Toki Wo Tomete
동방신기 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

急ぐように 夏の星座たちが
ビルの谷間に 傾いて隠れてく
通り過ぎる 僕らの毎日
ちっぽけな事で
泣きそうな時もある
いつか君が行きたがっていた
あの店はもう
無くなってしまったけど
どんな日も 僕たちは
「ふたりの恋は終わらない」と
信じていた
時ヲ止メテ ずっと君の
そばにいたい
見上げた空 願い込めて
ひとつひとつ 輝く星 繋げながら
君の形... 探してた

好きだよって 上手に言えなくって
波打ち際で震えた 幼い恋
たどたどしく 並んだ目と目が
瞬きさえも 惜しいと感じていた
砂に書いた誓いはすぐに
引く波にさらわれて
消えてしまっても
あの頃の 僕たちは
「ふたりの恋は変わらない」と
信じていた
時ヲ止メテ ずっと君の
そばにいたい
もっと君を 抱きしめたい
ひとつひとつ 君の事を
覚えながら
永遠だけ... 信じてた

時ヲ止メテ ずっと君の
そばにいたい
見上げた空 願い込めて
ひとつひとつ 輝く星 繋げながら
君の形... 探してた
時ヲ止メテ ずっと君の
そばにいたい
もっと君を 抱きしめたい
ひとつひとつ 君の事を




覚えながら
永遠だけ... 信じてた
