The grass was always greener on the other side
“That’s life,” I always said to myself, unsatisfied

My trademark was a cynical smile dripping with snide
But the most laughable thing of all was my empty pride

Nothing went my way, no matter how hard I tried
I hated it all, my hopes died
“I don’t wanna run away,” a voice cried. Are those my words, do I feel that way?

I’ll give it one more go and then many more
I still don’t feel content, this isn’t enough, even as the rain wears me down
I’ll give it one more thought and so many more
I need to show that there’s a runway ready for my takeoff. Don’t you think so? Don’t you think so?

As I start to lose it, my heart begins to race
There’s no need for pessimism, no need to lie to my face
I can just call it a runner’s high
Cause there are more hurdles to clear. Don’t you see them now?

During these trials and tribulations, can I find my own voice? Can I find my battle cry?
If I couldn’t, I would’ve given up a long time ago

Just singing with passion won’t get my message across
Reality is a beautiful and cruel mistress
So I cut down all the hesitation and start to sing again
‘Cause I left all the reasons telling me to give up back in my past

I want to keep loving, I want to keep loving
Every time I come to a stop, my feet urge me to move
Take one more step, keep going on

The strides I make are tiny and lack all confidence
But they come together to form my song, so hear me now!

I’ll give it one more go and then many more
I still don’t feel content, this isn’t enough, even as the rain wears me down
I’ll give it one more thought and so many more
I want to show that there’s a walk of fame ready for my name
And maybe once I get there I can love myself a little more

手にしたもの以外が綺麗に見えた
「どうせこんなもんか」が口癖だった

うすら笑いばっかが得意になった
けど一番笑えるのはこのプライドだ

一生懸命なんか全部無駄だったんだ
ああもう嫌になった
「逃げたくない」って聞こえた、これは僕の声？

1回10回100回1000回挑戦を続けるよ
まだ足りないって思ってる　やまない雨の中
ずっと考えて考えて考えて見つけ出せ
僕だけの滑走路を証明したいんだよな、そうだろう？そうだろう？

焦り上がる心拍数に嘘つくように
自分を落ち着ける　皮肉は要らない
それを高揚感に置き換えたらさ
今日もまた挑むべきハードルがほら見えただろう？

葛藤の隙間で錆びない声明をひねり出せるか
出ないのならとっくに諦めてるよ

渾身の信念で歌ったって届くわけじゃない
素晴らしいくらい僕らの現実は残酷だ
曖昧を削り取って尖らせてまた歌って
諦める理由なら過去に捨ててきた

愛してたいよ　愛してたいよ
立ち止まる度に　進みたがる脚を
まだ行こう　もっと行こう

小さくて頼りなくて不安定な歩幅が
繋がって歌になる　僕を聴いてくれ！

1回10回100回1000回挑戦を続けるよ
まだ足りないって思ってる　やまない雨の中
ずっと考えて考えて考えて見つけ出せ
僕だけの栄光路を証明したいんだよな
もし辿り着いたなら　誇っていいかな
