Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
溢れないように 急ぎ足で
昼間すぎ重ねる また寝る夢見る
思い通りにいかないですねる
今も変わってないよ mom あの 眼差しは
見てくれで 背伸び 呆れちゃうよ やだ
勘違いが生んだ なんだかんだ運があった?
焼けそうに泣いた night and day 繋いだ手を
離さないでいてくれよ
たどり着いた迷路 名誉なら Fade off 君次第で 栄光
乱したって いつの日か降り注ぐでしょう
Uh 淀みないこの未来
君と混ざり合い踊りたい
何ひとつ君を知らないまま woo woo
Slowly drive, slowly drive
答え合わせなんて 興味ない
君となら we can find the way
Slowly drive
Slowly drive
ふと知らしてくれる夜風
焦らないで 嘘だらけ bad take
目をつむり 生きるなんて無理な目論見 抜け殻ばかり眺めても こんな目に
変わってないよ dad あの 口癖は
脱ぎ捨てたTシャツとシューズは そのまま
許し合いが生んだワンダーランドは nobody knows
いつのまにか 日が暮れて 弱りそう
おきまりの クラブは今じゃ 音さえしない
横目で 流す 街並みも slowly down
立ち止まって いつの日か 降り注ぐでしょう
Uh 淀みないこの未来
君と混ざり合い踊りたい
何ひとつ君を知らないまま woo, woo
Slowly drive, slowly drive
答え合わせなんて 興味ない
君となら we can find the way
Slowly drive
Slowly drive
Slowly drive
Slowly drive
Slowly drive
立ち止まって いつの日か 降り注ぐでしょう
Uh 淀みないこの未来
君と混ざり合い踊りたい
何ひとつ君を知らないまま
