Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
二度と消せはしない
自由になるために
嫌うのも手じゃないかな
溢れてく feelin'どこにいても
隠せない lonely
I wanna let go now
行き場のない
巡り巡る all night
Take me out from night dream
君と知らない場所
またもう一回のチャンスで
行き先はどこへでも
Take me out from night dream
全て置いていこう
おきまりの your phrase で
We just don't care about it any more
浮かんでく daylight
日が沈むまで 君とみていたい
let me know right
行き違いばかりで
折れそうだ 毎回
そりゃそうさ my life
不釣り合いでも正解 明快
になるまでここで待ってる
ただのランデブー just like a fool
答えなんてどこにもない
思うままに show me your dive
行き場のない
言葉はいらない
巡り巡る all night
Take me out from night dream
君と知らない場所
またもう一回のチャンスで
行き先はどこへでも
Take me out from night dream
全て置いていこう
おきまりの your phrase で
We just don't care about it any more
心変わりを 恐れて
いつしか 二人 道を忘れて
戻れない プライド
やりきれない 思いを
夢が醒めるまで
繋いでく 街灯
きらめいてく ライト
夜が明けるまで遠くに
Take me out from night dream
