Lyrics:

[한국어]

[English]

시침이 없는 분침 의미가 없잖아

A minute hand without a second hand is meaningless

맛있는 요리가 없는 파티 칙칙해 질 것 같아

A party without delicious food It feels so dull

네가 듣지 않는 노래면 안되잖아

It can't be a song you don't listen to, right?

Cuz everything I do, I do for you

Because everything I do, I do for you

너에게 전할게 이 마음을 웃는 얼굴로 만들 수 있기를

I'll tell you this heart Hoping I can make you smile

모든걸 보여줄거야 나 그런데 다 전할 수 있을까

I'll show you everything about me But can I really share it all?

Like a chopstick 하나면 짚을 수 없어

Like a chopstick You can't pick up with just one

Like a hand to clap 혼자면 재미 없어

Like a hand to clap It’s no fun alone

Like a pretty shoe 쌍이 안맞으면 불안해

Like a pretty shoe I feel uneasy if it’s not a pair

Like a wing to fly 너랑밖에 못 날아

Like wings to fly I can only soar with you

That's why I need you I always wanna be with you

That’s why I need you I always want to be with you

같은 마음으로 있어주길

Hope you feel the same way

That's why I need you I always wanna be with you

That’s why I need you I always want to be with you

같은 내일을 봐줘

Wish for us to see the same tomorrow

음악 없는 스피커 아무 의미가 없어

Speakers without music Mean nothing

밧데리 없는 휴대폰 쓸모 없어

A phone with no battery Is useless

네가 보지않는 무대는 의미가 없어

A stage you don’t see Has no meaning

Cuz everything I sing, I sing for you

Because everything I sing, I sing for you

앞에서 뒤에서 받쳐줄게 웃는 얼굴로 말들 수만 있다면

I'll support you from the front and back As long as I can say it with a smile

네가 없으면 안되는 이유는 잘 표현 못하겠지만

The reason I can’t do without you I can't fully express it but...

Like a chopstick 하나면 짚을 수 없어

Like a chopstick You can't pick up with just one

Like a hand to clap 혼자면 재미 없어

Like a hand to clap It’s no fun alone

Like a pretty shoe 쌍이 안맞으면 불안해

Like a pretty shoe I feel uneasy if it’s not a pair

Like a wing to fly 너랑밖에 못 날아

Like wings to fly I can only soar with you

One Team that's what we are Teamwork that's what we need

One team, that’s what we are Teamwork, that’s what we need

Pass assist and shoot rebound Ball keeps moving around and around

Pass, assist, and shoot, rebound The ball keeps moving round and round

(니가)없으면 모든게 없어! 아무도 대신할 수 없어

(If you're gone) everything's gone! No one else can replace you

싫다 의미가 없어 네가 아니면

Hate it, it’s meaningless without you

혼자라면 Incomplete 자신이 없어 Can’t compete

If I’m alone, I’m incomplete I have no confidence, can’t compete

2빼기 1이 1이라도 Zero 슈퍼맨 보다 너만이 나의 hero

Two minus one equals zero Out of all, you're my only hero

꿈의 답 마음에 밥 너와 탑으로 그게 일

Heart full of dreams and food With you, it all starts from the top

최강의 합 Ain't nobody can stop 승리해서 Let the champagne pop

Our ultimate strength Nobody can stop us Let’s win and pop the champagne

너에게 전할게 이 마음을 웃는 얼굴로 만들 수 있기를

I'll tell you this heart Hoping I can make you smile

모든걸 보여줄거야 나 그런데 다 전할 수 있을까

I'll show you everything about me But can I really share it all?

Like a chopstick 이것봐 함께라면

Like a chopstick See, when we’re together

Like a hand to clap 너와 소리내고싶어

Like a hand to clap I want to make some noise with you

Like a pretty shoe 쌍 맞춰서 (밖에)나가고 싶어

Like a pretty shoe I want to go out matching (with you)

Like a wing to fly 함께 날 수 있어 멀리

Like wings to fly We can fly far together

That's why I need you I always wanna be with you

That’s why I need you I always want to be with you

같은 마음으로 있어주길

Hope you feel the same way

That's why I need you I always wanna be with you

That’s why I need you I always want to be with you

같은 내일을 봐줘

Wish for us to see the same tomorrow
