バス停でだけ強気

Basutei de Dake Tsuyoki

Liner Notes

A one-sided love where I can only be bold at the bus stop. I depicted, with a translucent voice, the small courage of a girl who warms up a word she can't say before the next bus arrives.

Lyrics (Japanese)

バス停でだけ強気 君の前では平気 近づくほどに臆病 でも目だけは逸らさない 次のバスが来るまで 好きって言葉を温める 言えないのに言いたい 私の心がうるさい 朝の空気が白い マフラーに隠す熱 同じ時間に並ぶだけで 今日は当たりに見える 話せる話題を探して 手の中で指を組む 君が来るだけで世界が軽い なのに足は重い あと一歩が出ない 笑われたら怖い でも今日の私には 小さな合図がある バス停でだけ強気 君の前では平気 近づくほどに臆病 でも目だけは逸らさない 次のバスが来るまで 好きって言葉を温める 言えないのに言いたい 私の心がうるさい 雨の予報のアプリ 傘を持つふりして 本当は君の隣の 距離を測ってる 偶然みたいに同じ方向 それだけでドラマ 本当は弱気 でも背すじは伸ばす 言えないままでも 好きは育ってる 強気のふりして 弱さを抱いてる 君の笑顔のそばで 私も笑いたい バス停でだけ強気 明日の私に続け 震える声でもいい 君に届くならいい 次のバスが来る前に 君の名前を言えますように

Translation

Bold only at the bus stop perfectly fine in front of you The closer I get, the more timid but I won't look away Until the next bus comes I warm up the word "I like you" I can't say it yet I want to my heart is so loud The morning air is white I hide the heat in my scarf Just lining up at the same time makes today feel like a win Searching for something to say I lace my fingers in my hands Just you arriving makes the world feel light yet my feet are heavy That one step won't come out I'm scared you'll laugh but the me of today has a small signal Bold only at the bus stop perfectly fine in front of you The closer I get, the more timid but I won't look away Until the next bus comes I warm up the word "I like you" I can't say it yet I want to my heart is so loud The rain-forecast app pretending I'm carrying an umbrella but really I'm measuring the distance beside you Going the same way as if by chance just that is a whole drama Really I'm timid but I straighten my back Even left unsaid this love is growing Pretending to be bold while holding my weakness Beside your smile I want to smile too Bold only at the bus stop carry on, me of tomorrow Even a trembling voice is fine as long as it reaches you Before the next bus comes I hope I can say your name
