伝えたい伝えられない
もどかしい気持ちで
この胸 張ち切れそうだよ

内気な自分直せば
デートの約束も
照れずに言い出せるのに

ふいに見せた笑顔
今日も眠れない
ドキドキしている恋してる!

この恋つかみ取りたい
今は片想いだけれど
あなたを振り向かせるから
真剣に話を聞いて!

形のないものだから
いつも行方知れずの恋
誰にも もう止められない
かけがえのないときめきを※

叶えたい叶えられない
あなたを想うたび
ため息増える毎日

映画のワンシーンのような
気の利いた言葉で
愛を打ち明けられたら

受話器握りしめて
彼にダイヤルした
友達以上になれるかな?

本気で恋したいから
今も大事なひとだから
勇気を出して飛び込もう
この距離が近づくように

形のないものだから
いつも行方知れずの恋
このままチャンス逃さない
二度と無い青春だから

この恋つかみ取りたい
今は片想いだけれど
あなたを振り向かせるから
真剣に話を聞いて!

Every Little Thing

Every Little Thing (エヴリ・リトル・シング), often abbreviated as ELT or elt, is a Japanese pop and soft rock duo who originally debuted as a trio in August of 1996 with the single Feel My Heart. At the time of debut, the members were Mitsuru Igarashi, Kaori Mochida and Ichiro Ito.

The group was originally formed because Mitsuru Igarashi, who was a producer for avex trax at the time, was searching for a female vocalist for a duo. Kaori Mochida, who was a student and former member of the group The Kuro Buta All-Stars, had sent in a demo to Mitsuru and he had been so speechless by Kaori’s vocals, had asked her to join the group he was forming and she willingly accepted. Ichiro Ito on the other hand, was a friend of Mitusuru’s who conveniently, plays the guitar, was asked to help play the guitar for the first single; the track did so well that Ito decided to stay in the group permanently. However, by the time the trio released their third single, Mitsuru had decided to leave in order to produce songs for other artists under avex, and, as such, ELT became a duo, as originally planned.

Since Mitsuru’s departure from the group, ELT continued to release content as a duo and continued to succeed on the charts.
