瞳に天気雨
泣き真似で困らせたの
こんなに好きなのに
ズルい
はっきりさせて My Boy

ビッグコーン
溶けだす前に

ガンバって｢キミが好き｣と
言葉にして

カフェテラス
濡れた Bikeも
国道で乾く頃よ

Ah きっと今日は
バックシート
乗りたいのよ夏へ

土曜の天気雨
日曜がこれで決まる
声かけたのあなた
先よ
責任とって My Boy

こないだよりか
陽に焼けたのね
ツーリング行ってたのね?
楽しそうね

うつむいて
睫押えた
爪噛んでスネてみせる

Ah その背中に
しがみついて
走りたいの海へ

瞳に天気雨
泣き真似で困らせたの
ゴメンねウソだよと

言えば
｢好きなんだ｣と My Boy

Overall Meaning

The song "瞳に天気雨" by 島田奈美 tells a story of unrequited love between two people. The singer reveals that despite being in love with the person, she has been pretending to cry to make them worry and fuss over her, feeling guilty for liking someone who doesn't reciprocate her feelings. She asks her "boy" to be clear about his feelings and to tell her that he loves her before the Big Cone ice cream melts. She wants to confess her feelings and go on a summer trip with him, as she imagines sitting on the back seat of his bike and driving towards the sea.

In the second verse, she expresses her jealousy towards the person, as she found out that he had gone on a motorcycle trip with someone else and had gotten sunburned. However, she is also happy that he had a good time. She then reveals that she feels hurt and sulks, biting her nails and looking downwards, but she ultimately wants to run towards the sea with him. In the last part of the song, the singer apologizes for pretending to cry, and admits that it was a lie. She tells him that she loves him and wants him to take responsibility for reciprocating her feelings.

Overall, the song captures the complex emotions of a person who is in love but feels conflicted and unsure about expressing their emotions to the other person. It portrays the struggles of dealing with unrequited love, while also highlighting the beauty and excitement of going on a summer adventure with someone you care about.
