Midnight Step
竹内アンナ Lyrics

窮屈な life 揃えた足並同じ向き knock down
息できない cry 詰めた常套句最早ジョーク shut up

逃げる場所がなければ作ればいい
自由求めて鍵壊して抜け出そう

I just wanna midnight step
Take me away
知らない世界広がる
Midnight step, it's my own way

大多数の judge ただし答えが正しいかは don't know
締め切り limit 足りない睡眠自慢大会を辞退 can't help

逃げること選ぶそれも強さなら
覚悟だけ持ってどこまでも走ろう

I just wanna midnight step
Take me away

新しい世界ときめく
Midnight step, it's my own way
I just wanna midnight step take me away
囚われてちゃもったいない
Midnight step, it's my own way

Moonlight, like a head light, what a lovely night

自分のこと誰よりも知ってるのは
愛すべきたった一人の自分だから

I just wanna midnight step
Take me away
素晴らしい世界躍る
Midnight step, it's my own way
I just wanna midnight step
Take me away
大丈夫星も綺麗
Midnight step, it's my own way
