I was of two minds about the first stanza. I was considering reading it as （私は）幼い憧れを描いた（。 それは）宇宙船 – or, ‘I drew a picture of my childish desire. It was a spaceship’. Instead, I went with what you see here, which is treating the whole first part （幼い憧れを描いた）as if it’s modifying 宇宙船 – just because I thought the image of a spaceship drawing pictures with its contrails fits better with the later section.
歌詞
幼い憧れを描いた 宇宙船
はみ出す色たちに「懐かしい」と笑う
気付けば 造られた世界を 行き交い
躓くことさえも 標識に合わせて
信号の前 立ち止まり 見てた空
切り取る四角の中 出来るだけ夢載せた
あの雲の向こう側へ 空より澄む青さで
翔け抜けては 残してきた足跡みたいに
押しかけて止めていた 感応釦を押せたのなら
まだ指は震えるけど 再び歩き出そう
変わって行くものと ずっと変わらないこと
「私であること」を 正解と言えたら
あの頃のＴシャツは もう着れないけど
大きくなった分だけ きっと届きそうな気がしてる
今 憧れの空へ 画面越しじゃない未来へ
辿り着いても きっと言うだろう「まだ未知がある」と
誰にも言われず抱いて 信じたあなたであれ
月の裏側にだって 想いはいつでも無限で
あの雲の向こう側へ 空より澄む青さで
変わらない青 描いたなら 再び歩き出そう

Translation
The spaceship’s contrails drew a picture of my childish desires.
I smiled, thinking the colours it let out were nostalgic.
Before I knew it, I was travelling between manufactured worlds.
Even my stumbles were in time with the signs.
I stopped in front of the traffic lights and looked up at the sky.
I did my best to place my dreams in the square cut-out frame.
The ship heads beyond the clouds, taking off
and leaving a trail bluer than the sky, like footsteps.
If I’ve finally pressed the button I hesitated to push
then though my fingers are still trembling, I’ll start walking again.
Some things change, and others stay the same.
If I could say that being myself is the right choice—
I don’t fit into the T-shirt I wore back then
but the bigger I’ve gotten, the closer I feel I’ve come.
Now, I head to the sky I longed for, to a future beyond the frame.
Even when I get there, I’ll probably say that unknown sights still lie ahead.
You believed deep inside, unable to tell anyone else.
Even on the other side of the moon, my feelings are forever unlimited.
The ship heads beyond the clouds leaving a trail bluer than the sky.
Once I’ve pictured that unchanging blue in my heart, I’ll start walking again.
