Lyric

The Whale

GIOVANNI

みんな歳をとって消えてく

死んだわけじゃないのに

冷たい風を受けながら

温かい海を泳ぐよ

深く息を吸って

ゆっくり吐き出して

生まれたことを確かめながら

今は一人

また泣きそうだ 君が居なくて

浅い海で動けない僕は鯨

この涙で潮が満ちたら

帰る場所はないけど帰ろう

今日も生きた思い出を探す

見つかるわけもないのに

大きなこの身体に入れた

小さな餌で繋いでく

波は優しいけど

時には残酷で

死ねないことを諦めながら

今も一人

サメみたいな肌になって

あの雲に恋をした僕は鯨

立ち止まったら思い出すから

行先などないけど行くのさ

深く息を吸って

ゆっくり吐き出して

生まれたことを確かめながら

今は一人

泣きそうだ 君が居なくて

浅い海で動けない僕は鯨

この涙で潮が満ちたら

帰る場所はないけど帰ろう

立ち止まったら思い出すから

行先などないけど

行こうか
