Dreamin'
The Nico & Meg Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you wanna dance with me?
I love dreamin dreamin
I love dreamin dreamin
星の明かり夢の中で
ため息を付いたああ
夜のライト雲のカーテン
傾けたグラスワインひとつ
この世界でただ一人で

うずくまって微笑むよりも
歩き出して泣ける方がいいよね
まっすぐな目で見つめられて
心の自由が利かないの
恋をするって言うのとはちょっと
違うけどわりとドキドキした
Do you wanna dance? 見つめないで
心の自由が利かないの
恋をするって言うのとはちょっと
違うけどわりとドキドキした
Do you wanna dance with me?
I love dreamin dreamin
I love dreamin dreamin Happy
街の明かり雲の上で
ため息を付いたああ
テイルライト踊るように
線を描いてるふたつ
この世界でただ一人で
うずくまって微笑むよりも
歩き出して泣ける方がいいよね。
まっすぐな目で見つめられて
心の自由が利かないの
恋をするって言うのとはちょっと
違うけどわりとドキドキした
Do you wanna dance? 見つめないで
心の自由が利かないの
恋をするって言うのとはちょっと
違うけどわりとドキドキした
Do you wanna dance with me?
I love dreamin dreamin
I love dreamin dreamin Happy
Do you wanna dance with me?
I love dreamin dreamin

I love dreamin dreamin Happy
Do you wanna dance with me?
