Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
有刺鉄線の先　更なる高みへ　競い合う二人	yuushi tessen no saki sara naru takami e kisoiau futari
言葉などいらない　相手の横顔だけ見据えて	kotoba nado iranai aite no yokogao dake misuete

与え合う刺激　手を伸ばしたなら届く距離にいても	ataeau shigeki te o nobashita nara todoku kyori ni ite mo
決してその手を取り合うことはない　互いを認め合ってた	kesshite sono te o toriau koto wa nai tagai o mitomeatteta

「キミの代役は他の誰にもできはしないから」	"kimi no daiyaku wa hoka no dare ni mo deki wa shinai kara"

共に走って知って嫉妬して　背中をずっと追っていって	tomo ni hashitte shitte shitto shite senaka o zutto otte itte
並んで『なんだこんなもんか』って笑って	narande "nan da konna mon ka" tte waratte

「果てはない」って言ってハッとした　最初は敵視してて	"hate wa nai" tte itte hatto shita saisho wa tekishi shitete
素直になんてなんでなって、って不思議で	sunao ni nante nande natte, tte fushigi de

"覚えてる？"	"oboeteru?"
「覚えているよ」	"oboete iru yo"
「"キミと歩んだあの日々を"」	"kimi to ayunda ano hibi o"

蹴躓きながら　さながら夜空に届きそうな程	ketsumazukinagara sanagara yozora ni todokisou na hodo
走り続けてた　例えもう隣に　ねぇ、キミがいなくなっても	hashiritsuzuketeta tatoe mou tonari ni nee, kimi ga inaku natte mo

"なんでそんな悲しい目をして空を見上げるの？"	"nande sonna kanashii me o shite sora o miageru no?"

先を走ってくっていったって　限度あるってなんて勝手	saki o hashitte'ku tte ittatte gendo aru tte nante katte
走っても走っても追いつけないよ	hashitte mo hashitte mo oitsukenai yo

"ウチの勝ちッ！ってなんて冗談じゃん　ちゃんと笑って泣いてないで	"uchi no kachi! tte nante joudan jan chanto waratte naite'naide
目指す場所があって頑張っていたんでしょう？"	mezasu basho ga atte ganbatte ita'n deshou?"

「忘れない」	"wasurenai"
"･･････忘れていいよ"	"……wasurete ii yo"
「キミのその姿を」　"私の存在を"	"kimi no sono sugata o" / "watashi no sonzai o"

"振り向かないで。ここはまだ道の途中だから"	"furimukanaide. koko wa mada michi no tochuu da kara"
前を向こう　辛いけどキミが望むのならば･･････！	mae o mukou tsurai kedo kimi ga nozomu no naraba……!

隣でもっともっともっとって　一緒にずっとずっとずっと	tonari de motto motto motto tte issho ni zutto zutto zutto
進めると理屈なく信じてた	susumeru to rikutsu naku shinjite'ta
どうしてなんでなんでなんでって　喚いてたってなんもなくて	doushite nande nande nande tte wameite'tatte nan mo nakute
手を伸ばしてももう届かない距離	te o nobashite mo mou todokanai kyori

共に走って知って嫉妬して　背中をずっと追っていって	tomo ni hashitte shitte shitto shite senaka o zutto otte itte
並んで『なんだこんなもんか』って笑って	narande "nan da konna mon ka" tte waratte
先を走ってくっていったって　限度あるってなんて勝手	saki o hashitte'ku tte ittatte gendo aru tte nante katte
走っても走っても追いつけない	hashitte mo hashitte mo oitsukenai
忘れない───忘れないから。最高のライバルを	wasurenai—wasurenai kara. saikou no raibaru o

Beyond the barbed wire, two race to the peak
They need no words, sidelong glances are enough

This motivation we give each other
Even if we were close enough to touch
We would never take each other's hands
We simply acknowledged one another

"Because no one else can take your place"

Together we run, we know, we envy
Each pursuing the other
Side by side we laugh.
Wait, that's all you've got?

"No limits," you said. But remember how
At first we looked on each other as enemies?
It's funny how honest we can be

"Do you remember?"
"Oh, I remember"
"Those days I walked with you"

"I can't look back. The journey isn't over"
I need to face forward
It won't be easy, but if that's what you want…!

Beside me more and more and more
Together always always always
I took it on faith we'd go forward together
Why why why why?
I cry out but there's nothing there
I extend my hand, but you are out of reach

Together we run, we know, we envy
Each pursuing the other
Side by side we laugh,
Wait, that's all you've got?
You run on ahead
Who cares about limits?
I run and run, but I can't catch up
I won't forget—I won't ever forget
My greatest rival ever
