繋いだ先で見つけたもの　
この仲間と見れた見たことのない景色(忘れないさ)
勝ち負けよりも大事なこと
教えてくれたね　最高の Ever Blue

I swim for the team, We swim together
I believe in my team, We start from here
I swim for the team, We swim together
I believe in my team, We start from here

ぶつかったりのみこんだり　迷いながら探してた
本当の居場所　本当の思い　やっと気づいたんだ

いつだって　不器用なオレ達は
なんだって　遠回りして傷つけあって
だけどずっと　心は一緒だって　信じてたくて

繋いだ先で触れた世界
おわりじゃなく新しいスタートの景色(動きだした)
飛び込む水に感じてるよ
同じ時を泳ぐ　最高の仲間

I swim for the team, We swim together
I believe in my team, We start from here
I swim for the team, We swim together
I believe in my team, We are EVER BLUE

夢はいつか笑顔のまま　カタチになる気がしてる
そんな風に思える今日を　ずっと覚えていよう

どこだって　オレ達は行けるから
今だって　自由な空に何を思って
眩しさへと　素直に目を細める　信じられるね

繋いだ先で見つけたもの　
この仲間と見れた見たことのない景色(忘れないさ)
喜びのなか　ひとつになる
教えてくれたね　最高の Ever Blue

今を精一杯に (every time together)
ここで重ねていこう (every day for my team)
今が未来の傍で (forever we are friends)
オレ達を待っている　疑わないさ

繋いだ先で触れた世界
おわりじゃなく新しいスタートの景色(動きだした)
飛び込む水に感じてるよ
同じ時を泳ぐ　最高の仲間

I swim for the team, We swim together
I believe in my team, We start from here
I swim for the team, We swim together
I believe in my team, We are EVER BLUE

Tsunaida saki de mitsuketa mono
Kono nakama to mireta mita koto no nai keshiki (wasurenai sa)
Kachimake yori mo daiji na koto
Oshiete kureta ne　Saikou no ever blue

I swim for the team　We swim together
I believe in my team　We start from here
I swim for the team　We swim together
I believe in my team　We start from here

Butsukattari nomikondari　Mayoi nagara sagashiteta
Hontou no ibasho　Hontou no omoi　Yatto kizuitanda

Itsudatte　Bukiyou na oretachi ha
Nandatte　Toomawari shite kizutsuke atte
Dakedo zutto　Kokoro ha issho da tte　Shijitetakute

Tsunaida saki de fureta sekai
Owari ja naku atarashii sutaato no keshiki (ugokidashita)
Tobikomu mizu ni kanjiteru yo
Onaji toki wo oyogu　Saikou no nakama

I swim for the team　We swim together
I believe in my team　We start from here
I swim for the team　We swim together
I believe in my team　We start from here

Yume wa itsuka egao no mama　Katachi ni naru ki ga shiteru
Sonna fuu ni omoeru kyou wo　Zutto oboete iyou

Doko datte　Oretachi wa ikeru kara
Ima datte　Jiyuu na sora ni nani wo omotte
Mabushisa e to　Sunao ni me wo hosomeru　Shinjirareru ne

Tsunaida saki de mitsuketa mono
Kono nakama to mireta mita koto no nai keshiki (wasurenai sa)
Yorokobi no naka　Hitotsu ni naru
Oshiete kureta ne　Saikou no EVER BLUE

Ima wo seiippai ni (every time together)
Koko de kasanete ikou (every day for my team)
Ima ga mirai no soba de (forever we are friends)
Oretachi wo matteiru　Utagawanai sa

Tsunaida saki de fureta sekai
Owari ja naku atarashii sutaato no keshiki (ugokidashita)
Tobikomu mizu ni kanjiteru yo
Onaji toki wo oyogu　Saikou no nakama

I swim for the team　We swim together
I believe in my team　We start from here
I swim for the team　We swim together
I believe in my team　We are EVER BLUE

What I found when we were brought together
Thanks to my friends, I saw something totally new (I won’t forget it)
It’s a sight more precious than winning or losing
You’re the one who showed me the wonderful EVER BLUE

I swim for the team　We swim together
I believe in my team　We start from here
I swim for the team　We swim together
I believe in my team　We start from here

We battled it out, swallowed our pride, and stumbled along the way
But we finally found where we truly belong, realized how we truly feel

Some things never change　We still have trouble expressing ourselves
So we took the long way ‘round and ended up hurting one another
But I believed our hearts were united all along

The new world we touched when we were brought together
It’s not the end　It’s the sight of a fresh start (It starts today)
Dive in and feel the water all around you
We’re swimming together, with the best friends we could have

I swim for the team　We swim together
I believe in my team　We start from here
I swim for the team　We swim together
I believe in my team　We start from here

I know someday we’ll smile as our dreams take shape
I realized that today　Let’s remember this day forever

Whatever the destination, we can make it there together
Right now, we see something in the free, endless sky above
Squinting as we stare into the bright horizon
It’s something to believe in

What I found when we were brought together
Thanks to my friends, I saw something totally new (I won’t forget it)
United by our happiness, we become one
You’re the one who showed me the wonderful EVER BLUE

Let’s give everything we have (every time together)
Let’s spend our days here together (every day for my team)
Right now the future is so close at hand (forever we are friends)
It’s waiting for us　I’ll never doubt it

The new world we touched when we were brought together
It’s not the end　It’s the sight of a fresh start (It starts today)
Dive in and feel the water all around you
We’re swimming together, with the best friends we could have

I swim for the team　We swim together
I believe in my team　We start from here
I swim for the team　We swim together
I believe in my team　We are EVER BLUE
