ESCAPE
Girl Next Door Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

恋に落ちていくなんにも怖くない
不思議な魔法にかけられて...
枕元に置いた電話が光り出す、
キミからのサインを待ってた
はやる気持ち抑え、そっと鍵を外す
夜へと続くこの扉を
開けて闇に滑り込んだら、
約束の場所へと駆け出す

「秘密の計画」
恋に落ちていくあふれだす感情
すぐにでも声が聴きたくて
手のひらに浮かぶ11の数字が
呼び続けている自由へ... Escape
なにもいわずキミは
スピードを上げてく
加速する鼓動の感覚
常識という名の世界を、
振り切るように飛び込んでく
もう止められない
恋に落ちていくなんにも怖くない
不思議な魔法にかけられて
しがみつく背中走り出した世界
風を追い越して自由へ... Escape

オレンジの光の中を
新しい私に、会うため
恋に落ちていく理由がきっとある
この胸の奥に仕組まれた
生まれ来た謎を

解き明かすそのため
いまキミとふたり自由へ... Escape
