misono Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

キレイ好きの君は
すぐに散らかす僕を叱って
几帳面な僕は
すぐに物を失くす君を叱る
二人はバラバラ
時々イライラだけど
ロック好きな君の
お気に入りを僕が聴いて

映画好きな僕の
お気に入りを君が見るのさ
二人は知りたい
いつでも相手のことを
ギザギザの心臓(ココロ)
ふたつ吸い付くように合わさって
キレイなハート型になった
一人きりでやるには限界があるんだ
君が必要さ僕が必要さ
早起きの君は
朝が苦手な僕を起こす
せっかちな僕は
のんびり歩く君に合わせる
二人は気にする
いつでも相手のことを
この二人の幸せが
君の僕の幸せだもん
帰る場所は決まってココさ
わかりあえない夜は別々の枕で
君のこと想う僕のこと想う

これからも散らかした部屋を
二人で片付けて
失くした物を二人で捜すんだ
君は君だし僕は僕だけど
わかり合えた夜は
君にもう一度恋した気分
やっぱ君だってやっぱ僕だって
ギザギザの心臓(ココロ)
ふたつ吸い付くように合わさって
キレイなハート型になった
一人きりでは世界は狭いままだから
君のおかげさ僕のおかげさ
これはほんの始まりなんだ

もっと自由にギザギザLIFE
広がってゆく

Overall Meaning

These lyrics tell the story of a couple who have contrasting personalities but are deeply in love with each other. The singer describes how the neat and tidy partner scolds the messy one, while the organized partner gets frustrated when the other loses things. Despite their differences, they still appreciate each other's unique qualities. The rock-loving partner listens to the other's favorite music, while the movie enthusiast partner watches the other's favorite films. They both want to know everything about each other and their hearts become intertwined, forming a beautiful heart shape. The singer acknowledges that they have their limits when they are alone, and they need each other. The early riser wakes up the person who struggles in the mornings, and the impatient partner learns to walk at a leisurely pace to match the other. They care about each other's well-being and understand that their happiness lies in the happiness of their partner. The song ends with the sentiment that this is just the beginning and their unique and imperfect life will continue to expand and grow.
