TWO-MIX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
この胸の鼓動は
あなたへと続いてる so far away
もう 傷ついてもいい
瞳をそらさずに
熱く 激しく 生きていたい
あきらめない強さをくれる
I just feel "rhythm emotion"
過ちも痛みも
鮮やかな 一瞬の光へと 導いて
I just feel "rhythm emotion"
この胸の鼓動は
あなたへと続いてる so far away
そう しなやかに時代を
素肌で受け止めて
もっと"やさしさ"見つけたいよ
全てがきらめいてた
幼い日の"奇跡"取り戻して
I just feel "rhythm emotion"
お互いのせつなさ
感じ合い 分け合える ぬくもりを信じてる
I just feel "rhythm emotion"
このkissで確かな
情熱を伝えたい so far away
I just feel "rhythm emotion"
過ちも痛みも
鮮やかな 一瞬の光へと 導いて
I just feel "rhythm emotion"
この胸の鼓動は
あなたへと続いてる so far away
