Angela Aki

Released: September 19, 2007

[Verse 1]
真夜中のホテルの部屋　膝枕をしてあげる
寂しそうに光る星が　髪の毛に隠れてる
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
別れた方が二人のため
誰もがきっとそう言うだろう
理屈の手で　正義の目で　毎日裁かれる

[Pre-Chorus]
エデンの園からも　とうとう追い出された
Oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
二人に残るものは　ひび割れた未来と
この愛のうた　愛のうただけ
限られた時間の中で　燃焼しつくして
この愛のうたを歌うんだ
Oh

[Verse 3]
純白なこのシーツに熱い誓いをくるんでも
罪悪の意識は　そっとベッドの下に潜んでる

[Pre-Chorus]
忍び込む朝日が傷口を照らすよ

[Chorus]
あなたに捧げられる　ただ一つのものは
この愛のうた　愛のうただけ
たとえ妥協に追われても
絶望に影踏まれても
この愛のうたを歌うんだ
Yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
Oh
愛のうたを歌うんだ
Oh

[Chorus]
二人に残るものは　ひび割れた未来と
この愛のうた　愛のうただけ
限られた時間の中で　燃焼しつくして
この愛のうたを歌うんだ
たとえ妥協に追われても　絶望に影踏まれても
この愛のうたを歌うんだ
愛のうたを歌うんだ

[Outro]
Calling, calling
Calling, I'm calling your name
Oh-oh, I'm calling, calling
Calling, I'm calling your name
Oh-oh, I'm calling, calling
Calling, I'm calling your name
Oh-oh, I'm calling, calling
Calling, I'm calling your name
Oh-oh-oh
