A fast read before the full lyric

A Japanese ballad where the words can't quite reach the person they're meant for.

The song keeps returning to that conditional 'if', if it could be said, if it could arrive, if it could be forgiven.

It's a lyric built on the distance between what's felt and what can actually be delivered.

Editor's note

2AM's Missing and the ache of what won't arrive

A Japanese ballad where the words can't quite reach the person they're meant for.

"I love you kanawa nai mono nara ba"

The song keeps returning to that conditional 'if', if it could be said, if it could arrive, if it could be forgiven. It's a lyric built on the distance between what's felt and what can actually be delivered.

The phrase 'kotoba ni dekiru nara sukoshi wa mashi sa', if it could become words, it would be a little better, sets the whole thing in motion. It's not about grand declarations, just the quiet defeat of a feeling that stays stuck in your chest, too much for language to carry.

It translates roughly to 'if this thing called I love you can't come true.' The conditional framing turns the most certain phrase into something fragile and out of reach.

The way the title word 'Missing' hangs in the air at the very end, almost like a question the singer can't answer.

Kotoba ni dekiru nara sukoshi wa mashi sa

Tagai no mune no naka wa te ni toreru hodo na noni

Furueru hitomi ga katarikake te ta

Deai ga motto hayakere ba to

I love you kanawa nai mono nara ba

Isso wasure tai no ni wasure rare nai subete ga

I miss you yurusa reru koto nara ba

Dakishime te i tai no sa hikari no gogo mo hoshi no yoru mo baby

Tokimeku dake no koi wa nan do mo aru keredo

Konnani setsunai no wa kitto hajimete nano sa

Somari yuku sora ni tsutsuma re te

Towa ni katarau yume o mi ta

I love you todoka nai mono nara ba

Mitsume kaesa nai noni hitomi ubawa re te ugoke nai

I miss you yurusa reru koto nara ba

Dakishime te i tai no sa hikari no gogo mo hoshi no yoru mo baby

Tasogare ni seiippai no iki o sut te

Me o tojiru dake oh ?

I love you boku dake no kimi nara ba

Kono michi o kakedashi te ai ni iki tai ima sugu ni

I miss you yurusa reru koto nara ba

Dakishime te i tai no sa hikari no gogo mo hoshi no yoru mo baby

Missing you ?

Missing you ?
