Only sixteen 今夜Only sixteen jīn yè

矛盾だらけの自由に追われながら走り出す

何にも縛られたくないって叫びながら

絆求めてるhey

守られるだけじゃなく誰かを守りたい

Give me a reason to show you

訳(りゆう)も無く微笑む度に

(Won't you) tell me why I should try to

明日を見つめようとしないで

Give me a reason to love you

すべての法則うらぎってみせる

たとえそれが運命でも

一人だけの誓い ギュッとささやいて眠る

もう少しだけ素直でもいい

やっと見つけた答えは姿を変え

わたしを惑わすhey

くやしいほど遠くから からかわれてるみたい

Give me a reason to show you

いつか君に追いつきたい

(Won't you) tell me why I should try to

近づく程に遠くなるみたいだ

Give me a reason to love you

今は一人にしないで

If I had you

この夜もコワクないのに

Give me a reason to show you

振り返りながら来た道

(Won't you) tell me why I should try to

もう立ち止まることをおそれないよ

Give me a reason to love you

ほんとはワケなんていらない

子供みたいに声をあげて走ろう
