イルカ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
電話の音ばかり気にしているわ
肩にふれてる指先さえも
あの頃のあなたを感じられない
Follow Me そう言って
Follow Me きっときっと
Follow Me ひきよせて
もう少しそばにいてよ
Follow Me きっときっと
Follow Me かわれるわ
ついて行く もう一度
夏が過ぎる頃私はひとりね
そんな時あなたも
淋しければいいのに
別れの予感を吹き消す様に
街角でかまわない
抱きしめてほしい
Follow Me そう言って
Follow Me きっときっと
Follow Me ひきよせて
もう少しそばにいてよ
FollowMeそう言って
Follow Me きっときっと
FollowMe かわれるわ
ついて行く もう一度
Follow Me そう言って

Follow Me きっときっと
FollowMe かわれるわ

Follow Me きっときっと
FollowMe かわれるわ
ついて行く
