01. Oh we Oh
作詞: SAKURA
作曲: 朝本浩文

* もっと刺激的なムード
加速する魂のスピード
oh we oh, oh we oh おいかけて
もっとふみこんでみたいよ
ふりかえりたくないよ
oh we oh, oh we oh 追い越してゆけ

痛みをともなうような 深い悲しみのなか
涙さえ枯れるくらいに 泣きはらした

そこから生まれるもの はじめてみつかるもの
自分の小ささを抱きしめてゆくのよ

ここじゃまだまだ あきらめるとこじゃない
暗闇の中もがいて泳ぎきれ

* repeat

傷つくのがこわくて いつだって目を背け
かりそめの強さで自分の身を飾って

だれかのためじゃなくて 本当の私はだれ
答えを外に求めては疲れ果て

ここじゃまだまだ あきらめるとこじゃない
まだまだやれる 幸せになるため

もっと刺激的なムード
加速する魂のスピード
oh we oh, oh we oh おいかけて
もっとふみこんでみたいよ
ふりかえりたくないよ
oh we oh, oh we oh 追い越して

* repeat

さあ手を挙げて 空を仰いで
oh we oh, oh we oh!
yeah that's what I'm sayin'
さあ手を挙げて 誰かの手をつかんで
oh we oh, oh we oh!
yeah we all gonna live it up

* repeat

03. smile for me
作詞: SAKURA
作曲: SAKURA

ふとした瞬間 不安になるよ
あなたのために何かできるのか

こうして側にいること
 それしかできなくても
祈りは宇宙を越え 届くと

いつかは誰もが思い出してゆく
この世に生まれた意味 魂の願い
花と木,海,風に惑星で
こうして出逢えたの
だからsmile 4 meおもいだして

ぬぐいされないよ自分のしたこと
それでも精一杯 今日を生きて

あいまいなままの過去に おびえてたそれさえも
あなたという人を 愛してる

* いつかは誰もが忘れ去ってしまう
この世で出逢えた意味 魂の祈り
花と木,海,風に抱かれた惑星で
さまよう日があっても
I'm gonna smile 4 u忘れないよ

君がどんなにつめたい言葉で私を
 傷つけたとしても
君のおくにある光 信じているから
 だから I won't let go

いつかは誰もが思い出してゆく
この世に生まれた意味 魂の願い
花と木,海,風に抱かれた惑星で
こうして出逢えたのsmile 4 me

* repeat

作詞: SAKURA
作曲: SAKURA

触れたいのにつかめない あなたの気持ちが
本の小さなすれ違うも 優しくなれない

電話の向こうの ため息が悲しい

* どんなに遠くて どんなに儚くて
 答えがなくたっていいから
ずっとそばにいて あきらめないでいて
 つないだ手をはなさないでいてね
わかり合えなくて 明日が見えなくて
 どんな二人だっていいから
ずっとそばにいて あきらめないでいて
 つないだ手をはなさないでいてね

こんな時はいつでも会いにきてくれるのに
今日はなぜか 愛は遥か彼方に感じる

ごめんねの言葉うまくいえなくて ho no

* repeat

Talk it out baby, just you and me you and me yeah

07. again
作詞: 
作曲: 

i heard from a friend today,
and she said you were in town
suddenly the memories came back to me in my mind

CHORUS:
how can i be strong i've asked myself
time and time i've said
that i'll never fall in love with you again

a wounded heart you gave,
my soul you took away
good intentions you had many,
i know you did
i come from a place that hurts,
god knows how I've cried
and i never want to return never fall again

making love to you felt so good and oh so right

Repeat CHORUS

so here we are alone again,
didn't think I'd come to this
and to know it all began
with just a little kiss
i've come too close to happiness,
to have it swept away
don't think I can take the pain
no never fall again

kinda late in the game
and my heart is in your hands
don't you stand there and then tell me
you love me then leave again
'cause i'm falling in love with you again

hold me, hold me
don't ever let me go
say it just one time
say you love me
god knows i do love you again

もっと二人を疑えばよかったの
信じてた二人を失うなんて

* Oh I,あたらしい君のgirlfriend
彼女は私のbest friend
どうして どうして二人してI cry
私を笑ってたの?
彼女のことをかばうの?
you killed me, you killed me so suddenly

恋から愛へと変わるはずだった
いくつもの季節を過ごすはずだったoh no
私が何をあなたにしたというのbaby, yeah
それとも何が足りなかったの
傷だらけのハートにとり換えはきかないのに
