day after tomorrow Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

今まで見えなかったそう
恋する気持ちを感じているから
胸の奥のメロディねぇ
心に響いて風に乗り聴こえる
それまで何げなく過ごしてたけど
突然特別な存在に変わって
世界中の人すべてが背を向けても
見つめているよ想っているよ

私はあなただけ

窓から見る景色はそう
いつもと変わらず流れる薄い雲
隣にいるだけでリズムが弾む
二人だけの時間を心に刻み込む
この恋はきっとあなたが運んできた
だから見えない
運命さえも変えてみせる
少しでも聴こえるように届くように
このままずっと
あなたと同じメロディを奏でたい
あなたのメロディが私のメロディで
今輝けるように

この恋はきっとあなたが運んできた
だから見えない運命さえも
変えてみせる
少しでも聴こえるように届くように
このままずっとあなたと同じ
メロディを奏でたい

あなたのメロディで
あなただけの為歌い続けていたい

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are describing the feeling of falling in love and the excitement and joy that comes with it. The singer is saying that she suddenly realizes that she has been feeling this way for a while, even though she didn't notice it before. The melody that she has been feeling inside her chest is now strong enough to be heard on the wind. She used to just go about her day without much thought, but now she has a special someone who she thinks about all the time, even if no one else is paying attention.

The imagery in the lyrics is of a simple moment with someone special, just watching the clouds go by out a window. Even though it's an everyday sight, the presence of the person next to her fills her with joy and makes her heart beat faster. This love feels destined to the singer, brought into her life by the person she's fallen for. She believes that their love is strong enough to overcome anything, even fate itself. The final lines are a declaration that she wants to keep singing this love song for this one person only, and that his melody has become her own, making her shine brighter than ever before.
