[Korean:]
I see you
I see you
너 이유 없이 웅크리고 싶은
그럴 땐 내게 기대도 돼
괜찮다는 말은 하지 않기로 해
그냥 하고 싶은 얘길 하면 돼
혼자서만 삼켜야 했던
네 맘속의 이야기를
I see you
설렘 반짝이던 너의 눈빛을
I see you
I see you
작은 두려움에 망설인 밤도
I see you
Oh 언젠간 닿을 수 있단 믿음에
현실 속을 달려왔던 시간에
오랜 꿈의 무게 힘겨운 건 당연해
그럴 땐 그냥 쉬어가도 돼
‘Cause I see you
Oh (‘Cause I see you)
출발선은 조금 늦었대도
너의 속도를 찾아가면 돼
힘이 들 땐 멈추진 못해도
깊은 숨을 쉬었으면 해
혼자서만 삼켜야 했던
네 맘속의 목소리를
I see you
눈물 반짝이던 너의 눈빛을
I see you
I see you
작은 두려움에 뒤척인 밤도
I see you
Oh 왠지 맘이 울적할 땐 기억해
무엇보다 소중한 건 너란 걸
오랜 꿈의 무게 힘겨운 건 당연해
내 손을 잡아 걸어가면 돼
‘Cause I see you
Oh (‘Cause I see you)
Oh (‘Cause I see you)
Oh
너 이유 없이 웅크리고 싶은
그럴 땐 내게 기대도 돼
너의 맘이 잠시 쉬어갈 수 있게
따스하게 너를 꼭 안아줄게
