Playing Pretend

SkyLaboratory

Just me... and the night

And you

City lights, blurring on the dashboard

We're cruising through the dark, going nowhere

The silence is loud, heavy like a storm

この距離感が、ただ苦しくて

You keep me close, but never close enough

Walking the line of "just friends" is getting tough

I'm suffocating in this endless ride

触れられない肩が、冷たい

We're just playing pretend in the passenger seat

Drinking up this sweet poison, missing a heartbeat

"You're special" you say, but you won't make it official

この situationship... it's tearing me apart

Playing pretend, yeah, we're playing pretend

終わりの見えない、この dead end

Make it official, or let me go

このままじゃ、心がもたないよ

Caught at a red light, staring at your profile

Who's really on your mind behind that smile?

I'm stuck in this loop, losing all control

都合のいい夜だけ、呼ばないで

The window reflects a tear I try to hide

You turn the radio up, ignoring the vibe

I'm sitting right here, but I feel so far

隣にいるのに、誰より遠い

You keep me close, but never close enough

Walking the line of "just friends" is getting tough

I'm suffocating in this endless ride

期待するだけ、馬鹿みたいだ

We're just playing pretend in the passenger seat

Drinking up this sweet poison, missing a heartbeat

"You're special" you say, but you won't make it official

この situationship... it's tearing me apart

Are we something real? Or just killing time?

答えを聞くのが怖くて、飲み込んだ言葉

I need a sign, or I gotta let you go

この暗闇から、早く連れ出して

We're just playing pretend in the passenger seat

Drinking up this sweet poison, missing a heartbeat

"You're special" you say, but you won't make it official

この situationship... it's tearing me apart

Playing pretend, yeah, we're playing pretend

終わりの見えない、この dead end

Make it official, or let me go

このままじゃ、心がもたないよ

Yeah, the most painful situationship

No more playing pretend

Just me... the night... and this empty seat

「言葉にならない境界線。解けない、甘い毒。」
言葉と態度がすれ違う夜、車内の暗闇で描かれるのは「1枚の写真」のように切り取られた止まった一瞬のポートレート。
アメリカ特有の「Situationship(曖昧な関係)」がもたらす絶望的な温度差と、相手にとっての“唯一の存在”になれないもどかしさ。手を伸ばせば届く距離にありながら、決して越えられない幾何学的な境界線を前に、アイデンティティへの鋭い問いかけと深い孤独が溢れ出す。
バウンシーなPluggnBのビートとエモーショナルなシンセプラックに乗せて贈る、全編英語のグルーヴの中にふと覗く日本語の切なさ。
曖昧な関係の痛みを抱えるすべての人へ捧げる、極上のオルタナティブR&B。
