The club isn't the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow
Saturday nights with Kaito Momota always include him getting wasted at the bar with his friends. It isn't because he particularly enjoys drinking until he passes out, but more because it is a distraction from the hardships of a career as an astronaut.
His friends aren't here today to encourage him to do shots with them or something else that would most likely end with a hangover. He is left to drink alone, his thoughts of failure in life clouding his head.
Come over and start up a conversation with just me
And trust me I'll give it a chance now
Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox
And then we start to dance, and now I'm singing like
He is slightly tipsy when he spots her, the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. Scratch that. This is the type of woman you only have the fortune of spotting in a lifetime in his eyes. Before he knows what he was doing, he's come over to her, and begun talking.
Her name is Maki Harukawa, and she is a nursery school teacher. It is strange, she didn't seem the type. He feels his heart leap as he speaks to her, falling in love with her more and more with each word. All he wants is to know this woman as much as he can.
"Do you want to dance with me?"
She nods, taking his hand and leading him to where the jukebox is playing music.
Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
In a slightly drunk state, he finds himself rambling awkwardly to her while dancing. Her long pigtails twirling with her as he spins her around.
"You must be an angel."
"You'd be quite wrong to assume that. In fact, I'm more of a devil."
Is she also the type to drink her problems away in the dead of night? What kind of story does she have?
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead
One thing leads to another as he kisses her. He wants to explore every part of her, to fall in love with her shape just as he had with her personality.
Some would say it's crazy to feel such a connection with a woman you just met, but sometimes things did happen like that. Craziness happens.
She seems to lead him herself. It's the shape of one body against another, to mix in with the clash of character, and future long nights in deep conversation.
I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
And last night you were in my room
And now my bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with your body
He is in love with her body. The body of the beautiful Maki Harukawa. He loves every inch of her, from her head to her toes, as cliche as it all sounds.
He is also in love with her and just her. Whatever makes Maki Harukawa herself is beautiful, and as he learns more about who she is, even the less than favorable bits, he still loves her because she is her.
Learning to fall in love with every aspect of the one you've fallen for shows the true bonds of love that capture Kaito Momota and alleviate him from the stresses in life.
He wouldn't change any part of Maki if he was forced to, and if asked, she would say the same.
Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I
I'm in love with your body
Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I
I'm in love with your body
Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I
I'm in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you
