時に愛は
松本伊代 Lyrics

The lyrics to 松本伊代's song 時に愛は (Sometimes Love Plays Hide and Seek with the Heart) convey a sense of longing, vulnerability, and uncertainty that often accompany the experience of falling in love. The singer apologizes for her constant attempts to act tough, while admitting that she cannot find the right words to express her feelings. She talks about the magic of a light touch on her shoulder, a gesture that can dispel the coldness of her heart, and wishes she could be held close and say "I love you" in a nonchalant way. She dreams of becoming a shining girl who can look up at the sky like a little bird and be with the one she loves.

The second verse speaks of the loneliness that comes with waiting for a love story to start and the tears shed in the middle of the night while longing for the person who can give comfort. The singer recognizes that love can also cause anxiety and insecurity, but she pleads with her lover to protect her and allow her to catch up with him eventually. She wants to convey her feelings with a smile and be able to draw a little closer to him every day.

Overall, the song reflects the delicate balance between the excitement and uncertainty of falling in love, the desire to be vulnerable and authentic, and the fear of rejection and loss. It expresses a yearning for closeness and the hope that love can bring light to the darkness of life.
