BABY BABY
Going Steady Lyrics

The lyrics to Going Steady's song "Baby Baby" convey the sentiments of an intense longing for a loved one. The opening lines talk of a street full of illumination, but the person that the singer is thinking of is just an illusion - an angelic smile that he can't forget. The chest tightens with the memory, and the feeling is that holding to the memory is stopping it from disappearing completely. The singer talks of sweet shoe cream, which is a sort of pun, as the person he refers to is a Supreme (shu-puriima in Japanese). The moon swing sways in space, and in a dream, the singer and his love hold hands and fly. But when the singer wakes up, he cries because he can't believe the memory was just a dream.

The refrain of the song, "Baby baby," echoes the singer's longing and desire to hold his lover forever. He wonders if he can live forever, loving this person forever, and holding onto their fragile happiness like it will crumble to dust. The repetition of "Baby baby" creates a sense of urgency, as if the seconds are ticking down to losing that someone special. But no matter how time passes, in the end, it's that irreplaceable precious love that keeps the heart beating.
