STEP you
濱崎步 Ayumi Hamasaki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We acted in a moment and displayed our habits.
Though I don't have to remind myself not to forget,
From somewhere within me, fully...
Wow oh oh oh oh no no no no
I remember YOU and ME
SO 1.2.3.4, one by one
I want to know you well
SO 1.2.3.4, one by one
1.2. STEP you, in this way
No one can stop me now
wow wow so wow wow
Oh wow wow so wow wow
1.2.3.4 YOU and ME?
"Where are you, what are you doing around this time?"
Right after I thought such things,
Even for just a moment,
I wanted you to remember me.
Wow oh oh oh oh no no no no
I wished for YOU and ME
SO 1.2.3.4, for a while
1.2 STEP you, sometime soon
I am becoming greedy
1.2.3.4, for a while
1.2 STEP you, sometime soon
Will I begin to want only your smile?
wow wow so wow wow
Oh wow wow so wow wow
The gap between idealism and reality
Is so very cutting
And as we cannot cut them off, they are opening up.
Oh yeah yeah yeah
In this place, will we give up?
Or will we persevere and do our very best?
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
SO 1.2.3.4 YOU and ME?
SO 1.2.3.4, one by one
1.2 STEP you, in this way
I want to know you well
SO 1.2.3.4, one by one
1.2. STEP you, in this way
No one can stop me now
SO 1.2.3.4, for a while
1.2 STEP you, sometime soon
I am becoming greedy
1.2.3.4, for a while
1.2 STEP you, sometime soon
Will I begin to want only your smile?
wow wow so wow wow
Oh wow wow so wow wow
Wow wow so wow wow
Oh wow wow so wow wow
