Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
＜今日という日をどれだけ待ったか＞
ハヤル気持ち押さえて 来たんだから
＜楽しませてくれなきゃね＞
君と行くんだ mid town
時間が来た そろそろ
助手席は 君のもの
1,2 カウントダウン始まる君と
未知の世界へ向かおう
Driving どこでも連れてくよ
行く先は 君が決めていい
Driving まわりのことは
気にしなくていいから movin' on
Driving ボリュームあげて
頭の中 オーバーヒートさせてよ お願い
Driving このまま
どこまでも行こう 夢の続きをみよう
時間の流れなんて 気にしない
＜ゆっくりながれていくもんだから＞
心配はいらない だって君のため
＜どこへも逃げないずっと＞
Boys $ girls 混ざり合う
初めての 感覚で
助手席は 君のもの
How do you feel it?
1,2 体中麻痺状態
未知の世界抜け出せない
Hands up まだまだ終わらない
今夜のパーティー 帰さないから
Hands up くびれに手を回し
抱く 背中越しに感じて
Hands up こっちを向いて 見せてほしい
笑顔を 私だけに
Hands up 消えない フラッシュライト負けないで
高鳴る鼓動隠して
1,2 カウントダウン始まる君と
未知の世界へ向かおう
Driving どこでも連れてくよ
行く先は 君が決めていい
Driving まわりのことは
気にしなくていいから movin' on
Driving ボリュームあげて
頭の中 オーバーヒートさせてよ お願い
Driving このまま
どこまでも行こう 夢の続きをみよう
