misono Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

走ったり立ち止まったり
「恋にも信号　あればいいのに...」
なんて
いざ青に変わってもまだ
君への一歩進めずにいる
前向くキモチ　止められない
知る度に加速してゆく
「山あり谷あり」よそ見しないで

ウチだけを見ていて欲しいねん
アクセル全開　鈍感
方向音痴のあなたをほっておけない
急ブレーキかけては　ドキドキ
困らせてしまうけど
シートベルト?!　じゃなくて君が
つかまえていて
君の事はウチが一番
知っているから「お任せ」を選んで
ウチを幸せにするのも
君しかいない　ルート検索
ケンカしながら
抜け道を探して遠回りしてる
何処へ行っても　何を見ても
2人ならそれでいいんだもん
コンプレックスだって　愛しい
涙も悪いクセも
丸ごと受け止めるから
素直になるだけ
勇気も可愛さもいらない
この自分で　勝負するから
覚悟していて
カーステレオの好きな曲も
行き先も2人おんなじ
標識もない　マニュアルもない
君についてゆくしかない
永い道のりで
迷いも悩みもあるけど
一緒なら乗り越えられる
君の助手席でこのまま
2人の未来に着くまで

もう離したくない
何処までも行こう
