秦基博 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

ほら始まるよ危ない駆け引き
優位に立ちたいの今後のこと見据えて

ラララ

泣いたってダメだよその手にはのらない
不純な滴に映る僕の顔負けそう

攻め込むこの論理的理論
堅い守りさその感情武装
つまるところは灰になってしまいたいだけなのに

僕の全てを君にあげるから
君もその本音をさらけだしてよ
過去も未来も今も残さずにあげる
裸の心で僕の方へおいで

もう終わりにしよう曖昧な関係
一線を越えたいよ秘密のこと教えて

乱暴にめくる次のページ
明け透けになるその核心部分
はやい話が灰になってしまいたいだけだろ

僕の全てを君にあげるから
君もその本音をさらけだしてよ
嘘もホントもぜんぶ欲しいだけあげる
裸の心で僕の方へおいで

(ラララララララララ)
