松本孝弘 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

愛のままにわがままに僕は君だけを傷つけない
「もう信じられない」とつぶやいて君はうつむいて
不安材料腰にぶらさげた僕の心にかみついた

ぴたりと吸いつくように相性いいことわかってる
ふたりだからイケるとこまでイこうよ
愛のままにわがままに僕は君だけを傷つけない
太陽が凍りついても僕と君だけよ消えないで

そう信じる者しか救わないせこい神様拝むよりは
僕とずっといっしょにいる方が気持ちよくなれるから

ツライつらいとわめいてるばかりじゃ心にしわが増えるだけ
ふたりだから楽しく踊ろよ

愛のままにわがままに僕は君だけを傷つけない
太陽が凍りついても僕と君だけよ消えないで

つないだ手なら離さないふりしきる雨の中で
ほこりまみれの絆も輝きはじめる

愛のままにわがままに僕は君だけを傷つけない
太陽が凍りついても僕と君だけよ消えないで

今だから好きなんだからあきらめながらは生きないで
他人(だれか)の血が流れても一途な想いをふりかざそう
