Boy Meets Girl それぞれの あふれる想いに きらめきと 瞬間を見つけてる 星降る夜の 出会いがあるよに…
Boy Meets Girl あの頃は いくつものドアを ノックした あざやかに描かれた 虹のドアを きっと見つけだしたくて…
夜明けまで歌ってた あなたが得意な SWEET LOVE SONG やけに思い出しちゃって スーツケースに入れとこう 旅立ちを決めたのは 勢いだけじゃないから あなたと過ごした日は 20世紀で最高の出来事！
Boy Meets Girl 出会いこそ 人生の宝探しだね 少年はいつの日か 少女の夢 必ず見つめる
Boy Meets Girl 輝いた リズムたちが踊り出してる 朝も昼も夜も風が南へと 心をときめかせている
OMG..AM I JUST INSANE OR WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME!? READ THE LYRICS AND THOUGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN TAKING ABOUT THE NIGHT WE MET PERHAPS??? I KNEW THERE WAS AN inexplainably intense atmosphere that lasted literary ALL NIGHT LONG... And yes,I sung a song in front of you. Then packed my stuff and flew away. But that was almost next to 勢いだけ。 あの頃は先が見えなくて、そのときに小室さんと会って、”日本も悪くない！”と思った。 今頃昔の歌詞を読んで、OMG...
