人それぞれ 感じ方は違うのがルール
そうやって これまで来たんだ
時にはカラ回ってたっていいって思う
いつだってブレない
どんな理由があったって 嫌なものは嫌と言える
似たようで 違うようで
人と人は繋がって 時に隣りを歩いてくれるくらいでいい
そのくらいでいい
素敵なアイロニー さぁ君と踊ろう
邪魔なものは捨て去って
心思うまま 感じるまま
素敵なアイロニー もう言葉じゃなくて
出会うことのすべてを もう一度大切にしないかい？
いっそ
誰より この時代を楽しめるように笑う
そうやって このまま行くんだ
いろいろ悩んでたって どうせ つまりはMy Way
大雑把 お互いに
解り合えなくなったって 今はそういう時だって
似たような 違うような
人と人は繋がって たまに隣りで泣いてくれるくらいでいい
そのくらいでいい
素敵なアイロニー
答えは無いのに
上手に説いても
答えは無いのに…
素敵なアイロニー さぁキミと踊ろう
邪魔なものは捨て去って
心想うまま 感じるまま
素敵なアイロニー もう言葉じゃなくて
願うことの全てを とりあえず
一緒に叶えないかい？
ずっと…
