Going Steady Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
こんなに外は晴れたのに
ポブラの葉がひらひら揺れるのに
それなのにむなしいよ
お花を踏みにじんだのか
いつのまにか僕は汚れた
ピーターパンに謝りにゆこう
涙ふこう 涙をふこう 失うものは何もない
空見上げれば 空見上げれば 君が笑っている
あなたよ どうかあなたよ
しっかり幸せになれ
悲しみくれる 大切な友に
橋をかけてやれ
その時あなたは聞くでしょう
その時あなたは歌うでしょう
まぶしいほどロマンチックな
遠くで聞こえる少年のうた
赤い色とオレンジ色と黄色と緑色と
青い色とあい色と紫色をした虹がでています
きれいな きれいな 虹がでています
Do you remember me?
You are not the only one.
Never alone. You never alone.
The Bridge by Going Steady is a beautiful song that captures the emotions of feeling empty despite the beautiful outside world. The lyrics convey the emptiness that the singer feels despite the sunny day and the swaying of the poblano leaves. The singer wonders if stepping on flowers is the reason he feels dirty, as he contemplates apologizing to Peter Pan. The sound of a song from a far-off child is audible and brings tears to the singer's eyes, but he convinces himself that he has nothing to lose.
The lyrics emphasize the importance of happiness and the need to offer a bridge to a friend who is sad. The singer asks the person he is addressing to be happy, to cross the bridge, and to extend a helping hand to a friend who needs it. The singer is sure that the person addressed will sing when the time comes and realize the romance and beauty in the world.
