ストーリーの余白

Yohaku Story

Liner Notes

A one-sided love song about feelings that swell in an after-school hallway, ones you just can't say. I poured into my voice the sensation of love quietly gathering in the margins, the spaces that don't make it into the story.

Lyrics (Japanese)

放課後の廊下君の足音だけ探す自販機の光私だけが少し熱いストーリーの端に写らない気持ちを隠す目が合うたびに心が小さく跳ねる言えないのに近づきたくて白い息が秘密を揺らすあと一歩が怖いのに君の名前で全部が明るいストーリーの余白に好きが溜まっていく気づかないふりの距離が今日も甘い好きはまだ秘密のまま光ってる言えないままでも君に向かう私の鼓動が答えになる机の上のノート書けない文字が増える友達の笑い声遠くでゆっくり霞む君の好きな歌小さな音で流して同じリズムで距離が縮む気がしたふいに優しいそれだけで痛い期待してしまう私が嫌いでも今日だけは少しだけ君の隣の未来を信じるストーリーの余白に好きが溜まっていく言葉にしないままでもほどけない好きはまだ秘密のまま光ってる聞こえないくらい小さく言う好きだよもしも同じ気持ちなら笑ってくれるかなもしも違う答えでも抱きしめるよこの恋は私の中できらめいたまま大切にするストーリーの余白に好きが溜まっていく君の横顔だけで今日が満ちる好きはまだ秘密のまま光ってるいつか言える日に涙じゃなく笑顔で言う

Translation

In the after-school hallway I search only for the sound of your steps The glow of the vending machine only I am a little warm At the edge of my story I hide feelings that won't show Each time our eyes meet my heart gives a small leap Though I can't say it I want to come closer My white breath makes the secret waver That one more step is frightening, and yet with just your name everything brightens In the margins of my story love keeps gathering The distance of pretending not to notice is sweet again today My love is still a secret, still glowing Even left unsaid I turn toward you My heartbeat becomes the answer The notebook on my desk the lines I can't write keep growing My friends' laughter blurs slowly in the distance The song you love I play it at a low volume In the same rhythm it felt like the distance shrank Suddenly you're kind and just that hurts I find myself hoping and I hate that but just for today just a little I'll believe in a future beside you In the margins of my story love keeps gathering Even without words it won't come undone My love is still a secret, still glowing So quiet it can't be heard I say it softly I like you If you feel the same will you smile for me Even if the answer is different I'll hold it close This love, inside me still glimmering I'll cherish it In the margins of my story love keeps gathering With just the side of your face today feels full My love is still a secret, still glowing On the day I can finally say it not with tears but with a smile
