I want to be your lover.Abe Mao
Even people who usually don’t overthink and consider themselves optimists show a different side when they fall in love, don’t they? Even someone with an easygoing mindset can end up, just like in this song, agonizing—second-guessing everything, wanting to ask the other person this and that, wishing they hadn’t said something, and just spiraling.
It’s a song that conveys those helpless feelings of being in love, packed with a sincere, pure desire to “become lovers.” Highly recommended.
