[English]

It's just another day

In a day that's exactly the same

Will today be any different?

Is there somethin' else?

To lift the tangled feeling

You pop up again suddenly

Why does it feel so strange

A trembling that rushes in without a name

A vague yet certain pull

Hard to believe that you got me

Why I don't hate it

Someone help me out I'm in the trouble

Now I'm lost, just like a riddle

Trapped in a maze of unfamiliar happiness

I keep smiling like a fool

Nonetheless, I think I finally understand

'Cause of you

I don't want nobody

Body else, body else, no-oh

Body else, body else, nobody

Body else, body else, no-oh

Body else

So tell me how you feel

Whether you're like me, I need nothing

Body else, body else, no-oh

Body else, body else, oh, oh

Why did I only realize now

When I look at you

Everything's so clear

From some point, every moment of mine

The end of my gaze is always you

I can't wait for you to feel it too

My heart deepened without me knowing

How can I let you know you're the one

Even if I wander more, I think it'll be okay

If all those reasons are you, if it's you

Someone help me out, I'm in the trouble

Now I'm lost, just like a riddle

Trapped in a maze of unfamiliar happiness

I keep smiling like a fool

Nonetheless, I think I finally understand

'Cause of you

I don't want nobody

Body else, body else, no-oh

Body else, body else, nobody

Body else, body else, no-oh

Body else

So tell me how you feel

Whether you're like me, I need nothing

Body else, body else, no-oh

Body else, body else, oh, oh

No

Nobody else

Now just tell me the truth

That it's the same as my heart

I need nothin'

Body else, body else, no-oh

Body else, body else, oh, oh (I need no–)

[Korean]

It's just another day

똑같은 하루 속에

오늘은 뭔가 다를까

Is there somethin' else?

막 엉켜든 기분 위로

또 불쑥 떠오른 너

Why does it feel so strange

이름도 없이 밀려온 일렁임

모호하지만 분명한 이끌림

Hard to believe that you got me

왜 그게 싫지 않은지

Someone help me out I'm in the trouble

Now I'm lost, just like a riddle

낯선 행복의 미로에 갇혀

자꾸 웃게 돼 바보처럼

Nonetheless 이젠 알 것 같아

'Cause of you

I don't want nobody

Body else, body else, no-oh

Body else, body else, nobody

Body else, body else, no-oh

Body else

So tell me how you feel

너도 나 같은지 I need nothin'

Body else, body else, no-oh

Body else, body else, oh, oh

왜 이제야, 깨달았을까

널 볼 때면

Everything's so clear

언제부턴가 내 모든 순간

시선의 끝은 늘 너인 걸

I can't wait for you to feel it too

나도 모르게 짙어진 맘

How can I let you know you're the one

더 헤매인대도 괜찮을 것 같아

그 모든 이유가 다 너라면 너라면

Someone help me out, I'm in the trouble

Now I'm lost, just like a riddle

낯선 행복의 미로에 갇혀

자꾸 웃게 돼 바보처럼

Nonetheless 이젠 알 것 같아

'Cause of you

I don't want nobody

Body else, body else, no-oh

Body else, body else, nobody

Body else, body else, no-oh

Body else

So tell me how you feel

너도 나 같은지, I need nothin'

Body else, body else, no-oh

Body else, body else, oh, oh

No

Nobody else

Now just tell me the truth

내 맘과 같다고

I need nothin'

Body else, body else, no-oh

Body else, body else, oh, oh (I need no–)

Key Grammar Structures

• Is there something else?

  ➔ Existential there

  ➔ The sentence uses the existential **"there"** construction. The word "there" introduces the existence of "something else".

• Why does it feel so strange?

  ➔ Do‑support in questions

  ➔ In third‑person singular present, **"does"** is required to form a question. It supports the main verb "feel".

• Hard to believe that you got me

  ➔ Infinitival clause after adjective

  ➔ The adjective **"Hard"** is followed by a bare infinitive clause "to believe that you got me". This pattern expresses difficulty.

• I don't want nobody

  ➔ Double negative (non‑standard)

  ➔ The sentence contains a **double negative**: "don't" + "nobody". In standard English it would be "I don't want anyone"; the double negative gives an informal, emphatic tone.

• Now I'm lost, just like a riddle

  ➔ Simile with "like"

  ➔ The phrase **"just like a riddle"** uses the preposition "like" to draw a comparison, forming a simile that equates feeling lost with a puzzling riddle.

• I can't wait for you to feel it too

  ➔ Modal + infinitive + "for" + object + "to"‑infinitive

  ➔ The structure **"can't wait for you to"** combines the modal "can't" with the infinitive "wait", then adds a "for"‑phrase introducing the object "you" and a second infinitive "to feel". It expresses eager anticipation.

• I need nothing

  ➔ Negative pronoun "nothing" as object

  ➔ The verb **"need"** takes the negative pronoun **"nothing"** as its object, meaning “I don’t need any thing at all”.

• No, nobody else

  ➔ Negative interjection + indefinite pronoun

  ➔ The expression **"No, nobody else"** starts with the interjection **"No"** (a strong denial) followed by the indefinite pronoun **"nobody"**, reinforcing the absolute negation.

• I don't want anybody

  ➔ Standard negative with verb + "anybody"

  ➔ Here **"don't"** negates the verb **"want"**, and the indefinite pronoun **"anybody"** is used after a negative verb, following standard English negation rules.

• I can't wait for you to feel it too

  ➔ Use of "no‑to" infinitive after "wait for" (rare, emphatic)

  ➔ Normally **"wait for"** is followed by a noun or gerund, but here the **"to"‑infinitive** "to feel" is used, giving a more emphatic, forward‑looking meaning.
