TWO-MIX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
BE IN LOVE WITH YOU
多少後悔するかも...で・も・ね...
今に素直になれる
自分が好きたから!!
光の花束 片手に抱いて
駆け出して行けば 春風そよぐ
25分後のあなたか笑う...
思い過ごし悩んで
自己嫌悪乗り越えて
少しずつ 手に入れた
"自然体(わたしらしさ)"
だから...
I WILL FOLLOW YOU
BE IN LOVE WITH YOU
そっと寄り添って 腕組みしたい...
I WILL FOLLOW YOU
BE IN LOVE WITH YOU
ちょっと弱気になる部分捨てて
今日は思い切りよく
告白(こころ)を伝えたい!!
正直言うとね 幾つか恋も
したけど 夢中になれずにいたよ
背伸びで飾って 無理してめげて...
いい子を演じて 疲れて泣いて...
"空色"の胸騒ぎ
会うたびに感じてた...
ふざけ合う無邪気さの
中に愛が見えた...
I WILL FOLLOW YOU
BE IN LOVE WITH YOU
割とOK(イケ)そーな!?
予感もしてる...
I WILL FOLLOW YOU
BE IN LOVE WITH YOU
もっと健気に頑張り見せて
今日は魅力100%(すべて)を
あなたに伝えたい!!
I WILL FOLLOW YOU
BE IN LOVE WITH YOU
そっと寄り添って 腕組みしたい...
I WILL FOLLOW YOU
BE IN LOVE WITH YOU
ちょっと弱気になる部分捨てて
今日は思い切りよく
告白(こころ)を伝えたい!!
