I'm in love
Shota Shimizu Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

これから言うことは全部
本当のことだけど
そんな真面目に聞かないで
大した話じゃないから

友達が連れてきた
君は少し気まずそうに
俺の斜め前座って

最初すぐ目が合ったよね

その時は気付かない
好きになるなんて

I'm in love with you
ずっと探していたよ
夢中になれる恋を

I'm in love with you (love with you)
君しかいないすべてを捨てても
側にいさせて

少し冗談交じりに
君のこと誘うけど baby
嘘じゃないよ好きになった
俺なんかには似合わないかな

0時をすぎた街
触れそうで触れない距離で
何も話さなくたって
同じもの見つめている

それだけでいいなんて
思えたことないよ

I'm in love with you
ずっと探していたよ
でも見つけられずいた

I'm in love with you, oh-oh (love with you)
君しかいないって信じてるのさ
側にいさせて

何か1つだけ
誇れるものがあるとすれば
君を誰よりも愛せるということ
Woo baby (baby) 今は俺を見つめて

I'm in love with you
ずっと探していたよ
夢中になれる恋を

I'm in love with you (love with you)

君しかいないすべてを捨てても
側にいさせて

Overall Meaning

The song "I'm in love" by Shota Shimizu tells a story of a guy who falls in love at first sight with a girl he meets through a friend. In the opening lines, he admits that what he is about to say is true, but doesn't want to be taken too seriously because it's not a big deal. He then goes on to talk about how the girl came into his life and how he fell for her without even realizing it. The first time he saw her, they made eye contact, but he didn't think anything of it until later.

When they are alone together in the city late at night, he realizes that he is in love with her and has been searching a long time for someone he can feel this way about. He asks to be with her, to be allowed to love her, even though it might not seem like he deserves her. The song ends with him declaring that if there's only one thing he can be proud of, it's that he loves her more than anyone else.

Overall, "I'm in love" is a heartfelt confession of love, accompanied by a mid-tempo beat and a simple, yet catchy melody. The lyrics are straightforward and easy to understand, but they also convey the sincere emotions of the singer.
