[English]

You endlessly lingered in my mind

Deep within that instinct

Aimlessly circling, round and round

This maze is filled with triples

This labyrinth

In that unease

Now I’m completely trapped

I'm drowning low low

You just take my body and soul

No matter how time passes, no one else matters to me but you

Babe come back to me, I love you always

I want to remember, Baby, I can’t love anyone else

[Korean]

끝없이 맴돌던 네가

그 본능 속에

덧없이 맴돌고 맴돌아

트리플이 가득해

이 미로

그 불안 속에

이젠 빠져버린 걸 다

I'm drowning low low

You just take my body and soul

시간이 흘러도 나에겐 너 말고 의미가 없어

Babe come back to me 사랑해 언제나

기억하고 싶어 Baby 아무도 사랑할 수 없어
