[English]

You're my remedy, such a precious person

Even if I can't reach, I like just looking at you

But why do our eyes keep meeting?

Everywhere I touch, I keep running into you

Really, oh my god, this isn't supposed to happen

The more I know, the more I want to learn

Taking a small bite makes me fall

Into an unexpected flavor I never imagined

You’re just like almond chocolate

Sweet and a bit bitter, that irresistible taste

I can't escape, I'm already addicted

My heart is overflowing

Because of your pretty eyes and warm hands

Annoying words and a carefree smile

Adding your image little by little into my heart’s folder

With each one I add, I like you more

My feelings keep growing

You're my energy, my worries disappear

Love is painful, and my worries keep increasing

I still don't know exactly what this heart is,

But I’m sure my heart is getting bigger

Really, oh my god, in this moment

I'm grateful for the miracle of meeting you

Your hidden side

I recognized it, I truly am a lucky girl

You're just like almond chocolate

Sweet and a bit bitter, that irresistible taste

I can't escape, I'm already addicted

My feelings are overflowing

Maybe you're feeling the same?

The hidden charm only I could find

Melting sweetly, the bitterness spreads

Everything about you is so special

You're just like almond chocolate

Sweet and a bit bitter, that irresistible taste

I can't escape, I'm already addicted

My feelings are overflowing

Because of your pretty eyes and warm hands

Annoying words and a carefree smile

Adding your image little by little into my heart’s folder

With each one I add, I like you more

The whole world shines

[Korean]

넌 나의 치료제 너무 귀한 존재

닿을 수 없대도 보기만 해도 좋아

그런데 대체 왜 자꾸 눈이 마주쳐

닿는 곳마다 꼭 너와 마주쳐

정말 oh my god 이건 아니잖아

알면 알수록 더 알고 싶어져

작게 한 입 베어 물면

생각지도 못한 맛에 빠져들게 돼

넌 꼭 그것 같아 almond chocolate

달콤 쌉싸름한 빠져버린 그 맛

헤어날 수 없어 이미 중독된 나

넘치겠어 이런 내 맘이

그 예쁜 눈동자 그 손의 따스함

얄미운 말들과 제멋대로인 smile

하나씩 하나씩 마음의 폴더에

네 모습 추가할 때마다

점점 더 좋아져

넌 나의 energy 사라지는 고민

사랑은 괴롭지 또 늘어가는 고민

이런 내 맘 뭔지 아직 모르겠지만

커져가는 심장 소린 확실해

정말 oh my god 같은 시간 속에

널 만나게 된 기적에 감사해

숨겨져 있던 네 모습

그걸 알아본 거야 난 정말 lucky girl

넌 꼭 그것 같아 almond chocolate

달콤 쌉싸름한 빠져버린 그 맛

헤어날 수 없어 이미 중독된 나

넘치겠어 이런 내 맘이

너도 똑같을까

나만이 찾을 수 있었던 감춰진 그 매력을

달콤하게 녹아 쓴맛이 퍼져가

너의 모든 게 다 special

넌 꼭 그것 같아 almond chocolate

달콤 쌉싸름한 빠져버린 그 맛

헤어날 수 없어 이미 중독된 나

넘치겠어 이런 내 맘이

그 예쁜 눈동자 그 손의 따스함

얄미운 말들과 제멋대로인 smile

하나씩 하나씩 마음의 폴더에

네 모습 추가할 때마다

온 세상이 빛나
