SAKURA
WITCH NUMBER 4 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
夢見草舞う夜
とても小さく儚いエンディング
時が止まってしまったの
まぶた焼きついてる
誰にも解けないように目を閉じる
忘れそうになっても
たとえばわたしが
あの娘だったとしても
舞い上がる恋の夢
甘く柔いだけかしら
このまま想い続けて
ナキタクナッテ ナキタクナッテ
心に鍵をかけた
初恋はSAKURAになる
それでも咲き続けて
大人になって あなたを忘れてく
街を行き交う人波
早くまぎれたくて
去年の春に試したハイヒール
動かない秒針が
壊れそうになっても
かまわない
この願いが穢れていても
舞い落ちる恋の夢
淡く途切れた後には
断ち切れぬ想いだけ
ハゲシクナッテ ハゲシクナッテ
言えずにかき消された
言葉が傷跡になる
それでも問い続けて
さよならだけ 心に刻んでる
あの並木道
今年も色づきはじめる
花咲く刻さえも選べずに
幻のままでいいの
手のひらすり抜ける影
探してるひとり
いつか見た恋の夢
あの日に負けそうになる
だけどまた恋を知って
ツボミニナッテ ツボミニナッテ
舞い上がる恋の夢
甘く柔いだけかしら
このまま想い続けて
ナキタクナッテ ナキタクナッテ
心に鍵をかけた
初恋はSAKURAになる
それでも咲き続けて
大人になって あなたを忘れてく
