## Lyrics

### **Japanese**

いつもより　ほんのちょっと

おとなのことを　わかった気がしたよ

背伸びして　やっと届くか届かないのがちょうどいい

いつもより　ほんのちょっと

おとなのことも　わかった気がしたよ

やさしくて　でも無邪気　そんなキ

ラキラした　いいおとな？

いっつもやさしかったり

色々教えてくれたり

とっても大事な時

真剣なその横顔とか

欲しいとこだけが欲しいから

服のすそをつかんでたら邪魔になる

いつもより　ほんのちょっと

おとなのことを　わかった気がしたよ

背伸びして　やっと届くか届かない

のがちょうどいい

キミはきっと　ほんのちょっと

おとななことも　わかった気がしたよ

イタズラで　なんか知的　そんなキ

ラキラした　ままがいい

ふんわり笑ってたり

びっくりさせてくれたり

邪魔そうな顔をしても

肝心な時守ってくれる

素直に聞き分けられない

期待に答えられなくてごめんね

いつもより　ほんのちょっと

おとなのことを　わかった気がしたよ

背伸びして　やっと届くか届かない

のがちょうどいい

いつもより　ほんのちょっと

おとなのことも　わかった気がしたよ

やさしくて　でも無邪気　そんなキ

ラキラした　いいおとな？

欲しいとこだけが欲しいから

服のすそをつかんでたら邪魔になる

いつもより　ほんのちょっと

おとなのことを　わかった気がしたよ

背伸びして　やっと届くか届かない

のがちょうどいい

キミはきっと　ほんのちょっと

おとななことも　わかった気がしたよ

イタズラで　なんか知的　そんなキ

ラキラした　ままがいい

ままがいい

キラキラしたままがいい

ままがいい

キラキラしたままがいい

### **English**

I feel like I understood
More about adults than I usually do
Pushing myself so that I’m hovering between finally
being one and not being one is just right for me

I feel like I even understood
More about adults than I usually do
Being kind and gentle, but innocent…is a good adult
someone who has that kind of sparkle to them?

You’re always so kind
You teach me all kinds of things
And when it’s really important
You put on a serious face

I want only what I want, so I’m in the way
When I’m tugging on the hems of your clothes

I feel like I understood
More about adults than I usually do
Pushing myself so that I’m hovering between finally
being one and not being one is just right for me

I’m sure you felt like you understood
More about adults too
It’s okay to stay the way you are: mischievous,
kinda intellectual, with that sort of sparkle in you

You smile so softly
You surprise me
And even when you make a face like I’m bothering you
At crucial moments, you protect me

I can’t be quiet and obedient
Sorry that I can’t meet your expectations

I feel like I understood
More about adults than I usually do
Pushing myself so that I’m hovering between finally
being one and not being one is just right for me

I feel like I even understood
More about adults than I usually do
Being kind and gentle, but innocent…is a good adult
someone who has that kind of sparkle to them?

I want only what I want, so I’m in the way
When I’m tugging on the hems of your clothes

I feel like I understood
More about adults than I usually do
Pushing myself so that I’m hovering between finally
being one and not being one is just right for me

I’m sure you felt like you understood
More about adults too
It’s okay to stay the way you are: mischievous,
kinda intellectual, with that sort of sparkle in you

It’s okay to stay that way Go ahead and keep on sparkling It’s okay to stay that way Go ahead and keep on sparkling
