Bay side love story ～from Tokyo～
奥井雅美 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

あてもないのに鳴らす靴音
肌寒いBay side 出会った二人
モノレールから見下ろす夜景
言葉なく引かれ合い寄り添った
全てなくしたってあなたを守れる
一途な恋をしていたい...
止まった時計してる私を
知らないふりをして笑っている

優しい瞳
大人びたセリフ言う横顔に
心から甘えたいいつだって
私の方が長い月日を
生きてきたジェラシーが
邪魔をする
夢追いかけるなら走り続けるなら
独りがいいと言われそう...
止まった時計してる私を
知らないふりをして笑っている
優しい瞳

全てなくしたってあなたを守れる
一途な恋をしています...
今どき古い奴と言われる
女の生き方で歩いて行く
涙は捨てて

女の生き方で歩いて行く
涙は捨てて
