Why this song? ▼

I first listened to this song back in high school and loved it immediately as a lonely love-stricken-but-never-been-loved teen. Don't really remember how I came across it, but it's one of their songs that just made a huge impression on me and one that I was mostly worried about perserving.

But anyways, it's sappy and romantic but it's just full of love and happiness that it makes my heart ache and long for a similar type of love. There are some stanzas I'm kinda "eh" about, but it is what it is. My favorite is the beginning where it starts gently and the following stanza esp where the song and singer emphasizes the "I love you."

There are countless small crossroads within life
We each have our own futures where we made a choice, and they will change shape
But no matter what kind of future, I think I'll be together with you
For example, even if you hadn't come to the store we first met at
And even if I hadn't noticed you at the crosswalk where we met for the 2nd time
If we met today, I would fall in love with you

"I love you" the sound of those words shine as the days increase
It's just us in our empty room, and everything is beautiful because of that
"I love you" with that single phrase
You're saying you can accept even my bad habits
Every time, I fall in love with you so many times that you'd be embarrassed in your heart

You say it's for us, but all you do is work
"I want you to treasure your friends, but do you love me?"
I've made you feel so sad that you don't know these things unless you ask

Yesterday I heard a story like this
That Olympic athlete, on his own uniform
Wrote his son's name and won a gold medal
They say if a person is burdened with something, it makes them stronger
I'd definitely say that you're that for me

We spend nights when we come to cry just by being together
And I look at you laughing, and you say, "I'm so happy it hurts"
I seriously thought that even when we grow old, I want to be with you
You don't have to act feminine, and sometimes I don't have to act masculine too
If we can love each other like human beings
You won't need your fashionable appearance or dignity anymore
And I won't need to act like I'm tough anymore

When I saw the beautiful scenery, before I was moved by it, I thought "I wish I could show it to you right now"
I had planned on living for myself, but your joy
Became my happiness before I knew it

I pretend to be annoyed by the anniversaries you're eager to increase like that right away
And because I know the next words you'll say in our constant conversations
But in truth I'm paying close attention to you
And I want to make it come true as much as I possibly can
A small one's okay, so we have a dog
And we want kids, but we're together only occasionally on the weekends
It's definitely not just going to be fun, but
In the end it'll be enough if we can laugh and sleep together

Until the shapeless love that was born somewhere goes to the shapeless world
We're connected, so the feelings of hope and our anxieties, yeah, are the same

We've had nights when we've come to cry just by being together
And there will be days when we're so happy it hurts
All of the lovers are looking for it, so let's look for the answer of true love together
