Word Rhythm

Lyrics & Composition: Sukima Switch

We use so many words
I wonder if someone made them long ago
We've learnt words without realizing it
And, before we knew it, are talking so much

Laughing out loud, frustrated and angry
Sometimes making you cry and hurting you

Can you say sorry properly and quickly?
It's a bit hard when doing it face-to-face
Even though you thought it, it takes courage after all, yeah?
It's the same for adults and children
It'd be cool if you could do it well when it comes to the crunch
Saying it out loud will make you feel refreshed
Let's be honest, let's smile

We can understand each other without saying anything
But we can't understand unless we put it into words

Getting thrilled, getting excited
At times mentally exhausted or getting happy

Can you say thank you properly and at once?
It's a bit embarrassing when doing it face-to-face
Even though you thought it, you feel shy after all, yeah?
It's the same for adults and children
Kind people are really cool
You're spot on for putting it into words
Let's be cool

Feelings are always invisible to us
so let's exchange words and enliven things

In the gaps between hearts
there's a switch that connects us
Place your feelings on the catch-ball of words
It's the same for adults and children
Those who can speak clearly are wonderful
We really should put what's important
into words
Word rhythm

Kotoba Rhythm

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: Sukima Switch

Bokura ga tsukatteru takusan no kotoba
Tooi mukashi dareka ga tsukatta no kana
Shiranai uchi ni oboeta kotoba
Itsu no ma ni ka konna nimo shabetteru'n da yo

Kerakera warattari iraira okottari
Toki ni nakasetari kizutsukechattari

Gomen ne tte chanto shutto ieru kana?
Men to mukau to chotto muzukashii
Omottetatte yappari yuuki ga iru ne
Otona mo kodomo mo onnaji da yo
Kimeru toko kimetara kakkoii
Kotoba ni dashite sukkiri
Sunao ni narou egao ni narou

Nanimo iwanakutemo wakariaeru koto
Demo kotoba ni shinai to wakannai koto

Wakuwaku sasetari dokidoki shitari
Toki niwa hokkori ureshikunattari

Arigatou tte chanto patto ieru kana?
Men to mukau to chotto terekusai
Omottetatte yappari hanikanjau yo ne
Otona mo kodomo mo onnaji da yo
Yasashii hito tte honto kakkoii
Kotoba ni dashite bacchiri
Suteki ni narou

Kimochi wa itsudatte me ni mienai kara
Kotoba wo kawashite hana wo sakaseyou

Kokoro to kokoro no sukima niwa
Bokutachi wo tsunagu suicchi ga aru
Kotoba no kyacchi booru ni omoi wo nosete
Otona mo kodomo mo onnaji da yo
Kichinto ieru hito tte subarashii
Daiji na koto wa yappari
Kotoba ni shite
Kotoba rizumu
