Dance With Me
Round Table Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
憧れてたの
いつも見てた 映画みたい
特別な Love Story
はじまりは そう あなたからの
突然のTelephone Call
Do you remember? 誘われたの
週末の Party Night
さまようの二人 Friday Night
そう いつも
Stay with me 瞳を閉じたら
Stay with me もう少しだけ
What did you say? 忘れないで
あの日の約束
Lookin' for my love
手をつないで 見つけるの
Promise me
切ない涙 No more cry
すれ違う時間
I'm missin' you so いつも
Stay with me 時計を止めたら
Stay with me このまま少しだけ
いくつもの夜と朝を過ごして
そして全て 気付いたの
Stay with me 瞳を閉じたら
Stay with me もう少しだけ
Stay with me 時計を止めて
So long
Stay with me このままずっと
Stay with me
The lyrics to Round Table's song Dance with me describe the yearning the singer has to be a part of a special love story like the ones they've seen in movies. The song begins with the singer expressing their desire to experience that kind of romance someday since they've always looked up to it. Then, the lyrics describe how the love story started with a sudden phone call invitation to a party night. The two met at the party and danced along to their hearts' content like butterflies flying around.
The singer learns that memories are precious and that promises should be kept from the line, "Lookin' for my love, 手をつないで 見つけるの Promise me ("Looking for my love, holding hands, and finding it - Promise me"). They don't want to cry anymore and miss the person they're thinking about, wanting them to stay with them. The singer then realizes that they've spent countless nights and mornings together and comes to a revelation (そして全て 気付いたの - "And then I realized everything.") as they sing the chorus one last time, enticing them to stay with them, even for just a little while longer. The song ends with the words "So long, Stay with me このままずっと, Stay with me" ("So long, Stay with me forever").
Overall, the lyrics are a beautiful representation of love's yearning and missing the person you care about, promising to hold on to that person and treasure the memories they make.
