TOKYO CITY DREAM at 11PM

TOKYO CITY DREAM at 11PM

灯の消えたビルディング 火のついたWeekend

Buildings with lights out, weekend's just begun

ロータリーじゃタクシー待ち

Waiting for a cab at the roundabout

あぁ超だるい忙しい街

Ah, this busy city, so tiring

遮二無二生きてきた今日と理想の間違いを探し

Living recklessly, searching for the truth between today and my ideals

Where are you from??

Where are you from??

Where are you going??

Where are you going??

君の姿を街灯に探そう

Let’s look for your face under the streetlights

口の中に溜めた愚痴

The complaints I’ve been holding in my mouth

建前のパテを塗り

Applying a false pretense like putty

剥げてきた化粧を落として

Washing off the faded makeup

ヒトに戻ろう

Getting back to who I really am

Chit-Chit-Chat まだ眠らないで

Chit-Chit-Chat, don’t fall asleep yet

明日もKeep in touch さよならじゃないね

Tomorrow too, keep in touch, it’s not goodbye

まだそこにいて もうちょっと聞いて

Stay right there, just a little longer, listen up

Okay I'll be there

Okay, I’ll be there

You're my intimate

You’re my intimate

You're my intimate

You’re my intimate

あんま聞かないで

Don’t ask me too much

やっぱやめないで

Don’t stop now

面倒くさがらないで

Don’t be so complicated

Who I am, You are, 話足りない

Who I am, you are, I still want to talk

たまにしっかり…たまにはだらしない

Sometimes I’m all serious... other times, I’m a mess

笑えないレベルの失敗でも笑い飛ばす次第でさ

Even when I fail so badly I can’t even laugh, I’ll just brush it off

人は一人じゃないって

People aren’t alone

聞き飽きたよもううるさいって

I’m tired of hearing that, it’s so loud already

輪を乱しちゃいけないって？

You say don’t ruin the circle?

お説教終わる前にお会計

Pay the bill before the lecture ends

スクールカースト、マウント、ハラスメント

School hierarchy, power plays, harassment

人と関わる度に腫らす目

Every time I interact with others, my eyes swell up

人生はいたずらに僕達を急かすGAME

Life is just a game rushing us forward without meaning

カッコつけたいあの頃の自分

Trying to act cool, like I did back in those days

でもカッコつかずにまた沈む気分

But falling back into the same dull, uncool feeling

括弧つけ笑って生きる

Living with a grin in parentheses

瘡蓋が剥がされれば傷に沁みる

When scabs are torn off, it stings the wounds

やっと乗れたタクシー

Finally, I got a taxi

狙いすました様に着信

An incoming call, precise as a shot

Okay, 話をしよう

Okay, let’s talk

Chit-Chit-Chat まだ眠らないで

Chit-Chit-Chat, don’t fall asleep yet

明日もKeep in touch さよならじゃないね

Tomorrow too, keep in touch, it’s not goodbye

まだそこにいて もうちょっと聞いて

Stay right there, just a little longer, listen up

Okay I'll be there

Okay, I’ll be there

You're my intimate

You’re my intimate

自分が何かなんて

Who I am, what I am,

自分じゃ一生わからないね

I’ll never truly understand myself

君の目に映るワンシーン、ワンデイ

A snapshot, a single day seen in your eyes

それ次第じゃまだ捨てたもんじゃないぜ

Depending on that, I still won’t give up

Chit-Chit-Chat まだ眠らないで

Chit-Chit-Chat, don’t fall asleep yet

明日もKeep in touch さよならじゃないね

Tomorrow too, keep in touch, it’s not goodbye

まだそこにいて もうちょっと聞いて

Stay right there, just a little longer, listen up

Okay I'll be there

Okay, I’ll be there

You're my intimate

You’re my intimate

You're my intimate

You’re my intimate
