One Step
MY FIRST STORY Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

いつも通り一人迷い続けているのは
Again and again
Again and again
何処かに居場所を作るのに駆け抜けて来たんだ

遠回りするたび見落としてた
大事なモノを探して

何度目瞑って彷徨って逃げ出しても
僕の夢はずっと大きくなってくんだろう?
まだまだ僕は立ち止まる気はないから
最後のときを手に入れに行こう

青い空の光に誘われて
同じ速さを感じて

ただ虚しくて悔しくて嫌になっても
自分だけは信じていたいから

生まれ変わった世界に出会える時間まで
何の声がそっと頼りになってるんだろう?
なかなか前に踏み出せず閉じ込もっても
全部の意味を受け入れに行こう

Wow oh oh wow oh oh
Wow oh oh wow oh oh

夜が長くても朝が来なくても
あと一歩もう一歩だけは
風に吹かれても雨に打たれても
あと一歩もう一歩だけで

何度目瞑って彷徨って逃げ出しても
僕の夢はずっと大きくなってくんだろう?
まだまだ僕は立ち止まる気はないから
最後の時間を手に入れに行こう

Wow oh oh wow oh oh
Wow oh oh wow oh oh
