Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

昨日降り出した雨はもう
やむ頃さって
無防備な僕はとび出した

そしてダメにした濡れた地図
持て余してるけど
泣いて笑って指さして
We have a theme song
空っぽじゃない どんな日も
We have a theme song
うたってる わめいてる
ここにいる

明日きっと たぶんそう
大丈夫だって
無敵なキミは翔ばたいた

We have a theme song
空っぽじゃない どんな日も
We have a theme song
聴こえてる 響いてる
届いてる

We have a theme song
空っぽじゃない どんな日も
We have a theme song
身勝手な夢を見て




プレゼント持って
雨の中キミに会いに行く
