning”

A seat by the window, next to you
Being late to school, being made to clean as punishment, nodding off in class
I mean, heroes gotta do all that, yeah?

I don’t really have any expectations
To use any of those showy, affected lines
But each night, I’m studiously, secretly practicing them in the bath

I’m nurturing a secret, told to no one
So that I can entrust it to my future heroine

I was dreaming of a future, one like something out of Shonen Jump
On the lookout for when you’d be in a tough spot, and for when I’d have a chance to shine

I know that future is waiting for me, one where the plot will twist dramatically
It’s so much cooler if, when the hero wins, he’s all bloodied up, right?
That’s why now, I’ll wrap myself snugly in my worn, tattered heart… and dream

Knock it off with that hunched-over pose
The one you adopted to be better aligned with your shrunk, diminished heart
Even if you look down, I’m not there
“Hey. Hey! I’m up here!”

That boy from back then is sitting in the very front row, looking at not just someone, somewhere… but at you
Looking only at you… that hero for only you… is looking only at you

Turning on the narration, I watch without even blinking once
“Starting here, finally, our hero stands and faces towards glory
Gripping his bloodied pride tightly, ever more tightly
He goes to claim his revenge, to seize back himself”
And with that, the boy also stands, and strains his voice to its very limits
And finally, the door is opened, shining with light

I was dreaming of a future, one like something out of Shonen Jump
When I’m in a tough spot, that’s my chance to shine… that’s what I was on the lookout for, right?

I was dreaming of a future, one like something out of Shonen Jump

That’s why for now, I don’t have to hide my worn, tattered heart… it’s okay to just cry

週刊少年ジャンプ的な未来を　夢みていたよ
君のピンチも　僕のチャンスと　待ち構えていたよ

毎晩少年ジャンプ的な夢で　忙しくてさ
汗まみれで朝起きるたび　命カラガラで

ママに「おはよう」

机は窓際　君のとなり
遅刻と罰掃除と居眠り
だってヒーローはそうじゃなくちゃって

キザでキラキラした台詞も
使う予定なんかはないけど
ちゃんと毎晩お風呂でこっそり唱えるよ

未来のヒロインにいつか渡すために
誰一人内緒で　育てるんだよ

週刊少年ジャンプ的な未来を　夢みていたよ
君のピンチも　僕のチャンスと　待ち構えていたよ

きっとどんでん返し的な未来が僕を待っている
血まみれからの方がさ　勝つ時にはかっこいいだろう
だから今はボロボロの心にくるまって　夢をみる

縮んだ心に　なんとか釣り合うように
丸めてた猫背ももうやめてよ
下を向いても　あの頃の僕はいないよ
「ほら僕は　ねぇ僕はここだよ」

どこの何者でもない君も　あの時の少年は最前列で君のことを
君だけを見ているよ　君だけのヒーロー　君だけを見ているよ

ナレーションをつけてさ　瞬きひとつせずに見てるよ
「やっとこっから勇者は　栄光に向かい立ち上がるのです
血まみれになったプライドも　さらに強く、強く握りしめ
仇を取りにいくのです　自分を捕まえにいくのです」
そして少年も立ち上がるのです　その声の限り振り絞るのです
ついにドアは光を放って開かれる

週刊少年ジャンプ的な未来を　夢みていたよ
僕のピンチは　僕のチャンスと　待ち構えていただろう？

週刊少年ジャンプ的な未来を　夢みていたよ
君のピンチも　僕のチャンスと　待ち構えていたよ

きっとどんでん返し的な未来が僕を待っている
血まみれからの方がさ　勝つ時にはかっこいいだろう
だから今はボロボロの心を隠さないで　泣けばいい
