Your T-shirts, I threw them out
昨日に just saying goodbye
Maybe someday 胸の痛みも go away
だから I will be alright (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I drove away from the parking lot (Yeah)
飛ばす freeway, no rewind (Yeah)
思い出はもう left behind (Whoa, whoa)
Wind blowing me through the window (Yeah)
Sun shining through all the rain clouds (Yeah)
I guess it's the way that it goes (Goes)

I'm breaking out like a shooting star (Shooting star)
輝きだす この heart
No matter what they say 今は
I'll be waiting for the rainbow (Rainbow)
I'll be waiting for the rainbow (Rainbow)
I'll be waiting for the rainbow (Rainbow)
I'll be waiting for the rainbow (Rainbow)
I'll be waiting for the rainbow

No pain, no gain
振り向かず ただ move on
So let's just move on
It's time to re-live (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I drove away from the parking lot (Yeah)
飛ばす freeway, no rewind (Yeah)
思い出はもう left behind (Whoa, whoa)
Wind blowing me through the window (Yeah)
Sun shining through all the rain clouds (Yeah)
I guess it's the way that it goes (Goes)

I'm breaking out like a shooting star (Shooting star)
輝きだす この heart
No matter what they say 今は
I'll be waiting for the rainbow
I'll be waiting for the rainbow (Rainbow)
I'll be waiting for the rainbow (Rainbow)
I'll be waiting for the rainbow (Rainbow)
(I'll be waiting for the rainbow)

I'm breaking out like a shooting star
輝きだす この heart
No matter what they say 今は
I'll be waiting for the rainbow
I'll be waiting for the rainbow (Rainbow)
I'll be waiting for the rainbow (Oh)
I'll be waiting for the rainbow (Rainbow)
I'll be waiting for the rainbow

この歌詞の冒頭と最後の英詞の意味を
大切な存在を
わかっていたはずなのに
抜け出せなかった 踏み出せなかった
この曲が出た頃から失った10年を
今噛みしめています。

本当に心から
この曲の全ての意味を理解して
重く受け止めていたら…
もっと早く気付けたかな、
でも時間は戻ってこない。

失ったからこそ、得るものもある
またそんなふうに思えるように
また誰かの涙を掬えるように

ただ歌うのを楽しんでいた自分から
しっかり想いを込めて歌い残すこと
それしかできないかなと思います。

安室ちゃん
大切なことを
教えてくれて 歌ってくれて
ありがとう。
