Hamasaki Ayumi: Moments

Artist: Hamasaki Ayumi
Title: Moments
Words: Hamasaki Ayumi
Music: Yukumi Tetsuya

my heart burns,
I smell it burning.
that was the end of my dream
it was the start of everything

I considered that which I yearned for beautiful,
being unattainable makes it even more glorious

the fragments of your burst dream
stab my breast
I mustn't forget,
I'll record it as pain.

if I'm as fleeting as a flower
I want to blossom fully before you
and once I've made sure you're smiling
I will softly scatter myself

you are made to stand
at the edge called desperation
I wonder what it was
you saw from there?

wandering with no where to go,
afraid to touch a heart laid bare
fenced in by sharp barbs.

if I could fly like a bird
I'd fly to you.
and offer my wings
to your wounded back.

if I could flow like the wind,
I would arrive at your side
if I could glow like the moon
I would keep shining upon you

if it'll make it
so you need never see
anything scary ever again
I'll be anything.
