Kan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
緑の芝生も野球場も 噴水もある
天気のいい日には
自転車に乗ろうよ
ぼくのほうが 少し速いけど
別に君を おいこしたりはしない
君の髪が風にゆれるのを
見ながら走るのが
あまり話しはしなくても
きっとなんか楽しいよ
そんな風に ぼくの街においで
ある日 君に
悲しい出来事があっても
やっぱり公園に行こうよ
手をつないで
ベンチのある
木陰を見つけてすわろう
久しぶりにアルトサキソフォンを
吹いてあげるよ
あいかわらずへたくそだから
まわりの人も犬も
耐えられずどこかへ
消えたらぼくら二人きりさ
そして君の話しを全部きこう
まとまりはなくてもいい
ゆっくりでいいからさ
ほら少しは楽になってきたろう
君の好きな歌をうたおう
平気さだれもいない
ぼくのほうがうまいけど
君のほうが声がいい
本当にそう思ってるよ
いますぐじゃなくてもいいから
ちゃかさず考えて
思い切ってぼくのとこに おいで
The song starts with the singer describing a big park in his town that has everything from green lawns to baseball courts and even fountains. He invites his significant other to go biking with him on a good weather day, enjoying the view of her hair swaying in the wind as they ride. He likes being with her, even if they don't talk much, and he wants her to know that he'll always be there for her, even if she's going through a tough time. He suggests they go to the park, holding hands and sitting on a bench under the trees, where he'll play the alto saxophone for her, even though his playing might be terrible. He wants to hear her talk about what's bothering her, and he reassures her that they can take things slowly.
The song is about the singer's desire to be there for his significant other, to make her feel better even if it means doing nothing more than spending time with her. Even when life is difficult and things don't go as planned, the park is a place where they can be together and find peace. The lyrics are romantic and show an attentive, caring side to the singer's character.
