Lyrics
You look at me,but I avoid your gaze
That feeling,I rarely experienced before
At this moment,I start,not knowing how to face it
Always feel a bit,like dust in the wind
Is it tonight,that we trusted ourselves too much
Our hearts came too close,but couldn't dance in sync
I hope we're more than just friends,hand in hand,heart to heart
Dancing under the lights,our feelings would be truer
You look at me,neither of us knows what to say
At this moment,I just want to sing my feelings
Because at this moment,I start,to feel something isn't right
Always feel a bit,like a belated emotion
Is it tonight,that we trusted ourselves too much
Our hearts came too close,but couldn't dance in sync
I hope we're more than just friends,hand in hand,heart to heart
Dancing under the lights,our feelings would be truer
Is it tonight,that we trusted ourselves too much
Our hearts came too close,but couldn't dance in sync
I hope we're more than just friends,hand in hand,heart to heart
Dancing under the lights,our feelings would be truer
I hope we're more than just friends,hand in hand,heart to heart
Dancing under the lights,our feelings would be truer
