君は何か夢とかあるのかい？ いつかやりたいなって思うこと
だって生きてく理由はあるだろ？ 明日はこうしたいなんて願望が⋯
だから眠るんだ 人は皆 嫌なこと忘れるため
今日という日を乗り越えちまえば どうにかなると言い聞かせて⋯
こんな夜遅く コンビニのレンジで
弁当温め どんな奇跡待ってるの？
君はきっと分かってるだろ？ いつの間にか諦めてること
だけど 気づかないふりをして⋯
Start over! Start over!
もう一度だけ やり直そうなんて思うなら
今しかない 後にはない
逃げてる今の自分 目を覚ませ！
ガラス窓に映った現実に
心は背中向けたくなるけど
自動ドアを出た瞬間 別人にもなれる
大事なのは どこからやり直すか？
そりゃ諦めかけた数秒前
それじゃ僕は一体何なんだ？ 誰かのこととやかく言えるのか？
知らず知らず 自分は安全地帯で 評論家みたいに上から目線
どこをどうすれば ぬるま湯の環境を抜け出せる？
どうせだったら失敗したって 当事者でありたいのに⋯
防犯カメラに守られることより
誰も見ていない自由が欲しいだけ
何を犠牲にできるんだろう 代償なしは虫がいいね
だから 他人の目気にすんな
Make it zero! Make it zero!
今日までずっと持ってたものなんてどうでもいい
見栄張るな カッコつけるな
冷めたら二束三文のプライド
風に吹かれ メッキが剥がれても
あそこのあいつほどは馬鹿じゃない
僕の方が少しはマシだって言い張って
君に向かって 全否定してやりたい
結局 同じ穴の狢
“今さら”はダメかい？ 遅すぎるのかい？
やり直せるなら 何だってできるだろう？
君は僕の過去みたいだな 僕は君の未来になるよ
どうせ自己嫌悪の塊
Start over! Start over!
もう一度だけ やり直そうなんて思うなら
今しかない 後にはない
逃げてる今の自分 目を覚ませ！
ガラス窓に映った現実に
心は背中向けたくなるけど
自動ドアを出た瞬間 別人にもなれる
大事なのは どこからやり直すか？
そりゃ諦めかけた数秒前

Do you have a dream? Something you wish to do someday
I’m sure you have a reason to live, a hope for living tomorrow in a certain way…
That’s why we all go to sleep to forget the bad things
We tell ourselves, as long as we pull through today we should be able to work something out…
So late in the night, at a convenience store
Microwaving a bento, what miracle are you waiting for?
I know you’ve found yourself giving up
But you pretend you haven’t realized it…
Start over! Start over!
If you think you want to start over just once again
It’s now or never
I know I’m avoiding reality, snap out of it!
The reality reflected in the window
Makes me want to turn my back on it
But the moment I go through the automatic door, I can also turn into someone else
The most important part is where to start over from
For sure, that’s a few seconds ago when I almost gave up
So who am I? Like I can talk?
Unknowingly, from my comfort zone I’m condescending like a critic
Where and how can I escape the status quo?
Even if I end up failing I want to be involved…
Instead of being protected by security cameras
I want the freedom of obscurity
What can I sacrifice? None of that is asking too much
So don’t worry about how others see you
Make it zero! Make it zero!
What you have kept to this day doesn’t matter at all
Don’t be pretentious, don’t act cool
Once things simmer down, your pride is worth next to nothing
Even if the wind blows through and my true nature shows
I’m not as foolish as that guy over there
I want to insist I’m slightly better
Denying everything that you say
But in the end, we’re birds of a feather
Does “now” not do? Is it too late?
If you’re starting over, I’m sure you can do anything
You’re just like my past, I will be your future
After all, we’re a bunch of self-hatreds
Start over! Start over!
If you think you want to start over just once again
It’s now or never
I know I’m avoiding reality, snap out of it!
The reality reflected in the window
Makes me want to turn my back on it
But the moment I go through the automatic door, I can also turn into someone else
The most important part is where to start over from
For sure, that’s a few seconds ago when I almost gave up
