self control 2004
2AM Lyrics

SELFISH そしてSELF-LOVE...
Acknowledging the duality of caring for oneself and for others.

気づかなかったねそんな
Not realizing the importance of that balance.

TRACE OF MY MISTAKES...
Leaving behind proof of one's imperfections.

希望があるね
This evidence of failure is an opportunity for growth.

宝石のよう…反射してるね
Like a gem, those mistakes can shine and be valuable.

眩しいこの道、あなたに届く…
On this bright path, the possibility of a fulfilling relationship exists.

SELF CONTROL×４
The repeated chant of needing to have self-control to avoid regret.

忘れられない 悲しむ人 たくさんいるから
Out of the many who will be hurt, there will be some who won't be forgotten.

いつもよりも 届けたいよ THIS REAL LOVE
The desire to prove the value of the love being offered with actions.

思い出す事 たくさんあるね
The long, winding road that has been traveled has many memories.

キミと歩んだ この長い道
The journey was shared with someone else.

躓けばすぐに 手をさしのべて
When one falls, there is always someone to reach out and help.

軽い体 抱きかかえて
Being held, lifted up by strength.

すいこまれそうな 暖かい
A feeling of warmth that is almost overwhelming.

唇、重なり合ったね
Lips pressed against each other.

ほんの少し 震えていたね
The excitement causing shivers.

すいこまれていく…とけていく…
Getting lost and melting away.

けなげに時が流れてる
Time passes humbly.

目の前を明るく照らしてる
The brightness of the present illuminating.

鳥たちが旅支度始めてる
The birds preparing for a journey.

時を止めて空気いっぱい吸いこんで…
Taking a moment of stillness to take in one's surroundings.

一つだけ願いがかなうなら
If one wish were to come true.

とっておきのプレゼント
An especially thought-out present.

ソリにのって二人だけの
A ride on a sled for just two people.

夢の中届けに行きたいよ
Wanting to deliver the present in a dream.

広すぎて でもやっぱり一人じゃないから
Feeling overwhelmed, but not alone.

近すぎて 暖かくて うとうとしてくるよ
Being so close and feeling warm, almost making one sleepy.

まだまだ 知らない事
There is still so much that is unknown.

いっぱいあるね キミの事もね
There is a lot to discover about the other person as well.

そしてもっともっと 自分の事
More and more there is to learn about oneself.

分かりたくて 手をさしのべるの！
Reaching out to understand.

本にはさんでた写真取り出して
Taking a photograph out of a book.

鏡に貼り付けて 見つめてた
Sticking it to the mirror and looking at it.

チョットきれいになってたよ
The self looking a little more beautiful.

そんな自分が 好きになった
Starting to love oneself, flaws and all.

いつもより薄めのメークに
Wearing less makeup than usual.

少なめのアクセサリー軽いね…
Wearing fewer accessories, lightening the look.

暗かった空も いつのまにか
Without noticing, the dark sky has cleared.

雲一つなくなってるね！
Not a single cloud obscuring the sky.

大勢の中 一番光ってる
Standing out the most among many.

キミの笑顔に勇気付けられて
Being encouraged by the other's smile.

もっときれいになるんだって
The goal to become even more beautiful.

私の世界一の約束！
A promise to oneself to be the best in one's world.

これ以上 幸せなんかないはずだから
Not believing there could be more happiness than this.

心地いい 二人の波 揺られながら 寄り添う…
Feeling at ease and cuddling while being rocked by gentle waves.

眠りについて 目を閉じて あなたがいるから
Being able to fall asleep with one's eyes closed because the other person is there.

話さなくて 通じ合えて 二人だけの世界だね
Being able to communicate without words in a world that is only for two people.

SELF CONTROL×２
A final reminder to maintain self-control to prevent harm to others and to oneself.

いつもよりも 届けたいよ THIS REAL LOVE
A final plea to express love with true actions.
