川田まみ Lyrics
I'm always running after you.
You are my ideal. You are me.
I'm always running after you.
You are my ideal. You are me.
I'm always running after you.
You are my ideal. You are me.
これ以上遠くまで飛べない鳥がいた
傷もない立派な羽で
青空をなじった
【コノ場所モ悪クナイ
アノ空ハ高クナイ
コノ場所モ良クハナイ】
体で感じる速度を恐れてる
誰にでもチャンスは持てる...
その先へ行けない
【本当ハ飛ビ立テナイ
本当ハ飛ビ立チタイ】
今叶えたい願いの向こうで輝く
君がいる
瞳に映す
「未来に立って、いつも強くて」
そんな君が僕さ
君はまだ眩しいけど
同じ気持ちでこの手伸ばして
いつか掴む現実の僕が 君になるよ
I'm always running after you.
You are my ideal. You are me.
まだまだ純粋で無垢な夢だった
磁石みたいに欲しいもの
全て引き寄せてた
【コレダケハ譲レナイ
コレモマタ譲レナイ】
瓦礫に埋もれたって孤独に生きてる
君がいた
瞳が望む
「今までずっと...
これからもっと!」明日の君は僕さ
脱ぎ捨ててその殻ごと
裸になって身軽になって
また探そうよ
光る原石に僕がなるよ
I'm always running after you.
You are my ideal. You are me.
I'm always running after you.
You are my ideal. You are me.
足元に転がった小石を蹴り飛ばした
飛んでゆけ、この想い
瞳に揺れる
理想の僕と昨日の僕が
いつもすれ違いで
あと少し届かないよ
君ならきっと、
苦しくたって笑い飛ばして...
瞳に映す
「未来に立って、いつも強くて」
そんな君が僕さ
君はまだ眩しいけど
同じ気持ちでこの手伸ばして
いつか掴む現実の僕が
君になるよ 君になるよ ...
You are my ideal. You are me.
I'm always running after you.
You are my ideal. You are me.
I'm always running after you.
You are my ideal. You are me.
これ以上遠くまで飛べない鳥がいた
傷もない立派な羽で
青空をなじった
【コノ場所モ悪クナイ
コノ場所モ良クハナイ】
