Picking Up the Dream (Live ver.) #ライブ行こうぜ

[Verse 1] We weren't even a real band (まともなバンドですらなかった) Just kids hanging out after school (放課後に集まってただけのガキだった) In the only studio in this town (この街に一軒だけのスタジオで) We played like we knew what we were doing (分かったフリして音を鳴らしてた) [Verse 2] Then one idiot booked a show (ある日、アホがライブを決めた) Everyone said “no way” (みんな無理だって言った) But somehow we looked excited (でもどこか楽しそうだった) Guess we were hoping for something (きっとどこかで期待してた) [Pre-Chorus] That day came way too fast (その日はすぐに来た) That idiot was the most nervous of all (そのアホが一番ビビってた) [Chorus] There was no crowd, just a few familiar faces (観客なんていなくて、知り合いが少しだけ) It wasn’t even something you could call music (あれは音楽なんて呼べるもんじゃなかった) Under those silent, piercing eyes (無言の視線が突き刺さる中で) Our first show fell apart (初ライブはボロボロだった) Still, only one of us was having fun (それでも、楽しかったのは一人だけ) [Verse 3] One by one, they disappeared (一人、また一人と消えていった) I guess they couldn’t take the shame (あの屈辱に耐えられなかったんだと思う) “Just quit already” (「もうやめろ」) “You’ve got no talent” (「お前には才能がない」) [Bridge] Even I thought maybe they were right (さすがに俺も、そうかもしれないと思った) So I threw it all away and quit music (全部捨てて、音楽をやめた) Time went on while I just watched from the outside (外から眺めてるだけの時間が続いた) [Verse 4] Time kept moving on without me (時間だけが過ぎていった) Then one day, I found something (そんな時に出会った) A completely different way to make music (まったく違う形の音楽に) But somehow, it felt just the same (なのに、あの頃と同じだった) [Pre-Chorus 2] Maybe I’m still that same idiot (俺はまだあのアホのままかもしれない) Still chasing that broken stage (壊れたステージを追いかけてる) [Final Chorus] Now I’m picking up the dream we left behind (今、置いてきた夢を拾い集めてる) Different shape, but with the same fire (形は違うけど、同じ熱のままで) I might fail again, I know that (また失敗するかもしれないけど) Still I’m making songs for a stage again (それでもまたステージのために音を鳴らしてる) Picking up the dream we left behind (置いてきた夢を拾い上げて) I’m starting again from here (またここから始めてる)
