あした晴れるか
来生たかお Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

どうしてあなたは涼しげでいられる
ふれるほど近くくちびる胸もと
こんなにも僕を危険にさせとく

愛してもいいはずそれでも時が熟さない
せきたてる心に追いつかなくて
現実はままならない

自然に抱きよせ人波の街角
車のブレーキ後でひびいて
条件反射で二人は横向く

たまらなく恋ならチャンスはいまだおとずれず
たまらなくおろかな男になっていきそうで
ままならない

あやういベールを季節に重ねて
あなたは日毎に女になってく

たまらなく恋ならあした晴れるか晴れないか
少しでも恋なら夢は見れるか見れないか
風に聞くよ

愛してもいいはずあした晴れるか晴れないか

たまらなく恋ならつき進んでく心なら
風が知ってる
