竹内アンナ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
いつもより look so cute
It's true 街中 my parade
世界もきらめく 高解像度よ おかげで
割り切れないこと たくさんあるの my boy
不器用同士の大発見ね
2人なら百点満点なんて余裕 so good
だってあれこれ ×あったって ○を書き足したら
Kiss and hug for you めくるめく two
腕の中 迎える希望満ちた morning
甘い声でささやいて darling
好きになればなるほど怖い?
だっていつかいつか訪れる ending
まあいっか そんなもんか 思わせてくれるたびに
不安以上の喜びを見つけ出せるの
掛けてみたって 外してばかり my boy
間違いも正解な 七不思議
You + me =
毎日が birthday party みたいに映る カラフル
だってあれこれ 欠点引いたって むしろ越えてくるの
Up and down for you, no clue
どんな formulaでさえも can't explain 解けない魔法ね
同じ痛みならば あなたと一緒がいいな
You + me =
2人なら百点満点なんて余裕 so good
だってあれこれ ×あったって ○を書き足したら
Kiss and hug for you めくるめく two

The line "不器用同士の大発見ね" (It's a great discovery for two clumsy people) suggests that both the singer and their love interest are somewhat clumsy or awkward in their own ways, but they have found something special in each other despite their flaws.
The chorus, "You + me = 2人なら百点満点なんて余裕 so good" (You + me = If it's the two of us, we're perfect, it's so good), emphasizes the idea that when they are together, they feel complete and confident. They believe that their relationship is flawless and full of happiness.
"Kiss and hug for you めくるめく two" (Kiss and hug for you, it's dazzlingly intense) expresses the excitement and intensity of physical affection between the two individuals. It conveys the idea that their love is passionate and intoxicating.
The line "好きになればなるほど怖い? だっていつかいつか訪れる ending" (The more I fall in love, the scarier it becomes? Because eventually, an ending will come someday) acknowledges the fear that comes with being deeply in love. The singer questions whether their increasing attachment and vulnerability will eventually lead to a painful ending.
