School idol festival 2 MIRACLE LIVE! description

EnglishJapanese

The B-side of μ's second single with lyrics expressing the ambivalence of wondering whether one should push the love button to take their relationship with a friend to the next level. First, the singer narrates her plight before pushing the button before recounting the results, only to wonder at the end if her partner also pushed the love button.

μ's 2ndシングルカップリング曲。友達のままか、恋人か、その切り替えをする恋のボタンを押すのか悩む歌詞が甘酸っぱい。1番では押す前、2番では押した後が歌われ、最後に相手が恋のボタンを押したのかどうかにも注目。

Lyrics

KanjiRomajiEnglish

やさしい言葉だけじゃ 足りなくなってくる
吐息ゆれる 触れてみたいんだ近くで

こんなに近づくのは 偶然じゃないのに
知らないふりして笑ってみせるのは罪だね

並んで歩いてるとき ふと会話とぎれて
恋へのボタンがほしい(押してぽちり)はじめよう

最初はもうちょっとよりそって
出会ったシアワセかみしめて
ずっと(baby)ずっと(maybe)
ときめきを忘れないよ
だいじょうぶいつだって
出会いはあしたを招いてる
伝わればいいな(伝えたいだから)
ふと立ちどまり見つめあった…

きもちが風になって 耳をくすぐったら
あついあまい想い 聞こえるはずなんだ

想像してみたけど まるでわからないよ
知ってるつもりで実際キミがわからないよ

ひみつが自分勝手に ふくらむもどかしさ
恋へのボタンはひとつ(押したとたん)はじまった

いきなり冗談であしらって
ごまかすその目が迷ってる
だって(sorry)だって(worry)
辛くなりたくないんだね
だいじょうぶ目の前で
約束するから好きだから
これくらい強く(言いたいよ今は)
言えないままに見つめあった…

最初はもうちょっとよりそって
出会ったシアワセかみしめて
ずっと(baby)ずっと(maybe)
ときめきを忘れないよ
だいじょうぶいつだって
出会いはあしたを招いてる
伝わればいいな(伝えたいだから)
ふと立ちどまり見つめあった…ボタン押した?

Simply kind words aren’t enough anymore
Trembling I sigh, You’re so close I want to try touching you

Getting this close was not by chance and yet
Feigning ignorance and showing off a smile is a crime

As we walk side by side, pausing our conversation
I want a button for love (Clicking and ordering) Let’s start

At the beginning we got a little closer
I reflect on the happiness that came from meeting
Forever (baby) Forever (maybe)
I won’t forget how my heart pounded
It’s always okay
Our meeting invites tomorrow
It would be great if I could tell you (Because I want to tell you)
We stopped suddenly and gazed at one another...

If these feelings catch a ride on the wind and tickle your ears
You should be able to hear my warm and sweet thoughts

I tried imagining it but I don’t understand at all
I planned to know but I don’t understand the real you

This secret is a frustration, expanding selfishly on its own
There’s a single button for love (As soon as it was clicked) Things started

Suddenly handling it with a joke
Your evasive eyes are lost
But (sorry) But (worry)
I don’t want it to be painful
It’s okay in front of your eyes
Because I’ll promise, Because I love you
Feeling this strongly (I want to say it right now)
Still unable to say it we gazed at one another...

At the beginning we got a little closer
I reflect on the happiness that came from meeting
Forever (baby) Forever (maybe)
I won’t forget how my heart pounded
It’s always okay
Our meeting invites tomorrow
It would be great if I could tell you (Because I want to tell you)
We stopped suddenly and gazed at one another... Did I click the button?
