[English]

Maybe you don’t know yet, how I feel

Maybe it'll change like the weather

Even I can't fully understand my feelings

So what does it matter?

Right now, I've completely

Fallen deep for you—that's what matters

It might feel like a dream, but it's definitely not

I can't explain it another way—it might be love

Don’t even doubt what I just said about this feeling

It's not just 'like'—what comes after 'LIKE'?

You and I

It's more than just 'LIKE'

L then O then I, yeah

You and I

It's more than 'LIKE'

What’s after 'LIKE'?

Be careful—the fire you're igniting in your heart

This bright blue flame

Will be hotter than the sun

I go up and down

My feelings are all over the place

Yeah, that’s me

Don’t ask me over and over, it’s tiring

Want to know my good point? It’s being honest

Don’t doubt what I just felt—we mean it

It’s not just 'like'—what’s after 'LIKE'?

You and I

It’s more than just 'LIKE'

L then O then I, yeah

The thrill I feel right now is like a spike

After LO, comes I, then VE

This space is just for you and me, no one can stop us

If you see me, you'll blink

Even time feels wasted

Finally, I’m glad to meet you

Our love will bridge the gap

또 모르지 내 마음이

그게 뭐가 중요하니

지금 네게 완전히

푹 빠졌단 게 중요한 거지

두 번 세 번 피곤하게 자꾸 질문하지 마
