ひとりぼっち東京

優しくない街に降りた

人の波に乗って抜ける駅の改札

すれ違う人の 知らない匂いになぜか

懐かしい思い出が巡ってる

蘇る

駅前ファストフード

揚げたてのポテトはラッキー

緩やかに下る坂道を歩いて

踏切の音 遠く聴こえた気がする

それでもうしろ振り向かずに進むよ

いくよ？せーの！重いドアを押せば

変われるような気がして

ギターの音が 熱くなるのは

わたしの中に青い炎があるから

重なる声が 耳に届いてる間は

さみしくないんだよ

ちょっと優しく見えた東京

さみしがり東京

みんなひとりきりなんだ

だからまた誰かとつながり合いたいの

なんだっていいよ 好きなものやことならハッピー

絶対共通言語があるよ

あのさ！なあに？言えない夢ばかりだ

けど、いつか聞いてね

きっと君になら…

ギターの音が 歪んでるのは

わたしの中に青い炎があるから

重なる声を すぐに届けにゆくから

さみしくさせないよ

もうちょっとだけまってて東京

大都会 空に向かって 伸びていくビルに夕焼け

駆け出せ 目を開け

影 引き連れてゆけ

ひとりじゃない

ギターの音が 熱くなるのは

わたしの中に青い炎があるから

重なる声が 耳に届いてる間は

さみしくないんだよ

ちょっと優しく見えた東京

誰もがひとりぼっち東京

On my own in Tokyo

I arrived in an unkind city

Flooded out by a wave of people through the station gate

Somehow, the unfamiliar scent of the surrounding people

Brings up nostalgic memories

It's revived

The station-front fast-food restaurant

Freshly cooked fries, how lucky

Walking down the slowly descending slope

The sound of the railway crossing feels far away

Even so, I'll keep moving on without looking back

Are you ready? Let's go! When I knock down the heavy door

It feels like I'm changing

The sound of the guitar flares up

There's a young flame burning inside me

As overlapping voices reach my ears

I no longer feel alone

It seems to be a little kinder, this Tokyo

A lonely Tokyo

Everyone is on their own

So I once again want to connect with another

It doesn't matter how; I'll be happy as long as we do something I enjoy

A universal form of communication surely exists

Hey, um! What's up? There's a dream I can't talk about

But, one day, if you were to ask

Then maybe if it's you...

The sound of the guitar becomes distorted

There's a young flame burning inside me

I'll immediately pass on these overlapping voices

So you no longer feel alone

Just wait a bit longer, Tokyo

The sunset over the buildings stretches towards the sky of the big city

Start running, open your eyes

Take the shadows with you

You're not alone

The sound of the guitar flares up

There's a young flame burning inside me

As overlapping voices reach my ears

I no longer feel alone

It seems to be a little kinder, this Tokyo

Everyone is alone in Tokyo
