WHATEVER

Lyrics: ayumi hamasaki
Composition: Kazuhito Kikuchi

It was so long. I felt like I was close to freezing, and closed my eyes

Wow wow wow... Wow wow wow...
Wow wow wow... Wow wow wow...

No matter how much this love grows
and no matter what form I write these words
surely no one knows
if these feelings will reach you

But please tell that person
"There's an unwavering power to believe right here"

It was so long. I felt like I was close to freezing, and closed my eyes
The season I looked forward to comes around without anyone noticing

Wow wow wow... Wow wow wow...
Wow wow wow... Wow wow wow...

I'll do what I should do here and now
and, when I'm calm, I can just smile

Please tell that person
"Whether near or far, I'll always be next to you"

It was so long, but I'm almost able to bathe in the warm sunlight
The truth is I was enduring it so much so I wouldn't lose to myself
It was so long, but I'm almost able to bathe in the warm sunlight
If I said the time we spend apart doesn't make me lonely, it'd be a lie

It was so long, right? But just a little longer, right? I want to bathe in the warm sunlight
The truth is I was enduring it so much so I wouldn't lose to myself
It was so long, right? But just a little longer, right? I want to bathe in the warm sunlight
Because I think I'm not the only one who wished for us to be together

Wow wow wow... Wow wow wow...
Wow wow wow... Wow wow wow...
Wow wow wow... Wow wow wow...
Wow wow wow... Wow wow wow...

WHATEVER
