Wings
宇多田ヒカル Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

じっと背中を見つめ
抱きしめようか考える

大胆なことは想像するだけ (ラララらララ ラララヲウヲオ)
大きいばっかりで飛べない羽 (あなただけが私の親友)
素直な言葉はまたおあずけ (ラララらララ ラララヲウヲオ)
簡単に慣れてしまうのはなぜ (あなただけが私の親友)
お風呂の温度はぬるめ
あまえ方だって中途半端 それこそ甘えかな

安心できる暖かい場所で (ラララらララ ラララヲウヲオ)
大好きな作家の本を開いて (あなただけが私の親友)
昨日の言葉早く忘れて (ラララらララ ラララヲウヲオ)
大好きな人を疑うのはなぜ (あなただけが私の親友)

向かい風がチャンスだよ 今飛ベ
エンディングの少し手前で閉じないで

明日に備え出来ることもあるけど
早めに寝るよ 今日は





あなたの前で言いたいことを
紙に書いて夢見てるよ大空
