オフコース Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

たそがれそまる
夕日を追いかけながら
白い車は二人を乗せて走るよ
東京飛び出し Highway
わずらわしい日々が
風の中に消えてゆく
まるであなたに
はじめて会ったような

ときめきをのせて Run away
冬はもうすぐそここの旅の終りに
あなたの暖かい
ぬくもりがいるから
今あなたとこうして旅に出る

あてもなく飛び出した
この旅の道づれは
いつの間にか二人を通り過ぎた
若い青春の思い出
わずらわしい日々が
風の中に消えてゆく
まるであなたに
はじめて会ったような
ときめきをのせて Run away
たとえひとときでも
この街を離れて
二人の思い出と夢をみつめあう
倖せそうなあなたの横顔
冬はもうすぐそここの旅の終りに
あなたの暖かい
ぬくもりがいるから
今あなたとこうして旅に出る
冬はもうすぐそここの旅の終りに
あなたの暖かい

ぬくもりがいるから
今あなたとこうして旅に出る

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Runaway" by the Japanese band オフコース (Off Course). The song paints a picture of two individuals on a journey, escaping from their troublesome daily lives and chasing the sunset in a white car. They are leaving Tokyo behind, taking to the highway without a set destination. As they drive, the burdens of their everyday lives disappear into the wind. It feels as if they have just met for the first time, evoking a sense of excitement and anticipation.

The chorus emphasizes the warmth that the singer finds in the presence of their companion. As winter approaches, they seek solace in this person's comforting embrace. Together, they embark on this journey, cherishing the memories and dreams they share. The lyrics capture a feeling of youthful adventure and the desire to break free from the constraints of ordinary life, finding solace and happiness in each other's company.
