ナツノヒカリ
GRAPEVINE Lyrics

The lyrics to GRAPEVINE's song ナツノヒカリ (Summer Light) paint a nostalgic picture of a past summer romance. The singer reminisces about a time when they made up with their partner on a hillside. They wonder if the words they almost said back then were just a dream. The vivid imagery of the endless blue road, being swept away by the summer light in their mind, emphasizes the intensity of their feelings at the time. Despite the passage of time, the singer regrets not having hugged their partner yet and not being able to express their love. They recall a particular day when they were in a slightly intoxicated state, enjoying the season with sweat-soaked shirts, and planning to play together endlessly. The singer laments not being able to touch their partner's hair and feeling that they didn't need anything else in that moment. They mention sunflowers being torn away on the hillside and wonder what their partner said at the time. The repetition of not having hugged their partner, not being able to touch their hair, and not being able to say "I love you" reflects their regret and longing. The song ends with the wistful realization that the endless feeling they once had is unfair.
