Memai / Vertigo
Koko de Kiss Shite. single

atashi ga konna merodi o kuchizusamu no wa sate doushite deshou?
nee, jikkuri kangaetemite
atashi ga konna kotoba o kuchibashiru no wa sate doushite deshou?
nee, choppiri kangaetemite

dokomade  ochiteitchau no
kono karada wa
haiiro ni tookunaru tookunaru sora

sono hi wa tashika ni jimen ga oto mo tatezu
atashi no ayumi o samatage yureteita

atashi ga konna namida o nagashiteiru no wa sate doushite deshou?
nee, sappari kangaetemite

dokomade  ochiteitchau no
kono karada wa
haiiro ni tookunaru tookunaru sora

sono hi wa tashika ni jimen ga yousha sura sezu
kuruma no bousou o ukiire sawaideita

sono hi wa tashika ni jimen ga oto mo tatezu
atashi no ayumi o samatage yureteita
Now why is it that I hum these kinds of melodies? What do you think?

Think about it carefully, okay
Now why is it that I blurt out these kinds of words? What do you think?

Think about it a teeny bit, okay

Just how far will it go on falling
This body of mine
It grows greyer the further it gets from the sky

I’m sure that day the ground didn’t make a sound
as it swayed, hindering my steps

Now why is it that I’m crying these kinds of tears? What do you think?

Think about it openheartedly, okay

Just how far will it go on falling
This body of mine
It grows greyer the further it gets from the sky

I’m sure that day the ground didn’t show mercy
as it made a commotion, taking in the reckless cars

I’m sure that day the ground didn’t make a sound
as it swayed, hindering my steps
