Original Lyrics 日本語歌詞
別に会う必要なんて無い
betsu ni au hitsuyou nante nai
しなきゃいけないこと沢山あるし
shinakya ikenai koto takusan aru shi
毎日話す必要なんて無い
mainichi hanasu hitsuyou nante nai
電話代かさんで迷惑してるんだ
denwadai kasande meiwaku shiterun da
変わらない愛情なんて無い
kawaranai aijyou nante nai
不安があるから強くなるし
huan ga aru kara tsuyoku naru shi
二人のこと誰にも言わない
hutari no koto dare nimo iwa nai
子供じゃないんだから
kodomo jya nain da kara
どこまでも続く道じゃない
dokomade mo tsuzuku michi jya nai
だったら他を選べばいいのに
dattara hoka wo erabe ba ii noni
笑える話
waraeru hanashi
傷つけられても I’m back for more
kizutsukerare temo
君にaddictedかも
kimi ni addicted kamo
会えないからって死ぬわけじゃないし
aenai karatte shinu wake jya nai shi
お互いの事情分かってる
otagaino jijyou wakatteru
だけどそれじゃ苦しくて
dakedo sorejya kurushiku te
毎日会いたくて
mainichi aitaku te
この気持ちどうすればいいの

いきなりなれなくて

Oh baby(oh baby)
君にaddictedかも

求め合う理由なんて無い
motome au riyuu nante nai
キレイ事も必要さ
kireigoto mo hitsuyou sa
留守電になってる夜中
rusuden ni natteru yonaka
メッセージ聞きにもう一度かけたい
messeeji kikini mou ichido kaketai
I’m in love with you
I know you want me too
言えないから 言わないんじゃない
ienai kara iwanain jya nai
泣けるストーリー

I think I’m addicted to you
English Lyrics
I don't mind not seeing you I have a lot to do I don't need to talk to you every day annoyed by the running up phone bills No love is eternal I know anxiety makes us stronger I won't tell anyone about us You know? I am not a child This isn’t an ever-lasting road Then why don't I just go another one? Funny story Even when you hurt me, I'm back for more I think I'm addicted to you I won’t die just because I can't see you. I understand each other's circumstances But it's just too painful I just wanna see you every day I don't know what to do with this feeling I just wanna be an adult now but can't be in a second Oh baby I think I'm addicted to you There's no reason to want each other We sometimes need pretty words At midnight, you’re setting the phone to voicemail mode I wanna call again to listen to your answering machine I'm in love with you I know you want me, too It's not that I don’t tell you ‘cause I can't Sad story Every time you doubt me, I love you more I think I'm addicted to you Everyone around me repeats similar excuses thinking we need a reason But it's just too painful I just wanna see you every day Can I tell you how I feel? Hold me tight rather than a kiss Don't stop so suddenly Oh, baby I think I'm addicted to you I'm so addicted to how I miss you when I can’t see you as to love I feel at your side Hold me tight rather than a kiss Don't stop so suddenly Oh, baby But it's just too painful I just wanna see you every day I don't know what to do with this feeling I just wanna be an adult now but can't be in a second Oh baby I think I'm addicted to you Hold me tight rather than a kiss Don't stop so suddenly Oh, baby I think I'm addicted to you
It’s incredible that she was only sixteen when she wrote this song.
I wonder whether the millenniums or Gen-Z know that we used to tailor the answering machine… I recorded a new one for my family’s landline (yes, what we have never seen lately!) every season when I was around five.
Even though technologies have drastically changed our lives, what she sang is still so coming to our hearts. It is often the case that we have already fallen in love when we wonder if we do, no matter how stubbornly we pretend we don’t.
Particle: 「て te／で de」
Presumably, this is one of the most frequently used particles. I can easily find over 20 usages with a quick glance on a dictionary. More surprisingly, or unfortunately for Japanese learners, we use every single usage on a daily bases. In this song, there are two outstanding phrases in the chorus which use this but have very different meaning.
だけどそれじゃ苦しくて:
This 「て」emphasises the feeling, which is described just before it. In this case, it accentuates the feeling「苦しい／painful.
キスより抱きしめて:
This 「て」corresponds a light order or asking.
