Lyrics: (English) (You can sing along! Cover by Nicki Gee and Tess)

(Miku):Beyond the barbed up boundry
There stands the end, the highest goal
What the two of us fight on for
Words aren't necessary
There is just one thing that we need
That strong look in our eyes

(Luka): We are our motivation
It seems like we could almost touch
The distance seems so near, we're closer
But I'll never take your hand and
You won't ever take mine in yours
We see inside...we know who we really are...

I promise no one else can take your place
Deep in my heart
You shall stay with me forever

(both): Together we run, we learn
We want, we chase
Always after you
I want what you have
Now we're side by side
And laughing as one
"You can do better!"

"There will be no end"
We gasp, we pant, we go
Thinking how you were
Once my enemy
Smiling on it now
The bond between us
Tied with honesty

(Miku): "Can you remember?"
(Luka): "I'll always remember how..."
(both):"We walked through those days together, even now"

(Luka): Even if I fell, was broken
I'd get back up and stand real tall
My goal was keep moving forward
Until I touch the night sky
Until I reach the stars so high
Even if you...are no longer by my side

(Miku): "Tell me why, do you gaze, up towards the sky?
And why your eyes
Show the sadness you try to hide?"

(both):You're so far ahead
I'm falling behind and
Don't you ever doubt
My powers inside
I just can't get through
Can't catch up to you
I must run faster!

I was joking when
I said I had beat you
Let me see your smile
I won't have your tears
You had tried your best
To get to the end
I know you did, so...

(Luka): "I'll never forget..."
(Miku): "It's okay, you must forget..."
(Luka): "The dazzling figure I held so close"
(Miku): ("My life that had faded long ago...")

(Guitar solo)

(Miku): Don't you ever look back
You're still walking on your path
You have such a ways to go

(Luka): It's time that I move on
Though it hurts with every step
I know it's what you wanted!

(both): I wished you could stay
Wished you could stay longer
Always, forever
I thought it would last
If I kept running
I really believed
We'd be together

I began to scream
My throat burning up
While shouting to the sky
Oh why, dear God, why?
I reach my hand out and
Tried to hold you
You're just too far now...

Together we run, we learn
We want, we chase
Always after you
I want what you have
Now we're side by side
And laughing as one
"You can do better!"

You're so far ahead
I'm falling behind and
Don't you ever doubt
My powers inside
I just can't get through
Can't catch up to you
I must run faster...

I'll never forget
I promise I won't forget
About the greatest rival I had!
