終わらない夜に Ready, go

バックビートにのっかって

他人の夢でも見てみたい

重いまぶたにのっかって

不安が夜の宙を舞って

きっと誰かをだめにしてる

あの娘は今も愛を放って

子犬みたいに眠ってる

Oh, every day is watching you

Every day is watching you きみを誰かがよんでるぜ

Oh, every day is watching you

Every day is watching you

世田谷の空はとても狭くて

弾け出すにはなにか足りない

あの娘は今も愛を放って

バックビートにゆられてく

[VERSE 1]
Into the never ending night, ready go

Riding the backbeat

I wanna peek into someone's dream

Riding their droopy eyelids

[VERSE 2]
Anxiety hovers in the air at night

It must be ruining someone's life

That girl is still radiating her love

And sleeping like a puppy

[CHORUS]
Oh, every day is watching you

Every day is watching you, someone is calling you

Oh, every day is watching you

Every day is watching you

Setagaya's sky is very narrow

And something is missing to pop out

That girl is still radiating her love

Swaying to the backbeat

[CHORUS]
Oh, every day is watching you

Every day is watching you, you're supporting someone

Oh, every day is watching you

Every day is watching you

[VERSE 4]
The two of us are still in the autumn sunshine (back, back)

Going on being careless (beat, beat)

We don't dream about tomorrow (back, back)

Riding the backbeat (backbeat)

Riding the backbeat

Riding the backbeat

Backbeat, backbeat
