Waltz
Honey and Clover Complete Best Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darlin'
Would you dance with me
Beneath the lights
High in the trees
Cause I've got this feeling
Wanna give you a try
With the waltz of St. Even
Playing in my mind

This feeling
This deficit of mine
Could just leave you wanting
Don't wanna waste your time
When darkness come callin'
These shadows of mine
Would you let me hold you
Or just say, "good night."

This feeling
Has got a hold of me
It fills up my lungs
Till I just can't breahe
There's a voice that come callin'
Yeah, callin' out to me
Says, "Girl, I done told you
Girl, let it be."

But Darlin'
Would you dance with me
Beneath the lights
High in the trees
Cause I've got this feeling
Wanna give you a try

With the waltz of St. Even
Playing in my mind

Overall Meaning

The song "Waltz in 2-3" from the anime Honey and Clover's Complete Best is a beautiful love song that encapsulates the feelings of being in love and having reservations about expressing those emotions. The song's first words, "Darlin', Would you dance with me, Beneath the lights, High in the trees," sets the stage for an intimate moment that the singer desires with their love interest.

The singer then talks about their reservations and their fears of letting the person they love see their dark personas. They question whether the person they love would stay with them or leave them because of it. However, the singer's emotions are overwhelming, and they long to express their feelings, "This feeling, This deficit of mine could just leave you wanting, Don't wanna waste your time, When darkness come callin', These shadows of mine, Would you let me hold you or just say, 'good night.'"

Even though the person the singer wants to dance with asks them to let it be, the singer still desires to experience love with them. In the second verse, the singer confesses that their emotions are getting the better of them, and they can hardly breathe. Despite the voice telling them to let it be, the singer still wants to try and express their love, and thus they ask the person if they would dance, "But Darlin', Would you dance with me, Beneath the lights, High in the trees, Cause I've got this feeling, Wanna give you a try, With the waltz of St. Even, Playing in my mind."

Overall, "Waltz in 2-3" is a love song that captures the emotions and struggles of expressing love, the fear of rejection, and the overwhelming rush of emotions that can come with being in love.
