Just Because
Tomii Chan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you believe
If I say I love you
Just because you've said good night
Before I cry

I saw you there
Waiting for someone
To come back and stay
To find a way back home

And then the sky has fallen on us
No way to escape from the sun
Until we die

Would you believe
If I say I will save you
Just because you've been kind to me
Before I lie

Just because you've waved goodbye
Before I go





Just because I wasn't old enough
To see you cry

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tomii Chan's song "Just Because" delve into themes of love, longing, and vulnerability through the lens of fractured relationships. The opening lines express a plea for belief in the sincerity of the singer's love. The repetition of "Just because" emphasizes the simplicity and purity of the sentiment, urging the listener to consider the weight of emotions that can be conveyed in everyday moments like saying good night. The vulnerability of the singer is evident as they admit to crying and seeking comfort in the expression of love.


The reference to seeing the person waiting for someone to return and bring them back home speaks to a sense of displacement and yearning for connection. The imagery of the sky falling on them and the inability to escape the sun conveys a feeling of being trapped in a situation where there is no respite or relief until the end. This sense of hopelessness and inevitability underscores the intensity of the emotions being experienced by the singer and the person they are addressing.


The subsequent verse shifts to a declaration of wanting to save the person, motivated by their kindness towards the singer. There is a sense of gratitude and a desire to reciprocate the goodness shown, even if it means resorting to lies or facing difficult truths. The act of waving goodbye and the acknowledgment of not being able to fully understand or console the person's pain adds layers of complexity to the relationship being portrayed.


The poignant ending of the lyrics, with the admission of not being old enough to witness the person cry, suggests a retrospective reflection on missed opportunities for connection and understanding. The regret and longing contained in these words paint a bittersweet picture of the passage of time and the inability to fully grasp the depth of emotions that shape our relationships. Overall, "Just Because" captures the intricacies of human connection and the enduring impact of shared experiences and emotions.

Would you believe
Are you willing to trust and accept what I am about to say?


If I say I love you
If I express my feelings of affection towards you


Just because you've said good night
Merely because you uttered farewell


Before I cry
Prior to my shedding of tears


I saw you there
I observed your presence


Waiting for someone
Anticipating the arrival of another person


To come back and stay
To return and remain in place


To find a way back home
To discover a path leading back to one's residence


And then the sky has fallen on us
Subsequently, the heavens have descended upon us


No way to escape from the sun
No feasible means to evade the sunlight


Until we die
Until our eventual demise


If I say I will save you
If I pledge to rescue you


Just because you've been kind to me
Purely because you have shown me kindness


Before I lie
Prior to my telling an untruth


Just because you've waved goodbye
Simply because you have gestured farewell


Before I go
Before my departure


Just because I wasn't old enough
Just because I lacked the maturity


To see you cry
To witness your tears
