浜田麻里 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

誰もいない部屋はときに優しい
凍えた夢集まる夜更けには
壊れかかってる心涙が繋いで
星に変える in my empty room
会いたい気持ちはつのっていくの
想い出に心をもてあそばれて
微熱をきますように
疲れたままの1日を

包んでいく時間
幾度もこみあげて
言いそびれてた言葉も
愛に変える in my empty room
眠らない夜が悲しみ癒すの
絶え間なく揺れてる
時代の片隅で...
会いたい気持ちが綴る物語
とめどなくあふれる
夢のまた夢
誰もいない部屋で
生まれた星くずの

銀河を愛は縫ってつづいてく
in my empty room
