[Korean:]
If I never met you
Oh 난 어떤 모습일까 baby
Every time I miss you
습관이 돼버린 그 말
(It’s so true)
눈을 떠보니 10년 전
논현동을 서성이던
너무 쉽게 울었고
너무 쉽게 웃던 때
많은 계절 뒤에
겨우 뒤돌아봤을 때
You always here with us together
And every second was forever, oh
측정할 수 없는 마음
미끄러지던 내 삶
베개에 머리가 닿으면
깨지 않길 바랬던 밤 (Wake up)
이젠 네가 있는 여기
This a new home to me
언제든 돌아올 테니까
Baby, don’t you worry
우리가 걷는 이 길이
모두 다 길이 될 테니
If I never met you
Oh 난 어떤 모습일까 baby
Every time I miss you
습관이 돼버린 그 말
(It’s so true)
You’re my best friend
For the rest of my life
하나 둘 셋
우리의 합
잊지 못해
모든 순간
Oh 나의 봄날을
책임져준 Flower 덕분에 나다웠어
날 위로해 준 너의 그 무수한 말
그게 날 만든 거야
그래 넌 나의 젊음
또 나의 청춘
고마운 벗
내 자랑 내 천국 또 Love
사방이 깜깜했지
그 사이 한줄기 빛
정말 그대여서 다행이야 참
함께임에 우린 빛나잖아
달리고
또 넘어지고
일으켜주고
쓰러지기도 Oh
그 손 내밀어 주겠니
몇 번이든 일어날 테니
힘들면 잠시 쉬어도 돼
널 기다리며 언제나 이곳에
Daydreaming about us facing
Really don’t wanna say it but
If I never met you
Oh 난 어떤 모습일까 baby
Every time I miss you
습관이 돼버린 그 말
(It’s so true)
You’re my best friend
For the rest of my life
I wish I could turn back time
모든 게 쉽던 그때
더 많이 해줄 걸 그 말
I’ll be with you
For the rest of my life
Rest of my life
