常温で生きれば
胸など激しく揺さぶられる事は無い
寒くもなきゃ熱もない
そう　健康的でいいのかも

でも私は違うんだ
そうなんだ　あなたの声や一つの表情で
炎になり　また凍り付いたり
極端を行き交うの

冷静に振る舞うあなたはいつも
落ち着かない私を複雑と言う
単純に燃え上がる火の元が
自分だと気付かない

恋しくて　恋しくて　気がくるうよ
この愛に限度など無い
伝えたい　伝えたい　あなたへの想い
大袈裟で丁度いい

卵の殻のように私は脆く
あなたの言葉で一瞬に
一万の欠片に割れても
決しておかしくはない

誰かの空を飛び回るより
あなたの大地を彷徨っていたい
荒れている生命の無い土地に
私の花を咲かせよう

愛しくて　愛しくて　美しいよ
私だけ　私だけ見て
伝えたい　伝えたい　あなたへの想い
大袈裟で丁度いい

永遠に　永遠に　あなただけに
満たされて　満たされていたい
伝えたい　伝えたい　届きますように
大袈裟に　大袈裟に
“愛してる”
