Angela Aki

Released: June 14, 2006

[Verse 1]
彼女に会ったのは
昨日の午後の事
病院のロビーで
「私の名前は宇宙と申します」
彼女は言うなり

[Pre-Chorus]
星屑でできたスカートを
持ち上げ隣に座った

[Chorus]
「何故泣いているの?」と聞かれて、
涙を言葉にした。
「愛する人がもう戻ってこないから」

[Verse 2]
「ついて来なさい」と言われ外に出た
景色が変わっていた
空には五つの月がぶら下がり

[Pre-Chorus]
私の背後にいないはずのあなたが
何も無かったように抱きしめてくれた

[Chorus]
足元の石が笑った
彼女も微笑んで言った
「娘よ、これでも終わりを信じるの?」

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Oh-oh

[Refrain]
あなたと私は
どこか平行に存在している
宇宙、宇宙、宇宙
あなたと私の意識は
いつでも繋がっているんだ
宇宙、宇宙、宇宙

[Outro]
彼女が口にした最後の言葉は
「永遠とは今」
