[English]

Girl I don't know where you are

But if you can hear my prayer

Give me one last shot

...

With a heart that only knew how to hold it inside

My desperate prayer

Without knowing, I found myself praying to the dark sky

I was saying your name out loud

Please, just give me one more chance

Please don't leave me alone

I can't breathe anymore

Please, come back to me

I'm gonna hold you tight

And I pray to the sky

If dreams are blocking me from reality, even fire

I'll willingly walk into it

Wherever you stand, my halo

Even in the sky, I’ll bring you along

If my earnest longing at the end of my prayer

Reaches you, come to me straight from my dreams

I'll be your man, I won’t let you go again

I could never let you go like that twice

Please call my name

I can't live without you, hold me in your arms again

I can't leave you alone anymore, Baby I just pray

Always on my mind, always, always on my mind

That girl is on my mind 24/7, 365

Dear God, do you hear my cry?

I pray for her return every single night

Promise you I'll be a better man

I won’t ever let her go again, no

Please, just give me one last chance

Please don't leave me alone

And I can't breathe anymore

Please, come back to me

I'm gonna hold you tight

And I pray to the sky

Lord, hear my prayer

Bring my girl back to me

God, even if I’m weak and helpless

And say embarrassing things

God, please, if you do exist

I will change everything, I am in so much pain

Even the way I denied you

And my habit of only calling upon you in times like these

I'll be your man, I won’t let you go again

I could never let you go like that twice

Please call my name

I can't live without you, bring me into your arms again

I can't leave you alone anymore, Baby I just pray

With a heart that only knew how to hold it inside

My desperate prayer

Without knowing, I found myself praying to the dark sky

I was saying your name out loud

...

Baby I pray, yeah

I don't expect you to come back

But I still can't let go of this shamelessness

This is the only instinct I have left

Blindly pursuing you endlessly

Baby I pray, yeah

No matter how much I struggle and fight

I only worry and keep staring

The night sea we used to walk by

Now a cold wind that’s sharp as a blade

Please, call my name

I can't live without you, bring me into your arms again

I can't leave you alone anymore, Baby I just pray

...

[Korean]

Girl I don't know where you are

But if you can hear my prayer

Give me one last shot

늘 속으로만 했던 마음으로 말했던

나의 간절했던 기도를

저 깜깜한 하늘에 난 나도 모르게

입 밖으로 너를 기도했어

제발 한번만 기회를 달라고

Please don't leave me alone

I can't breathe no more

제발 내게 다시 돌아오라고

I'm gonna hold you tight

And I'm praying to the sky

꿈에서 현실로 날 막는다면 불길도

기꺼이 걸어 들어가

네가 서 있는 곳 My halo

하늘 위에도 널 데려가

내 기도 끝에 맺힌 간절함이

들린다면 바로 와줘 내 꿈에서

I'll be your man 다신 너를 놓지 않을게

두 번 다신 널 그렇게 둘 순 없어

제발 내 이름을 불러줘

너 없이 살 수 없는 걸 다시 내 품에 안겨줘

더는 널 혼자 둘 순 없어 Baby I just pray

Always on my mind always always on mind

That girl is on my mind 24/7 365

Dear god do you hear my cry

I pray for her back every night

Promise you that I'm a better man

Won't ever let her go no not again

제발 한번만 기회를 달라고

Please don't leave me alone

And I can't breathe no more

제발 내게 다시 돌아오라고

I'm gonna hold you tight

And I'm praying to the sky

주님 내 기도를 들어줘

나의 그녀를 내게 되돌려줘

나약해빠진 어린 양의

한심한 말까지 들어준다면서

신이시여 제발 당신이 존재한다면

전부 고칠게 죽을 듯 아파요

그대를 부정했던 모습도

이럴 때만 신을 찾는 버릇도

I'll be your man 다신 너를 놓지 않을게

두 번 다신 널 그렇게 둘 순 없어

제발 내 이름을 불러줘

너 없이 살 수 없는 걸 다시 내 품에 안겨줘

더는 널 혼자 둘 순 없어 Baby I just pray

늘 속으로만 했던 마음으로 말했던

나의 간절했던 기도를

저 깜깜한 하늘에 난 나도 모르게

입 밖으로 너를 기도했어

Baby I pray yeah

기대하진 않아 네가 돌아올 거라

하지만 여전히 버리진 못해 이 뻔뻔함

이건 내게 남은 단 하나의 본능이야

눈이 먼 채로 너를 끝없이 따라가 난

Baby I pray yeah

더 발악 발악해봤자

나만 애태우다 또 한참 바라만 봐

둘이 걷던 밤바다

이젠 칼날이 돼버린 차디찬 바닷바람

제발 내 이름을 불러줘

너 없이 살 수 없는 걸 다시 내 품에 안겨줘

더는 널 혼자 둘 순 없어 Baby I just pray
