UNバランス

うなじに触れた西風(あき)の切なさ
あなたの背中思わず抱いた
 
青い感じの息苦しさね
振り返らずに海を見ていて 恥ずかしい……
 
熱がある胸元よ
シャツ越しに伝わるはず
 
愛しさは淋しさの別の名前ね
「愛してる…」 それだけじゃ何か足りない
バランスが危うくて さざめく素肌 ah
唇で鎮めて あなた
 
「帰りたくない…」 風につぶやく
聴こえない振りお願いやめて
 
言葉の隅に息をひそめた
恋する気持ちおどろくぐらい 向こう見ず
 
手のひらに爪をたて
横目して瞳覗く
 
恋しさはどこかしら苦しみめいて
情熱がブレーキを外しにかかる
バランスが崩れそう 騒ぐ心は ah
自分でももう止められない
 
おとなしい子じゃいられないほど
あなたが好きよ…
 
愛しさは淋しさの別の名前ね
「愛してる…」 それだけじゃ何か足りない
バランスが危うくて さざめく素肌 ah
唇で鎮めて あなた

Unbalance

The sorrowful west wind brushed the back of my neck
I spontaneously hugged your back
 
The sadness is suffocating
I keep staring at the sea, too embarrassed to turn my head
 
My chest is getting hot
You must feel it through your shirt
 
Love is just another word for loneliness
Just the words "I love you" somehow aren't enough
I'm losing my balance, my entire body feels electrified
Calm me down with your lips
 
"I don't want to leave", I whispered in the wind
Please stop pretending that you didn't hear me
 
I hold my breath at the end of my sentence
It surprised me that falling in love has made me so reckless
 
I clench my hand so tight, I can feel my nails dig into my palm
You glance at me sideways
 
Yearning for someone is somehow agonizing
The passion in me growing so strong it's getting uncontrollable
My composure is crumbling, my heart's pounding like crazy, ah
I can't stop myself anymore
 
It has even changed me from being a meek girl
All because I love you
 
Love is just another word for loneliness
Just the words "I love you" somehow aren't enough
I'm losing my balance, my entire body feels electrified
Calm me down with your lips

* Kawai Naoko is sooo good. Just listening to her singing "ru ru ru ru ru ♪" in the intro is already goosebumps-inducing. I can't have enough of her so I'll add one more of her extra song later.
