Sakura
Dean Fujioka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
呟くベッドの中 吐息感じた
喋り尽くし無言の電話
目を閉じて広がる世界
「あのさ 今から会おうよ」
居ても立っても居られないよ
震えたままの声 動き出すワンダーランド
まるで映画の一コマ
君は「どこに行くの?」って
僕は聞こえぬフリして
秘密分け合うように
片寄せて交わしたキス
いつもの交差点
通り過ぎてく光
眩し過ぎて最後の言葉
なぜか見つからない
I gotta say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
風に乗せて
さあ fly away
You'll find your shining star
No matter where you are
動き出した夢を
追いかけて
"Everything's gonna be alright"
明日のこと心配しない
声枯れても語り尽くせない
放課後の先にある未来
「だから また会おうよ」
はじめの一歩踏み出そうよ
それぞれの旅立ち これから未体験ゾーン
起こるかもしれない奇跡
「時よ止まれ」だなんて
僕は確かめたくて
変わらない 形ないもの
夕日に染まっていく
高鳴る鼓動なぜなのか
理由なんていらない
君と一緒に歌うこのメロディー
きっとずっと色褪せない
I gotta say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
風に乗せて
さあ fly away
You'll find your shining star
No matter where you are
動き出した夢を
追いかけて
あの日あの時あの場所で
分かち合った物語を
ねえ まだ君は覚えてるかな
今年また散ってくサクラ
Are you ready for this? Come on!
I gotta say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
You best believe you can fly away
Make it bright in the sky
You'll find your shining star
No matter where you are
You know you gotta give it a try
That's what makes you smile
I gotta say goodnight
You know tonight's the night
Someday you'll get there
take it one day at a time
You'll find your shining star
No matter where you are
I'll pray for you always in my heart
Let it guide your way
