What is the meaning of First Love Story Lyrics from STAIRS?
Neil describes the nervous joy of young love, using petals, earphones, and crosswalk corners. He sings, ‘Wondering if our fingers will touch or not,’ showing shy desire. The poet mentions pretending small moments are accidents, calling himself a ‘sweet liar’. These details bring the crush to life, warm and real.
花びらキラキラ舞うThe sparkling petals dance around.
So like a sunshine 眩し過ぎる you, yeah!So like a sunshine, you’re too blinding, yeah!
さくら散る前に I wanna tell you, love loveBefore the cherry blossoms fall, I wanna tell you, love love.
My first love, youMy first love, you.
Hey 何気なく歩いてもHey, even when I casually walk by,
踊り出す手の先までright down to my fingertips that start to dance,
バレてるの？ (Oh no)are my feelings showing? (Oh no.)
飲みこまれてく (To you)I’m being swallowed up (To you).
I’m so crazy about youI’m so crazy about you.

繰り返す so love songI keep repeating this love song.
La la la la la love (First love)La la la la la love (First love).
指が触れるか触れないかWondering if our fingers will touch or not,
偶然装う 僕はさ 甘いLiarだからI pretend it’s a coincidence, because I’m a sweet liar.
正直に言えない日々 oh my gosh!These days of not being able to be honest, oh my gosh!
分かるでしょ？You figure it out, right?
君をどんどん好きになってくI’m falling more and more in love with you.
Hey you what does it mean? (Mean)Hey you, what does it mean? (Mean)
その好きって言葉は Like? or Love?Is that word “like” just like? Or love?
Hey! 鏡越しの君 問いかけて (Hey)Hey! I ask you through the mirror (Hey).
今日も分からないまま (Tell me)Still not knowing the answer today (Tell me),
I wish 空眺め (Uh)I wish, gazing up at the sky (Uh).
曇りのち晴れCloudy, then clear skies.
落ち込む日もあるけれどThere are days when I feel down, but
そんなこと忘れてforgetting all about that,
また明日会いたいI want to see you again tomorrow.
La la la la la love (Love you)La la la la la love (Love you).
気分 high high 高まってくMy mood is soaring high, high.
La la la la la love (My heart)La la la la la love (My heart).
いつも bye bye 言えないI can never bring myself to say bye-bye.
La la la la la love (First love)La la la la la love (First love).
たまに格好つけていいとこI wish I could act cool sometimes,
見せれたらいいのにな 甘いLiarだからand show you my best side, because I’m a sweet liar.
横断歩道の片隅 イヤホンつけてさStanding in the corner of the crosswalk, putting on my earphones,
君をどんどん好きになってくI’m falling more and more in love with you.
ねぇ ずっとこのままHey, if things stay like this forever,
こんな僕の願いが叶うとしたらand if a wish like mine could actually come true,
君の香りもI’ll take your scent,
その姿もand your every look,
全部全部 奪ってくよand steal them all away.

正直に言えない日々 oh my gosh!These days of not being able to be honest, oh my gosh!
分かるでしょ？You figure it out, right?
君をどんどん好きになってくI’m falling more and more in love with you.
