01. そのままで
作詞: Rie fu
作曲: Rie fu

I could've sipped a wine 肘を頭に のせて
そうやって 毎朝過ごしてる 起きるまで yeah
流れる車やバイクの音 にのせて
のしかかるような眠気に good bye!

Although I long for the better days,
  you are the only answer for me
妄想のままでおわった想いは away away away

もう消えない ことばさえ 浮かばないほどに 夢中になる
そのままで ことばさえ 飾らないままで いてよねぇ 
I have to know you

You could've sipped a wine, and have a good time together
半分な自分に別れを away

Although I long for a better place,
  I know this is the true home for me
あぁ 全部になりたくてaway

もう消えない ことばさえ 浮かばないほどに 夢中になる
そのままで ことばさえ 飾らないままで いてよねぇ 
I have to know you
In my days...

願いたい喜びを
  世界中の歌集めて sing like this
おわらないこの想い 新しい風に吹かれて...
I have to know you
Inside your eyes...

02. 5minutes
作詞: Rie fu
作曲: Rie fu

5 minutes to wash my face and 5 minutes to wear my make up
Maybe I'll run out of time today
5 minutes to find my shoes and 5 minutes to run out the door
Maybe I'll run out of time today

* And I don't want to think cuz I want to be real,
  those things in my head are never real
I don't want to think cuz I want to be real
Tell me to wake up,to wake up,to wake up to you
It's not something you want to say,
  it's not something you want to see
It's not something you want to do
So give me some clue

5 minutes to drink the milk and 5 minutes to spit it out
maybe I'll run out of time today
5 minutes to find your number 5 minutes to make the call
maybe I'll run out of time today

* repeat

5 minutes to find my shoes and 5 minutes to run out the door
Maybe I'll run out of time today
5 minutes to my destination 5 minutes I'm on my way
Maybe I'll run out of time today

And I don't want to think cuz I want to be real,
  those things in my head are never real
I don't want to think cuz I want to be real

Tell me to wake up,to wake up,to wake up to you
It's not something you want to say,
  it's not something you want to see
Then it's got to be somewhere you want to go
Anywhere, just let me know
5 minutes

Make the call, find your number, wash the dishes
Take out the garbage, make your wishes
Wanna be real

03. Funny Dream
作詞: Rie fu
作曲: Rie fu

I had a funny dream of you and me
  we're drinkin'wine along the cote d'Azur
And every where we're waiting to see and we're walkin' in the rain
I had a funny dream of you and me we never even know each other
It's getting darker for us to see what was locked up in the chains
Very tempting matter, you give me a drop of optimism
You lit the soreness to the core
And I'm waiting for the three-three-three
Not shaking any more

I had a funny dream of you,and me
  we spend all day looking out the window
You smoke,I cough, you quit it all for me
  and we're laughing in the shade of the tree
I had a funny dream of you, and me, and realize this is all shallow
Shallow dreams, but I can be anything for you 
I wanna stay calm all the time
Very subtle matter, I say give me a drop of optimism
You take it to a brighter sky
And I'm waiting for the three-three-three
And not for any guy

Oh come on and hear me out, this is all too fast all too fast...
This is all too fast this is all too...Good!!!

I had a funny dream of you and me
  we're drinkin' wine along the cote d'Azur
And every where we're waiting to see and we're walkin' in the rain
I had a funny dream of you and me we're walkin' down the avenue
We kiss and we never believe in fortune telling ladies
Very subtle matter, I say give me a drop of optimism
You take it to a brighter sky
And I'm waiting for the three-three-three
And not for any guy
And not for any guy

04. I Wanna Go To A Place...
作詞: Rie fu
作曲: Rie fu

I wanna go to a place where I can say
That I'm all right I'm staying there with you
I wanna know if there could be anyway
That there's no fight,and I'm safe and sound with you

※And every time I look,I thought you were there,
But it was just my imagination
I don't see it anymore cause I see thru you now※

今でも気付かないでしょう この静かな空に
いつでも思い出すけど もうどこにも戻れない

そしてずっと心で 醒めてそっと気付いて
いつかきっとやさしさ 見えてくるように

What's stopping me? I get stuck again
Is it really OK? It's never OK for me
What's got into me? I get lost again
Is it really OK? It's never going to be

そしてもっと探して 目の前に気付いて
明日はきっと風向きも 変わるように
風がそっとささやく 蠢くのはこの大地
迷わないでやさしさ 見えてくるように

(※くり返し)

I wanna go to a place where I can say
That I'm all right I'm staying there with you

I wanna know if there could be anyway
That there's no fight, and I'm safe and sound with you

What's stopping me? I get stuck again

What's got into me? I get lost again
Is it really OK? It's never going to be

05. Realize
作詞: Rie fu/Susie Hug
作曲: Rie fu/Susie Hug

I was looking at the other side,
  with a bittersweet look on my face
Wondering who you'd be
Will you turn to me, and tell me a story or two?
And will I believe all these prophecies?
Will I be feeling good inside?
When I realize

I realize,I realize
You'll turn out to be
Just pure love to me
Ain't that true?

When I wasn't thinking anymore,
  moving out, moving out that door
Wondering what it's all for
When you turn to me, and you tell me a tale or two
And I'll be thinking about what's behind that veil
Will I be feeling good inside?
When I realize

I realized,I realized
You turned out to be
Just pure love to me
Ain't that true?
I realize, I realize

甘い季節
そうでもないけど止めないで
乙女心
消える前に傷ついて

I was caught unawares,
  with a bittersweet look on my face
Wondering who you'd be
Will you turn out to be

Just what I thought?
Will I be feeling good inside?
When I realize

Feeling good inside...

06. Tiny Tiny Melody
作詞: Rie fu
作曲: Rie fu

I know that everybody wants to be what they want to see
泣き止んだばかりの空 地面はまだ雨で湿ってる
I know that everybody wants to be what they want to see
悔しい思いばかり 君に会えずにいるから

もう疲れた もうダメかもしれない それでも顔を上げて
届けるのは 誰かの言葉じゃない 自分の言葉で

oh this sweetest sweetest melody
oh in this tiny tiny melody
oh this sweetest sweetest melody controls me

you gotta say it, 'till they can hear it, anytime you ought to say it

I know that everybody wants to be somebody for somebody else
理想郷はどこにある? きっとこの気持ちの底に

もう疲れた もうダメかもしれない それでも顔を上げて
今ここで 後戻りはできない 泣いても 笑っても

oh this sweetest sweetest melody
oh in this tiny tiny melody
oh this sweetest sweelest melody surrounds me

忘れたことすらかすかに見える
かすかに見えるその先は 自分で作るイメージが
 sweetest sweetest melody

oh this sweetest sweetest melody
oh in this tiny tiny melody
oh this sweetest sweetest melody

oh this sweetest sweetest melody
oh in this tiny tiny melody
oh this sweetest sweetest melody

07. Conversation
作詞: Rie fu/Susie Hug
作曲: Rie fu/Susie Hug

I take a deep breath and try to see things straight
'til I can see and wake up again
On the rooftop I see another side of me
Same old something that's changed

Yeah it's getting colder again
Yeah said something I didn't really mean it

So I tried to think of something to say,
But something always gets in the way
So tell me what you've gotta say
It's like conversation
Conversation

On a Sunday morning,I put on a pedicure
Guess it's time to move on again
Picture of a mild past,with sound that provokes fast
Same old something that's changed

Yeah it's getting colder again
Yeah said something I didn't really mean it

So I tried to think of something to say,
But something always gets in the way
So tell me what you've gotta say
It's like conversation
Conversation,conversation

I thought you'd give me a call,
You laugh and that makes me cold just a little
Into the heartless farewell
Wasting when I could just tell and be a little company

So I tried to think of something to say,
But something always gets in the way
So tell me what you've gotta say
It's like conversation
Conversation,conversation

08. They Always Talk About
作詞: Rie fu
作曲: Rie fu

言わないことのもどかしさ 言い過ぎる愚かさ
廻って巡る時の 麻酔 弱さ

遠い国のこと話して お金について話して (明日について話して)
彼はずっと昔の恋人の話をしている

※I was walking around in my footsteps,and no one's there
The sun has come up but you're lying there
You gotta swallow it up,once you see the dish of 2 sides in 1
Melting on my face,my ears,my eyes,and everything that I see
Melting on my ears,my eyes,and everything that I see※

完全なる家族の感覚 はかりにかけてみても
傾くことはなくて - 夢を見た

And they always talk about connections
And they always talk about the surface
And she always talks about her boyfriend
And he always talks about his ex-girlfriend

(※くり返し)

You could give me more information I need

Oh I'm not giving it up cuz I know
there's gotta be someone here
Walk the detours,I don't care
I talk to you,”everything
that I wanna say or do is make it real”
Just like my ears,my eyes,and everything that I see
Melting on my face,my eyes,and everything that I see

(※くり返し)

How do you find when you just don't know?
How do you search when you just don't know?
How do you love when you just don't know?

08. They Always Talk About
Lyrics: Rie fu  /  Music: Rie fu
Romaji by: cori

iwanai koto no modokashisa  iisugiru orokasa
mawatte meguru toki no  masui  yowasa

tooi kuni no koto hanashite  okane ni tsuite oshiete
kare wa zutto mukashi no koibito no hanashi wo shite iru

* (And) I was walking around in my footsteps, and no one's there
The sun has come up but you're lying there
You gotta swallow it up, once you see the dish of 2 sides in 1
Melting on my face, my ears, my eyes, and everything that I see
Melting on my ears, my eyes, and everything that I see

kanzen naru kazoku no kankaku  hakari ni kakete mitemo
katamuku koto wa nakute  -  yume wo mita

And they always talk about connections
And they always talk about the surface
And she always talks about her boyfriend
And he always talks about his ex-girlfriend

* repeat twice

You could give me more information I need (2x)

Oh I'm not giving it up cuz I know
there's gotta be someone here
Walk the detours, I don't care
I talk to you, ”everything
that I wanna say or do is make it real”
Just like my ears, my eyes, and everything that I see
Melting on my face, my eyes, and everything that I see

* repeat

I was walking around in my footsteps...
The sun has come up but you're lying there...

How do you find when you just don't know?
How do you search when you just don't know?
How do you love when you just don't know?

09. Kiss U Goodbye
作詞: Rie fu
作曲: Rie fu/Susie Hug

Kinda getting messy, killing all the time
Lying down on messy floor, killing all the time
Kinda getting steep let it go or let it sleep
Gonna take it on spray it'till it's dirty green

*1 Why don't u kiss me goodbye
Until u run and u hide
U could just get it all together
I'm gonna kiss u goodbye

*2 U wanna be the one to get off,
  when all that's left is a one-way ticket right here
U wanna be the one to get it,
  not just spread it, don't let it disappear

Know it's getting busy killing all the time
Got it from the radio, killing all the time
Recalling what he said dream of other people's lives
Underneath the head, there a hasty thief replies

*1, *2  repeat

You could just put it all together
I'm gonna kiss u goodbye
I'm gonna kiss u goodbye
Until u run and u hide
The consequence of what's committed, break it up or let it,
But u won't let it kiss u goodbye
I'm gonna kiss u goodbye
Until u draw and u tie
The consequence of what's committed, break it up or let it,
But don't let it kiss u goodbye

10. Vintage Denim
作詞: Rie fu
作曲: Rie fu

ヴィンテージのデニムをはいてカーテンをあけたらそっと
甘いリネンに抱かれカーテンを巻くような
Wrapped in curtains I still feel the morning sound
Don't miss it, don't diss it,
I'll be waiting count it or I must go crazy

* Oh silence,bring my soul up here,
  bring me up when there's nothing near
Tired of saviours that are not real
In a way that you hold,way that you hold me away

ビッグベンに明かりが見えて見上げたらそれは大きく
包み込んで この街もあたたかい
Big ben it's gotta light so tenderly
  and this city is warm as it's supposed to be
Listening to coldplay on the northern line
Don't miss it,don't diss it,
I'll be waiting count it or I must go crazy

* repeat

* Oh silence, bring my soul up here,
  bring me up when there's nothing near
Tired of saviours that are not real
In a way that you hold, way that you hold me away

BIGGUBEN ni akari ga miete miagetara sore wa ookiku

Listening to coldplay on the northern line
Don't miss it, don't diss it,
  I'll be waiting count it or I must go crazy

11. ローズ
作詞: Rie fu
作曲: Rie fu

きれいな木漏れ日 小さな光の円
囁くその光 本当は平気じゃない
そんなこと思ってないのに‥

少し少しざわめく気持ちが高鳴って先行く
その種手にとって そっと握っててよ
Cuz you're not missing from my heart

非常な足音 きこえないふりをしてる
今でも忘れない 本当はもうすぐに
記憶を消し去ってしまいたいのに

You will be you will be
First thing on my mind
You will see the first rebirth
On a Sunday, rainy market
Show the stranger the right way there
Cuz you're not missing from my heart

壊さないで Cuz you know you better get on now‥
And everybody won't take it
If you're not gonna take on now‥
Cuz you're not missing from my heart

弱くは小さく 強くは大きな音
響くはその力 残るはその後味
本当は伝えたいことがあるのに‥

少し少し 幼い気持ちが迷わずにいたいと言う
その花手にとって そっと握っててよ
Cuz you're not missing from my heart

作詞: Rie fu
作曲: Rie fu

強く歌っていて 遠くて長い道のりでも
あぁ 想像通りじゃなくて それでも とても小さな私を
君はポケットに入れた うう

So tell me,all the things you would
声に 声に 声に
So tell me,all the things you would
声に 込めて 今 想い届けるの ううう

Baby it's a long long way 愛はきっと
君に聴こえているのでしょう? To you…

So tell me,all the things you would
声に 声に 声に
So tell me,all the things you would
Come near me,
  don't confuse me, don't confuse me, don't confuse me, don't…

And the strangest feeling I get
When they start to speak in a language that I don't understand
And I tried to be honest just for you
But at that t ime
I never was

So tell me, all the things you would
声に 声に 声に
So tell me, all the things you would
声に 込めて 今 想い届けるの ううう

本当は何も知らない 自分のことさえ

13. ねがいごと
作詞: Rie fu
作曲: Rie fu

声をきくだけで距離が
縮んでゆくようだ
甘い真夏の夜が
きみの空気はこんだ
枝垂れ花火 光の跡
手に届くのは 星のかけら
ただひとつ ねがいごとは
きみと一緒に いたいだけさ

やっときみに会えた
今日はめずらしく晴れた
ずっと隙間があいてた
君にさわるまでは
どんなきみも 大好きさ
つま先で 立っていても
届く気は しないけれど
つらいことも 幸せさ
きみと一緒に いれたら

たいした歌ではないが
なにかをあげたいと思い
大きく震える手を
ぼくの脇腹にあてて
変わってゆく その腕のなかで
離さずに 癒すように
枝垂れ花火 光の跡
手に届くのは 星のかけら
言葉よりも このうたは
あたたかく 本物さ
ただひとつ ねがいごとは
きみと一緒に いたいだけさ
