僕のラブレター読んだのなら
返事ぐらいくれてもいいのに
なにげなく歩道を歩けば
壁の破れた映画のポスター
君を誘って断られたっけ woo
あのときめき 忘れられそうにない
暮れゆく街に切なさがつのれば
I love you so
ちょっぴりうぬぼれてた僕も ついにフラれた
いい事ばっかある訳ないよ それでこそ my life
二年前の失恋では
"二度と恋などしたくない"って言ってたのに
こんなありさまさ woo
訳もなく人恋しい夜は
君がここにいてくれりゃ so nice
テレビゲームに胸のうちをあかせば
I miss you so
ちょっぴりうぬぼれてた僕も ついにフラれた
いい事ばっかある訳ないよ それでこそ my life
いい事ばっかある訳ないよ それでこそ my life, ooh, my life
雨に打たれ 風に吹かれ 波にのまれても
うぬぼれたり 落ち込んだり おだて上げられて
ドラマみたいな上手い話は めったにないけれど
Tu, lu, lu, lu, lu, tu, tu, lu, lu, lu, lu, tu それでも my life
In the first stanza of "In My Life," the singer expresses his disappointment that the recipient of his love letter has not bothered to give him a reply despite the seemingly low price value of the letter. As he walks on the street, he recalls how he once invited the person he loved to watch a movie but got rejected. The second stanza describes how he cannot forget the moment he met her even though it was an unexpected encounter. He also acknowledges that he was dumped due to his slight arrogance, and that life can be tough like that. In the third stanza, he remembers how he declared he would never fall in love again after a failed relationship two years ago, yet he finds himself feeling lonely again. Lastly, he admits that life is full of ups and downs, and that it is far from perfect.
The song conveys a deep sense of longing and nostalgia for a past love, encapsulating the universal human experience of heartbreak and the challenges of moving on. The mention of the value of the letter in the first stanza is particularly poignant, as it shows that sometimes the things that matter most to us hold little value to others. The song also highlights the imperfections of life and the reality that things don't always go as planned.
