[English]
I remember myself back in that momentWhen the barren land burned me down
I ran looking at the blue sky
Wanted to fly, in that airplane
I remember myself back in that moment
When the barren land burned me down
I ran looking at the blue sky
Wanted to fly, the airplane airplane
I still can’t believe it
Gwang-Ju native’s aviation madness
Now in the very place of dream that was so high
Flying over the beautiful world
Always when I get on it
Butterflies in my stomach on the first trip to Japan
I still think of it
Cuz that flied my dream
Cuz it made this
Everywhere
Now I’m an ‘Issue Man’ and all the camera flashes
Blessings on the safe arrival
God Bless
I remember myself back in that moment
When the barren land burned me down
I ran looking at the blue sky
I fly more than enough in the Airplane
Some people talk shit about me
Those some people get jealous in loneliness
Don’t give a damn I just laugh at it
Drink Champagne in my Airplane
Over the clouds everyday
Over the clouds are my feelings
Over the clouds, Check it
Chemistry between me and the clouds
Everyday with the clouds
The fun riding the clouds, the fading in with the clouds, you don’t know. Maybe.
Flying for years now
Got a mileage close to a million
It’s time to console you who didn’t make it yet
I’ll give the flight points as a present
Love the airplane mode
Turn off all the concerns, no matter what anyone says
Just continue keeping the first
And look at the sky
Seems quite right from my seat now
I remember myself back in that moment
When the barren land burned me down
I ran looking at the blue sky
I remember those days in this airplane
Some people talk shit about me
Those some people get jealous in loneliness
Don’t give a damn I’m just happy
I made it, I feel it in my Airplane
