YO-KING Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

青空か続いた冬は
僕のバイクも絶好調で
君に会いに行きたくなる
君の入れたコーヒー飲みたいよ
午前中の日だまりの中
色々ポーズ変えて読書
目の日光浴は5分間
ストレッチで体を伸ばす

いつ頃からか僕は思う
こんなにも毎日は楽しい
渋谷原宿ウロウロまわり
季節を感じて欲しいモノを買う
素晴らしき世界よ僕はここにいる
素晴らしき世界よ僕も君の一部さ
楽で楽しいひまつぶしは
ほどほどに永遠に続いてく
教えてもらいたくなる
いろいろ僕の知らないことを
たまに電車にも乗ってみる
座って読書時間上手
モノや時間体も使い込む
自分色にじっくり染めていく
そのときそのときいいやり方を
考えてのんびり進む
僕がいる場所は素晴らしい世界
どんな所でもどんなときでも
素晴らしき世界よ僕はここにいる
素晴らしき世界よ僕も君の一部さ

いつ頃からか僕は思う
こんなにも毎日は楽しい
緑の中ゆっくり歩き
季節を感じて会いたい人と会う

素晴らしき世界よ僕はここにいる
素晴らしき世界よ僕も君の一部さ
