Walk This Way
Seira Kariya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
もう部長になったとか
気が付けば みんな大人カテゴリー もう何周差？って焦ってる
平気なフリだけは どんどん上手くなって
羨む自分に 嫌気が差すけど
無駄な事なんて何も無いから ねぇ ゆっくり歩こうよ
親孝行したりとか 貯金をしなきゃとか
もっとしっかりしようとか
分かっているけど 目の前の事で もう疲れちゃってため息
ちょっと背伸びしてた 足を休めてみよう
自分は自分らしく 急がなくていい
大丈夫 ずっと道は続いてる きっと大丈夫
無駄な事なんて何も無いから ねぇ ゆっくり歩こうよ
迷ったり泣いたり 悩み事は消えないけど 大丈夫だからね
人に誇れる自分だけのものは まだ何も無いけど
大丈夫 ずっと道は続いてる きっと大丈夫
無駄なことなんて何も無いから ねぇ ゆっくり歩こうよ
ねぇ ゆっくり歩こうよ きっと大丈夫
