Mr. Blotto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

愛犬クルは行儀良く主人を慕う
どんな時だって嬉しそうにその尻尾を振る
Ah 彼の顔なんて美味くないだろう?
扉開く度 駆け寄り舐めている

Um 時には悲しみ
Um 孤独に似た日々
固いベッドで分けあって
週末の度 助手席に乗り移動
何かを補いあうように暮らす二人

So day by day
And day by day
愛おしさはまた深くなっていくよ

愛犬クルは仲の良い夫婦が
こどもに恵まれず それでやって来たという
でも そのおかげでみんな幸せになったよ
綺麗だったあのひとがいなくなってからも

Um 忘れぬ哀しみ
Um 愛した人の匂い
今もソファに残っている
あの柔らかい膝の上の温もり
夢の中思い出すように深く眠っている

So day by day
And day by day
今もなお帰りを待っているの?
So day by day
And day by day
愛おしさはまた深くなっていくよ

And day by day

They think that they know me They wanna control me They know that they owe They see me in clearview I'm right here
People think that they have me figured out and that they can control me, but they don't know anything about me. I know my worth, and I won't let anyone take advantage of me. They can try to watch me, but I see right through them and I know where I stand.
