Blue Hawaii
Kei Kohara Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

海辺までかき氷
食べに行こう赤い車で
ぼく免許取ったんだよ
きみはたぶん驚くんじゃないかな

途中のコンビニでちょっと立ち読みして休む

今日はなにもしたくないから

どこへも行かなかった
風は網戸を揺らすだけの
ちょっと足りない友達

高速のサービスエリア
ラーメンを食べたのさ
ぼくはまずいって言ったけど
きみはけっこう美味しいって言った

そのあとコーヒーを飲んで山並みを眺めてた

今日はなにもしたくないから
どこへも行かなかった

風はうたをうたうだけの
ちょっと足りない友達
