One×Time
大塚愛 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
それを右にそれを左に
それを上に上に
目が合ったので
それをさらに上に上に
おでこにキスした
まるで 針のない 時計
心に魔法をかけてみたくなった
今から言う言葉が合図になったら
興味深い時間の始まり
指先を遊ばせて 体中を走った
真ん中下へ 真ん中下へ
すべるようにように
目が合ったので
それをさらに下に下に
這うようにキスした
重なる 一瞬の時計
君の瞳の中の星 見つめていたら
心に魔法をかけてみたくなった
今から言う言葉が合図になったら
興味深い時間の始まり
君の瞳の中の星 見つめていたら
心に魔法をかけてみたくなった
今から言う言葉が合図になったら
興味深い時間の始まり
溶けるように 重なる
また 離れていく
2人が刻んでゆく
One time
