Doors
L.A. Woman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm knockin' on your door
いつもすぐせめぎ合う lonely
You're nothing but a girl
君だけの夢に出逢いたい

そう何が変わってゆくだろう
そう何を見つめていただろう
コインで占った明日を生きてく

それが僕の望む自由さ

I'm knockin' on your door
続かずに投げ出した diary
暮れかけてく街並みに君を探してる
抱きしめた痛みから
僕が解き放たれなくても
今言える言葉は
Just say I love you

そう何を言いたかっただろう
そう何を信じていただろう
眠れない夜には時計はいらない
それが僕の出した答えさ

I'm knocking on your door
いつかすぐ溶け込むさ harmony
かすれている歌声で君に呼びかけて
願いごとのすべてが
うまく行くとは思わないけれど
今言える言葉は
Just say I want you

I'm knocking on your door
いつかすぐ笑えるさアイロニー
気にしないで口笛でかわしてごらんよ
あたりまえのルールに
君が傷つくことがあっても

今言える言葉は
Just say I love you
