この手 何度も 何度も 互いに
引いて どこへ 行くかも分からない
キッカケ 待っていたけれど
すれ違うよ Merry-go-round
平凡 まさに そんな週間
月·火·水·木·金 フックなし
いい感じにメロウなチャンスも
訪れないまま
三人寄れば なんかの知恵って
賢い先生が言ってんだ
顔と顔と顔 突き合わして
ディスカッションしようぜ
イメージは いつでも
未来のポップスター
眩しく照らされたい 君と
この手 何度も 何度も その手に
触れて はにかんで 離れてばかりで
リードしようと 張り切って
から回るよ Roundabout
こんなトキメキは 知らないから
秘めて 揺れる 木馬にまたがって
横顔 じっと見惚れてた
敵わないよ Gimme your smile
勉強·部活·バイト·恋愛·その他
パッとしない 充電もない
おひとり ドリンクバー頼んで
オレンジかじった
待って まるで 進展がない
こんなんじゃ 青春が泣いちゃう
誰か ブッ込んで行かなくちゃ
さあ ジャンケンしようぜ
幼気に生きてゆく
世間知らずのスター
フラッシュに囲まれたい 君と
ココにないのに ないものねだって
泣いて せがんで 困らせちゃう少年
いつかの僕ら みたいだね
あどけないよ Babyface
また 夢物語を抱いて
大事なシゴト 後回しにしている
君に 笑ってもらえたら
それで 今日は満点さ
巡り巡って 戻っておいで
最初の瞬間 まっすぐなモーション
一秒だって 無限になって Remaking
ダイヤみたいな きらめく憧憬
レリーフ削り込むように
僕の想いを 歌にして
この手 何度も 何度も 互いに
引いて どこへ 行くかも分からない
キッカケ 待っていたいから
いつも そばに居るよ
この手 何度も 何度も その手に
触れて はにかんで 時々 握った
リードしようと 張り切って
汗だくなんだ Roundabout
こんなトキメキは 知らないけど
いつまでも ずっと忘れたくないね
瞬いた 君のサイン
受け止めるよ Merry-go-round
そんで 今日も ほら Gimme your smile

Again and again, my hand
Pulls each of us to places
That I don’t even know
We waited for an excuse
But we keep passing each other on this Merry-Go-Round
The week’s ordinary as can be
Mon— Tues— Wednes— Thurs— Fri—
Nothing to get us hooked on
I’m getting a good feeling from this mellow chance
Even while it’s not coming to me
Three heads are better than one, whatever that means
That’s what a clever teacher says
Let’s look each other face to face to face
And have a discussion
My image is always a pop star of the future
I want to be dazzlingly shone on along with you
Again and again, my hand
Brushes against others
Getting shy, even though we just left each other
I get excited, trying to get in the lead
Only to turn around again in a Roundabout
Because I don’t know this thrill
I’ll keep that a secret as I mount a shaking wooden horse
Getting charmed by your face fixed in profile
I’m no match for you— Give me your smile, yeah
Studying, clubs, part-time, love, et cetera
It feels I’m not getting jolted enough by them
I went to a drink bar myself and asked for
An orange to taste
Wait, it’s almost like there’s no connection
At this rate, our youth’s gonna cry
We have to go slam into someone
Come on, let’s play rock-paper-scissors
Living along innocently, a star knowing nothing of the world
I want to be enveloped in flashes along with you
It’s not here, but it’s something we don’t have
Crying and getting troubled, a young boy gets worried
Just like how we were that time
With an angelic babyface
I still keep that story of my fantasies close to me
While procrastinating on my important job
If I can just get you to smile
That’s enough: today’s the best point
Wandering around and around, I’m being called back
In a straightforward motion to the very first moment
Even a second can become infinity if I keep remaking
This shining aspiration is just like a diamond
As if scraping out and forming the relief
I’ll make my feelings into a song
Again and again, my hand
Pulls each of us to places
That I don’t even know
Since I want to wait for an excuse
I’m always here by your side
Again and again, my hand
Brushes against others
Getting shy, and sometimes held tight
I get excited, trying to get in the lead
Only to end up dripping with sweat in a Roundabout
Even though I don’t know this thrill
I’ll never, ever want to forget it
I blinked and saw a sign of you
You better accept this Merry-Go-Round
So now, today again, come on— Give me your smile
