Chase the Chance

Lyrics: TETSUYA KOMURO & Takahiro Maeda
Composition & Arrangement: TETSUYA KOMURO

It's not like that; it's just fun
I'm just following an impulse that won't stop

I'm not interested in flat excitement
I don't need a boring time
Hey yo!

Just chase the chance – I'm gonna live honestly
Chase, chase the chance – on the road I believe in
Dreams aren't for dreaming
They're not for talking about
'Cuz they're something you make come true

Just chase the chance – no one can stop
Wild & tough – my wild desires
Just chase the chance – love, dreams, everything
are always overflowing in my heart

There's no reason for living if you don't enjoy yourself
but it can't only be about enjoyment
A road without mountains or valleys is boring
It won't be a roller coaster
We've been taught to be cooperative
Good girls can only be good girls
I don't know what to do – I'm so excited
Just chase the chance

Even when I want you to hold me for a little longer,
I want to stay as the type that doesn't bend the time limit

Love is fine without being beautiful
Even a little scary is fine

I remember the feelings I had long ago
those feelings of wanting things, of demanding things

I remember those days when I threw tantrums
crying until I got what I wanted
Hey yo!

Just chase the chance – you can no longer return
Chase, chase the chance – you don't need to grieve over that
Dreams don't have a past
They don't have a future, either
Because they chase the present

Just chase the chance – don't stand still
Don't look back – are you prepared?
Just chase the chance – I'll grip the sweet
and dangerous fruit of my dreams with my hands

Anything can happen these days
If you're slow, then it's your loss
A to Z alone don't seem to be enough
so let's talk with our bodies
It's no one's fault, so I won't get mad, but
lately it's been boring
If it's boring, then just make it interesting
Chase, chase the chance

How do you protect your dreams?
Do you protect a dream you can't hold?

How do you search for love?
Do you know it by embracing it?
Hey yo!

Just chase the chance – I'm gonna live honestly
Chase, chase the chance – on the road I believe in
Dreams aren't for dreaming
They're not for talking about
'Cuz they're something you make come true

Just chase the chance – no one can stop
Wild & tough – my wild desires
Just chase the chance – love, dreams, everything
always overflow in my heart

Just chase the chance
Chase, chase the chance
Just chase the chance
My heart feels like it's gonna burst through my chest

Just chase the chance
Chase, chase the chance
Just chase the chance
Once I embrace you, I'll never let go again
Just chase the chance
Chase the Chance

    2. I think living straight down should be living honestly. That's what it said on the screen during her final live. That's one of the alternate meanings of まっすぐ apparently
