Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
忘れられたかな
誰に頼ったってあがいても弱るだけで
夢で抱いたことも
何も嘘じゃない
それでも不意に何かに満たされてく
ただ過ぎていく時を眺め
しまいこんだ part of you
誰かに届くまで
まだ捨て切れない明日は
君を見ている
今ここにいたって なんか fake
言葉にならぬ veil
何度もすりむいた 手輝いて
今は本能のレールで
研ぎ澄ませ 君こそ
You are the only one
二人で望む明日を bring up
眠りから覚めていくような
かすかに残る 記憶たどれば
素晴らしい物なんてそれは
だれも知るはずもない
ただの roman
口々に言う 連なる
咲き散る理由
語らずとも will you?
Can you feel it true?
それさえあれば free
ただ過ぎていく時は流れ
まだ どこかもわからないけど
いつの日かあなたとも farewell
何もかもが溶けて
繋がる
今ここにいたって なんか fake
言葉にならぬ veil
何度もすりむいた 手輝いて
今は本能のレールで
研ぎ澄ませ 君こそ
You are the only one
二人で望む明日を bring up
まだ捨て切れない明日は
君を見ている
今ここにいたって なんか fake
言葉にならぬ veil
何度もすりむいた 手輝いて
今は本能のレールで
研ぎ澄ませ 君こそ
You are the only one
二人で望む明日を bring up
今ここにいたって なんか fake
言葉にならぬ veil
何度もすりむいた 手輝いて
今は本能のレールで
研ぎ澄ませ 君こそ
You are the only one
二人で望む明日を bring up
明日を bring up...
Bring up... bring up...
