lyrics

今きみは　何もわからないだろうね
完璧に満たされた　からっぽの中で
ひとり当て所なく　彷徨うきみを
ぼくが助けてあげる

全てを振り捨て　手に入れた自由も
自分を信じられずに　持て余している
少し痛いけど　怖くはないよ
あらゆる苦しみから　解き放ってあげる

I wonder what is going on 'round you
泣き縋る声も　遠くなっていく
I wonder what is going on 'round you
きみはひとり　救いを待っている

あまりに普通で　気が狂うほどの
無感動で生温い　夢をみている
良識を笠に着た　世間の人は
きみとぼくとのことを　わかったように言うかな

I wonder what is going on 'round you
眠りに落ちるように　苦痛は去っていく
I wonder what is going on 'round you
ぼくはきみを　とても愛している

I wonder what is going on 'round you
どんなに叫んでも　たぶん nobody can find you
I wonder what is going on 'round you
きみはやがて　理想になっていく

I wonder what is going on 'round you
誰も見てないよ　たとえ no matter what you do

I wonder what is going on 'round you

君はいつも　わかったふりをする


I bet at this moment you don’t get it at all
In a space perfectly filled yet totally empty
You wander around with nowhere to go
I am the one who can save you

The freedom you got by leaving everything behind
You don’t know what to do with ‘cause you don’t trust yourself
It will hurt a little, but you don't have to fear
I will deliver you from any and all pain

I wonder what is going on ’round you
You cry and beg but your voice is getting lost
I wonder what is going on ’round you
You are all alone waiting to be saved

Caught in a maddeningly ordinary
Emotionless and tepid dream
Will self-righteous people living in this world
Speak of us as if they understand

I wonder what is going on ’round you
Like falling into sleep the pain will fade away
I wonder what is going on ’round you
I love you so very much

I wonder what is going on ’round you
Scream all you want, it's likely nobody can find you
I wonder what is going on ’round you
Little by little you will become the ideal

I wonder what is going on ’round you
Nobody’s watching, no matter what you do

I wonder what is going on 'round you

You always pretend that you understand
