Lyrics
Kanji = 桜の下しゃがんで　並べた言葉達が まだ少し冷たい風の中で 春を待たず旅立つ　その背中押すように 柔らかな日射しに溶けた

思い出はいつもどこか　照れくさいキョリで 俺たちの帰りを待っている

忘れてしまうには　大き過ぎたんだ あれがあるかないかで　この景色が決まる あの時過ごした　短い冬に探してた 夏への入り口

多分あのままだって　それなりの毎日を 俺らしく泳いでいられたけど 夢に手を伸ばすように　泳ぎたいと思った おまえと最高のリレー

水を掻き　切り拓いて　進むその先で 俺たちは　いつでも自由なんだ

変わったつもりで　何も変わらない ムキになるのもミョウに　張り合いがあったり あの時出会って　俺たちだからできたこと きっと忘れない

忘れてしまうには　大き過ぎたんだ あれがあるかないかで　この景色が決まる あの時過ごした　短い冬に探してた 夏への入り口

変わったつもりで　何も変わらない ムキになるのもミョウに　張り合いがあったり あの時出会って　俺たちだからできたこと きっと忘れない Rōmaji = sakura no shita shagande narabeta kotobatachi ga mada sukoshi tsumetai kaze no naka de haru wo matazu tabidatsu sono senaka osu you ni yarawakana hizashi ni toketa

<font color=>The memories always kept back somewhere at an awkward distance <font color=>Waiting for our return

It was too great to be forgotten This sight will decide whether it is there or not In that brief winter that we’d spent together, when we had searched for The entrance to summer

<font color=>I probably could have gone on swimming every day in my own way Ever since that day, if nothing had changed, but <font color=>Like reaching out a hand towards a dream, I yearned to swim with you In the best relay ever

<font color=>Towards wherever we go as we paddle through the water and cut a path ahead <font color=>We are always free

I thought that things were different now, but nothing had changed at all Even getting worked up over something strangely has a sense of worth to it By meeting each other back then, it’s something that could have only been done because it’s us I will not forget it
