Lyrics

Korean
I remember I, I, I remember Ah, ah 어느 날 세상이 멈췄어 아무런 예고도 하나 없이 봄은 기다림을 몰라서 눈치 없이 와버렸어 발자국이 지워진 거리 여기 넘어져있는 나 혼자 가네 시간이 미안해 말도 없이, yeah 오늘도 비가 내릴 것 같아 흠뻑 젖어버렸네 아직도 멈추질 않아 저 먹구름보다 빨리 달려가 그럼 될 줄 알았는데 나 겨우 사람인가 봐 몹시 아프네 세상이란 놈이 준 감기 덕분에 눌러보는 먼지 쌓인 되감기 넘어진 채 청하는 엇박자의 춤 겨울이 오면 내쉬자 더 뜨거운 숨 끝이 보이지 않아 출구가 있긴 할까? 발이 떼지질 않아 않아, oh 잠시 두 눈을 감아 여기 내 손을 잡아 저 미래로 달아나자 [JM/JK] Like an echo in the forest 하루가 돌아오겠지 아무 일도 없단 듯이 Yeah, life goes on Like an arrow in the blue sky 또 하루 더 날아가지 On my pillow, on my table Yeah, life goes on Like this again 이 음악을 빌려 너에게 나 전할게 (Ayy) 사람들은 말해 세상이 다 변했대 (No) Mm-mm-mm-mm 다행히도 우리 사이는 아직 여태 안 변했네 늘 하던 시작과 끝 "안녕" 이란 말로 오늘과 내일을 또 함께 이어보자고 (Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh-woah) 멈춰있지만 어둠에 숨지 마 빛은 또 떠오르니깐 끝이 보이지 [JK/V] 않아 출구가 있긴 [JK/V] 할까? 발이 떼지질 [JK/V] 않아 않아 oh 잠시 두 눈을 감아 [JK/V] (감아) 여기 내 손을 잡아 [JK/V] (잡아) 저 미래로 달아나자 [JK/V] (Oh, oh, oh) Like an echo in the forest 하루가 돌아오겠지 아무 일도 없단 듯이 Yeah, life goes on (Oh, woah) Like an arrow in the blue sky 또 하루 더 날아가지 (날아가지) On my pillow, on my table Yeah, life goes on Like this again [V/JM] I remember I, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah I remember Ah-ah, ah-ah I remember I, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah I remember Ah-ah, ah-ah

English
I remember I, I, I remember Ah, ah One day, the world stopped Without any warning Spring didn't know to wait Showed up not even a minute late Streets erased of footprints I lie here, fallen to the ground Time goes by on its own Without a single apology, yeah It looks like rain again today I'm soaked to the bone Still won't stop (Hey) Running faster than that cloud of rain Thought that'd be enough Guess I'm only human after all I'm in a world of pain This cold the damn world gave to me (Woo) Prompts me to press the dust-covered rewind Dancing off-beat lying on the ground Once winter comes, let's exhale A warmer breath There's no end in sight Is there a way out? My feet refuse to move, oh Close your eyes for a moment Hold my hand To that future, let's run away [JM/JK] Like an echo in the forest The day will come back around As if nothing happened Yeah, life goes on Like an arrow in the blue sky Another day flying by On my pillow, on my table Yeah, life goes on Like this again Let me tell you with this song (Ayy) People say the world has changed (No) Mm-mm-mm-mm But thankfully between you and me Nothing's changed With the "annyeong" that we start and finish the day Let us thread tomorrow with today (Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh-woah) Stopped for now but don't hide in the shadow Once again daylight will glow There's no end in sight [JK/V] (no) Is there a way out? [JK/V] (a way out?) My feet refuse to move [JK/V] (no, no, oh) Close your eyes for a moment [JK/V] (close it) Hold my hand [JK/V] (hold it) To that future, let's run away [JK/V] (Oh, oh, oh) Like an echo in the forest The day will come back around As if nothing happened Yeah, life goes on (Oh, woah) Like an arrow in the blue sky Another day flying by (flies by) On my pillow, on my table Yeah, life goes on Like this again [V/JM] I remember I, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah I remember Ah-ah, ah-ah I remember I, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah I remember Ah-ah, ah-ah
