Monday Night
Gregory Esayan feat Ai Takekawa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(It's a Monday night
Takes a while from now
to see you again)

Drifting away from the track
I'm ascending to the darkest night
Too many butterflies roaming, all along

Up above the stars will there be another heaven watching me?
Better shine like this or in another case I'd only want to live with you
But it's a Monday night
Takes a while from now to see you again
It's a Monday night

In the distant past
Worn a perfect mask
Allied with unspoken fear
Claiming I could live alone
Meet the brightest clown
Learned to freeze the pain
Only to defend my hope
And just to know that I belong

Up above the stars will there be another heaven watching me?

Better shine like this or in another case I'd only want to live with you
But it's a Monday night
