歌詞:

[日本語]

[English]

あーなったのはなぜか今もわからない

I still don't know why it turned out this way

あの言葉が頭から離れない

I can't get those words out of my head

やらなきゃいけないこといっぱい

There are so many things I have to do

なのに今日に限って遅すぎるWi-Fi

Yet today, of all days, the Wi-Fi is too slow

10PM いつもならNetflix

10 PM, usually it's Netflix

ポップコーンとコークでビンジウォッチング

Binge-watching with popcorn and Coke

いやそんな気分になれないし

But I'm just not in the mood for that

眠るにはまだちょっと早過ぎるし

It's still a bit too early to sleep

んーコンビニじゃすぐに終わるし

The convenience store runs out too quickly

出来たばっかのコインランドリーfromベルリン

A brand new coin laundry from Berlin

わざわざポンプフューリーキメて

I went out of my way to wear my Pump Fury

そうやってなんとか騙し騙し

And somehow, I manage to get by

きっと誰にでもあるこんな夜を

I'm sure everyone has nights like this

どうやって過ごすかが重要

How you spend them is what matters

ここは東京

This is Tokyo

Living in the city

Living in the city

少しずつ I become me わかってく

Little by little, I become me, I understand

誰よりも自分のこと

More than anyone, I know myself

Living in the moment

Living in the moment

何度でも笑って泣いて

Laughing and crying over and over

最後にはいつだって前を向いて

In the end, I always look forward

未来に期待したい

I want to have hope for the future

そうやって生きていたい

I want to live like that

...

...

週末はPretty things

On weekends, pretty things

それかTシャツ探しBerBerJin

Or searching for T-shirts in BerBerJin

交差点のビジョンで

In the vision at the intersection

今年のヘッドライナーを知ったり

I learned about this year's headliner

How many 多過ぎる人の波も

How many? Too many waves of people

上手に乗こなす まるでサーフィン

I ride them skillfully, just like surfing

代わり映えしないようなそうでもないような

It feels like nothing changes, yet it does

だけどちゃんと愛おしい生活

But it's a life that's truly dear to me

こっちに来て1つめの恋や

My first love since coming here

勝手に壁に貼られたステッカー

Stickers stuck on the wall without permission

ちょっとくすぐったいような台詞は

Those lines that feel a bit ticklish

酔ってたから許してねsister

Forgive me, sister, I was drunk

全部忘れたくないな

I don't want to forget any of it

抱き締めてたいな

I want to hold on to it all

私は

I am

Living in the city

Living in the city

少しずつ I become me わかってく

Little by little, I become me, I understand

誰よりも自分のこと

More than anyone, I know myself

Living in the moment

Living in the moment

何度でも笑って泣いて

Laughing and crying over and over

最後にはいつだって前を向いて

In the end, I always look forward

未来に期待したい

I want to have hope for the future

そうやって生きていたい

I want to live like that

ある日懐かしい風が吹いて

One day, a nostalgic breeze blows

急に吸い込まれそうになって

Suddenly, I feel like I'm being pulled in

身動きが取れなくなるほど

So much that I can't move

心の奥がキュッとなって

My heart tightens deep inside

だけど意外とこの街は

But surprisingly, this city

寄り添ってくれてるような気がした

Feels like it's embracing me

Heyママ このままでいいかな

Hey mama, is it okay to stay like this?

わからないけどお腹は空くんだな

I don't know, but my stomach is growling

なんだかあの子に会いたいな

I kind of want to see that girl

明日笑ってたいな神様

I want to be smiling tomorrow, God

Living in the city

Living in the city

少しずつ I become me わかってく

Little by little, I become me, I understand

誰よりも自分のこと

More than anyone, I know myself

Living in the moment

Living in the moment

何度でも笑って泣いて

Laughing and crying over and over

最後にはいつだって前を向いて

In the end, I always look forward

未来に期待したい

I want to have hope for the future

そうやって生きていたい

I want to live like that

そうやって生きていこう

I want to keep living like this

こうやって生きていこう

Let's keep living like this
