Wings
Utada Hikaru Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jitto senaka wo mitsume
Dakishime you ka kangaeru

Daitan na koto wa souzou suru dake
(Rarara ra rara rarara wou woo)
Ookii bakkari de tobe nai hane
(Anata dake ga watashi no shinyuu)
Sunao na kotoba wa mata oazuke
(Rarara ra rara rarara wou woo )
Kantan ni narete shimau no wa naze
(Anata dake ga watashi no shinyuu)

Ofuro no ondo wa nurume
Amae kata datte chuutohanpa
Sorekoso amae kana

Anshin dekiru atatakai basho de
(Rarara ra rara rarara wou woo)
Daisuki na sakka no hon wo hiraite
(Anata dake ga watashi no shinyuu)

Kinou no kotoba hayaku wasurete
(Rarara ra rara rarara wou woo)
Daisuki na hito wo utagau no wa naze
(Anata dake ga watashi no shinyuu)

Mukai kaze ga CHANSU dayo ima tobe
ENDINGU no sukoshi temae de toji nai de

Ashita ni sonae dekiru koto mo aru kedo
Hayame ni neru yo, kyou wa





Anata no mae de iitai koto wo kami ni kaite
Yumemiteru yo oozora
