Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
左端の教室
カーテン膨らむ度に
窓際の席
あなたが見える
授業中でも
気になってしまう
立てた教科書
先生の視線 盗んでチラリ
遠く切ない
ワン! ツー! スリー!
チャイムは LOVE SONG
愛しきメロディー
流れた瞬間に
キュンとする
あなたが無意識に
窓の外 見た時
目と目が合うの
5秒のデート中
中庭挟んだ距離は
風で声が届かない
あなたは気づかなくても
ここから いつも
私は見てる
休み時間に
窓に連なって
騒いでいるわ
男の子たち
あなたはいない
どこにいるのかな
春の秘密に
右手翳した
ワン! ツー! スリー!
チャイムが鳴り始め
席へと戻るよ
恋するシルエット
はっとする
あなたは前向いて
知らん振りしている
陽射しのような
5秒の片思い
チャイムは LOVE SONG
愛しきメロディー
流れた瞬間に
キュンとする
あなたが無意識に
窓の外 見た時
目と目が合うの
5秒のデート中
These lyrics are a love letter to a crush, whom the singer sees every day across the courtyard in the building opposite their own. They describe how the singer's heart races every time they catch a glimpse of their crush, whether during class or on break. The song describes how the distance between them feels insurmountable, and how the only moments they share are brief glances during the chiming of the bells. The chiming of the school bells, in fact, become a symbol of the singer's feelings, as each time the bells ring, they evoke a bittersweet mix of anticipation and sadness.
Despite the sparsity of their interactions, the singer can't help but feel drawn to their crush. They describe how their crush's looks and demeanor are simply "too cool" to ignore, and how they will even sneak glances at their crush when the teacher isn't watching. Through the lyrics of the song, the singer expresses a quiet longing for their crush, who remains oblivious to their feelings.
