Wow wow wow
Wow wow wow

きっと きっと 誰もが
何か足りないものを
無理に期待しすぎて
人を傷つけている

Wow wow wow
Wow wow wow

会えばケンカしてたね
長く居すぎたのかな
意地を張れば なおさら
隙間 広がるばかり

Kissをしたり
抱き合ったり
多分それでよかった
あたりまえの
愛し方も
ずっと忘れていたね

信じ合える喜びも
傷つけ合う悲しみも
いつかありのままに
愛せるように
Time goes by...

都合 悪い時には
いつも言い訳してた
そうね そんなところは
二人よく似ていたね

安らぎとか
真実とか
いつも求めてたけど
言葉のように
簡単には
うまく伝えられずに

もう一度思いだして
あんなにも愛したこと
"アリガトウ"が言える
時がくるまで
Say good bye...

残された傷あとが
消えた瞬間
本当の優しさの
意味がわかるよ きっと

過ぎた日に背をむけずに

ゆっくり時間を感じて
いつかまた笑って
会えるといいね
Time goes by...

Wow wow wow
Wow wow wow

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.
