[English]

I can’t concentrate

on anything but you, baby

I can’t concentrate

on anything but you

Blurred behind the focus

My translucent view, baby

I can’t focus on anything,

on anyone but you

If I put you in the frame

You’re so amazing

Amazing

Clear and sharp, my target

Touch that tone,

Shallower,

Peek at,

Capture you

The look

My eyes auto-focus

Produce it with that sense

Exclude the world, you

That’s no fun

You’re inside me, yeah

I can’t concentrate

on anything but you, baby

I can’t concentrate

on anything but you

Blurred behind the focus

My translucent view, baby

I can’t focus on anything,

on anyone but

You, you, you, you, you

Reviving view, view, view, view, view

Anything but you, you, you, you, you

Aside from you, adieu, dieu, dieu, dieu

A hidden B-side,

Of phrasing tucked away,

This phrasing

Bridged the distance between us

Closing, then widening,

So random,

Your reaction,

My pleasure

It’s you

The center of my gaze

Pushing the world aside

Where are you headed?

I don’t want to lose you

I’ve got tunnel vision, yeah

I can’t concentrate

on anything but you, baby

I can’t concentrate

on anything but you

Blurred behind the focus

My translucent view, baby

I can’t focus on anything,

on anyone but

(You)

(View)

(Adieu)

I can’t focus

You’re all I need

I can’t focus

You’re all I see

I can’t focus

You’re all I need

I can’t focus

You’re all I see

I can’t focus

You’re all I need

I can’t focus

You’re all I see

I can’t focus

You’re all I need

I can’t focus

You’re all I see

[Korean]

I cannot focus on

anything but you baby

I cannot focus on

anything but you

초점 뒤의 흐릿한

반투명한 My view baby

I cannot focus on anything,

on anyone but you

프레임 속에 널 넣으면

You so amazing

amazing

선명한 My subject

그 톤을 만져,

더 얕은,

엿보듯,

널 담은

The look

내 눈은 오토 포커스

그 감각대로 프로듀스

세상 빼기 너

그건 재미없어

넌 내 안에 있어 Yeah

I cannot focus on

anything but you baby

I cannot focus on

anything but you

초점 뒤의 흐릿한

반투명한 My view baby

on anyone but

You you you you you

살아나는 View view view view view

Anything but you you you you you

너 말곤 Adieu dieu dieu dieu dieu

B-side 숨겨놓은

한쪽의 Phrasing,

the phrasing

둘 사이 거리를

좁혔다 넓혀,

So random,

네 반응,

My pleasure

It’s you

내 시선의 중심

세상을 뒤로 미는 중

어디로 가니

널 잃지 않을래

I got tunnel vision yeah

I cannot focus on
