Far Away
KOHH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
どこでもドアがありゃがいいのに
そしたらまずは天国に旅行２歳でさよならした
パパところ俺の音楽はどうとか友達はどうとか
自慢することがたんさんある
時計は回るお金もかかる
でもなんとかやってるよ相変わらず
昔は一人じゃ何も出来なかった少しだけ進歩したきっと今が一番幸せ後ろ振り返っても仕方ねぇ
旅立ったあいつらに負けぬように恥じぬように
ただやることやるのみ
【HOOK】
俺は幸せもう君がいなくてもやっていけるから
Far Away Far Away Far Away
離れ離れになっても同じ空の下で
夢をかなえるまた会えるから
Far Away Far Away...
はじめまして次さよなら喜び悲しみ気づく後から
人間は馬鹿みんな同じで後悔して勉強するのには終わりねぇんだから今したいことする痛いこと言う
たまに少し失敗もするけどやっぱまけたくねぇから変わった逆に遠く離れてくれてよかった感謝
全てにありがとういつか成功みんなで味わおう
綺麗事でも幸せがいい君は君で俺は俺なりに進む道は長いまだ続く太陽がまぶしすぎて俯く
昔のことなんかきにしちゃだめFuck
過去の栄光より未来幸せ
【HOOK】
