Innocent
Akari Kito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

揺れる想いひとつ 名前をつけてしまえば
昨日までの二人には
戻れない気がしたんだ

待ち合わせした駅前 午後6時 雑踏の中で
すぐ見つけてしまうくらいに
特別にしないでよ 世界
知らないままで笑っている君へ
気づかれてしまわ ないように
窮屈に押し込めた
気持ちが溢れだして
交わした言葉に色がついていく
本当は気づいて欲しかった
空に混ざって消えた
儚く光る願い 届かないまま

仕方ないなんて 言い聞かせたりもした
強くいようとするほど
胸の奥 ツンとする

友達という境界線を引く 二人の間で
またねっていうサヨナラさえ
約束にしたいんだよ お願い

すぐそこにある横顔が 声が
夜の星みたいに 遠くて
もういっそ諦めてしまえば
素直に 笑えるかな
それでも何か期待して歩く
日々に理由を探した
隣で君はどんな
気持ちで笑ってるの?

行き場のない 焦がれてく 想い
多分もう
手遅れだ 膨らみすぎた風船 みたい

知らないままで笑っていたかった
弾けてしまった 感情
思いのままの言葉
今伝えて しまおう
震える声が求めてた場所へ
気持ちを乗せて響いてく
もう目を逸らしたりしない




確かにある それを 恋とよぼう
次は君の 答えを待つ
