I want to protect you, but I might lose to the cyborg just a little, because at a crucial moment I decide to open up my heart to you. Even if we become stars together, you won’t regret it, right? We tore off, making such a forceful start! “You’re too much!” you said and laughed! Since the two of us got together, we’ve stumbled a bit but we kept on running While turning the pages of a phone book, I call people I don’t know I want to tell them everything first off If I look at your face when you’re happy, simply doing so always fills me with such conviction What a crazy skirt you came in! “You’re too much!” I said and laughed! Just like any other pair of lovers, we’ve lost our sanity a bit La la – just how much our meeting each other was a fluke chance kind of moves me deeply It’s a love story of walking through fallen leaves more wonderful than any book I want to be with you more, holding hands along the road at twilight However much we’re together, it’s not enough: the words, the time, the kisses I want to feel more of this. You hold out your hand, and the cosmos opens up These unwavering feelings will surely... We tore off, making such a forceful start! You laughed as I looked at you sideways! The mysteries of this spinning world make up the aura surrounding you and I La la la – let’s sing a song of love, let’s sing holding hands, a song of love Since the two of us got together, we’ve stumbled a bit but we kept on running |
Notes: Just in case you didn't pick up on it, this song is from the point of view of a guy, and the image of a 'forceful start' is most likely him and his girlfriend tearing off on a motorcycle for a joyride. The last part of the song really doesn't seem very masculine, but... *laughs*
Song info: The title of this album, "Shounen Alice," is also the title of a book first published in the early 1980s. Yoko Kanno once said that Maaya reminds her of the protagonist, a boy named "Alice." From this, we can infer that this song is about or at least inspired by the boy-Alice in that book.
Maaya's liner notes: All right! Today, the world starts to shine! With the aura of you and me! (Translated by Miyuki)
