It's pretty much just as you said
I'm giving it my best
But in reality, on this scale
I'm just mediocre
I'm medium build
And all my life I've never had any special talents
No one's ever
Praised me or scolded me
I've gotta change
I've gotta end this today
I make the same vow every time
But I feel like I'm not getting any closer to my goal
I've got lumbago and a migraine
And my family situation's not good
I keep using that as an excuse to run away
I had a weird dream recently
My grandma was in it
She gave me a piggyback ride when I was weak
And fought off the bad guys
The next morning I put my hands together in front of the altar
And gave her my thanks
Then the whole world looked clear
I don't know why
But it did, so that's all that matters
Fly! Riding the head wind
"No way I can do it anyway"
I'll get rid of the self-suggestion I planted
And break the curse!
On the carpet, on the sofa
The moment I make up my mind, that's the runway
Fly, fly
The kids who fool around
Acting like they own the place
Sometimes I find
I'm actually a little jealous of them
The impulses I'd cut off to gain stability
Come back to haunt me
Whispering in my ear as I sleep
"I want to fly, I want to fly"
When I found out about purines
I changed the brand of beer I drink
Everyone in Japan is Mino Monta
I want to know the key to survival
But yesterday I drank
Until the sun came up
And for some reason since then things have been good
I don't know why
But they are, so that's all that matters
Fly! Flap the wings of imagination
I'll get rid of the excuse that I'm bound to fail
And break the curse!
On the slide, on the bench
The moment I make up my mind, that's the starting point
Fly, fly
My lifeline binds me
But I'll let go of it
And then I'll grab my freedom, I'll grab it
I'll run with a one, two, three, go!
Even if I have nowhere to go
Someday I'll get there, I'll fly
Yeah, this is the starting point
Yeah, this is the runway
Spread my wings, break the curse
Yeah, this is the starting point
Yeah, this is the runway
I'll take off, even if I have nowhere to go!
