初めて出会ったその日から
魅惑の瞳に酔いしれて
image.....just keep comin' on
こんなに恋したら体ごと
一つに溶け去ってしまいそう
damage.....keep me hangin' on
愛しさのチカラ心は舞い上がって
この空の果てまで

思いの強さを夜毎に競い合って
白い鳥の翼
不埒な夢を舞い降りて
君にだんだん近くなって行く
体中で愛を奏でて
広がる果てしない未来へ
蒼い黎明胸が痛むほど
keep movin' on to you
愛の世界へ
come over......

首筋のキスで笑い出して
それだけで全て許し合って
こんなに簡単なことね
飽きっぽいお前はそろそろって
みんなは言うけどまだまだで
このまま行けそうだね?
おんなじ所で怒ったり泣いたりして
この時の果てまで
期待値を超えて大胆に分かり合って
二人で飛ぶ翼
love come down to me

不埒な夢を舞い降りて
君がだんだん近くなって来る
二人だけの愛の姿へ
広がる果てしない未来へ
世俗混沌ものともしないで
keep movin' on to love

愛の世界へ
come over......
