For Real
徳山秀典 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

立ち止まってる
君の背中は
淋しげなまま
僕をとらえる
気まぐれな愛で包みたい

信じられない
言葉ばかりが

笑顔の中で
牙をむいてる
そのかけらに愛を探してる

いつかわがままな
歌声が君に届いて
そんな瞬間に
この世界は変わってゆく

何を見つけてゆこう
時間を切り裂いて
君のそばにいるよ
それが優しさなら

何を見つめていよう
その手を差し出して
掴んだ現実を
Let it go 信じよう

遠くを見てる
そのまなざしは
心の中の声を聞いてる
まだ青い月を抱きしめて

走り続ける
君の強さが
また新しい
扉を開く
すぐ明ける夜を照らし出せ

たとえ一人でも
君のこと信じていたい
そんな瞬間に
この世界は動き出す

何を見つけてゆこう
心を吐き出して
またここで会えるよ
それが真実なら

何を見つめていよう
この手を差し出して
掴んだ現実を
Let it go 信じよう

何を見つけてゆこう
時間を切り裂いて
君のそばにいるよ
それが優しさなら

何を見つめていよう
その手を差し出して

掴んだ現実を
Let it go 信じよう
