I Want To Know
J.B. Lenoir Sunny Land Slim and Friends Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

夜になるとふいに会いたくなるの
今どこにいて何をしているんだろう
空には綺麗な星があって君も
見ているかなあぁ会いたいな

帰り道寂しくなって聴き出す君の好きな歌
こういうラブソング聞かないタイプだと思ってた
きっと君は誰かに恋していて

でも私はそんな君に恋している
涙溢れそうで空見上げた

夜になるとふいに会いたくなるの
今どこにいて何をしているんだろう
空には綺麗な星があって君も
見ているかなあぁ会いたいな

「寒いね」って手を強く握ってほしいのも
隣でぎゅってして眠りにつきたいのも
全部全部君とがいいよ
「ねぇ好きだよ」

夜になるとふいに会いたくなるの
今どこにいて何をしているんだろう
空には綺麗な星があって君と

一緒に見たいな
「会いたいな」
