Because
Sugiyama Kiyotaka Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

あああなたの知らない女性と
ああ出逢って変わった僕だよ
真夜中に電話しても
呼び出しのベルだけ
空っぽの部屋のドア
叩いたあの日
今、昔のことだから
思い出してしまう

恋の傷跡鮮やか
今、昔のことみたく
話すことができる
素敵な......MM Because

もう 2人は知らない同志さ
もう一緒に歩いただけだよ
レコードの趣味さえも
変わったと聞いたよ
6月のバースディ間に合わないね
今、どうしているだろう
しあわせならいいと
少し淋しく思った
今、どこかで友達の
顔をして逢いたい
素敵な......MM Because

真夜中に電話しても
呼び出しのベルだけ
空っぽの部屋のドア
叩いたあの日
今、昔のことだから
思い出してしまう
恋の傷跡鮮やか
今、昔のことみたく

話すことができる
素敵な......MM Because
