それアンダースタンド
歪んだ日の君を hoo hoo
捨てないでよ yeah
嘆き合って迎える朝焼けで
消えゆくその想いを
ふとしたことで知る無力さで
濁った目の先の明かり消えぬ街角
宿ったその心 絶やさないでよ
響かない君の先の見えぬ明日も
願うよ きっといつか
軋んだその心 hoo hoo
それアンダースタンド
歪んだ日の君を hoo hoo
捨てないでよ yeah
光らない心 それでも待つ明日の
掴んだその手だけ離さないでよ
響かない時を駆け抜けてく間も
願うよ きっといつか
不安で泣いた君も hoo hoo
それアンダースタンド
刺さったそのトゲが hoo hoo
抜けなくても
塞いで泣いた日々も hoo hoo
それアンダースタンド
歪んだ日の君を hoo hoo
捨てないでよ yeah
それアンダースタンド
それアンダースタンド yeah
