コンビニ
猿岩石 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

近くのコンビニで
真夜中過ぎに出逢った
洗い髪の君に僕は恋したのさ
名前さえ知らない
一目惚れなどしちゃって
あの日から僕は Everyday
通ってるよ
雑誌立ち読みしながら

来るのを待ったけど
今夜も1人肉まんを食べながら
帰るよ
そういう恋もいいってなぜか
思うのさ
愛しい気持ちが君に
届かなくたって
バーコードの音が
レジから聞こえるたびに
僕は振り返って切なくなるんだ
必要ないコピーを
何枚も取ったりして
コンビニの中で偶然を
待ってた僕さ
そしてひと月たった頃
突然現れた
君は彼氏と肉まんを
食べながら帰った
そういう恋もいいって
マジで思うのさ
見送る夜風は僕に
やさしすぎるよね
そういう恋もいいって
なぜか思うのさ
愛しい気持ちが君に
届かなくたって
そういう恋もいいって...
そういう恋もいいって...

そういう恋もいいって...
そういう恋もいいって...
