[English]

Stuck in the car, no music plays

I just keep biting your lips with your left hand, the one I used to hold

I know what you're about to say, but please don't say it

Don't know why Don't know why

I wish I could hold on a bit longer, just a little more

The empty road pushes me forward

The front of your house keeps spinning back to me, I get tears in my eyes

Days come so quickly here, I feel like I've lost my way

Don't do this, please don't go, please

Don't know why Don't know why

Beyond the windowpane where the rain doesn’t even fall

You're fading into the haze

It's not easy to let you go, just like I said

I can't see you turn away and leave me behind

Maybe I should wipe away my tears now

Should I use the handkerchief you gave me from my pocket, or just throw it away now

Why can't I stop trembling?

Even if I act crazy and try to hold you back

My body won’t listen to what I’m saying

I'm intoxicated by the scent left in the car

I don't want to wake up from this forever

Don’t do this, please (please) don’t go, please (please)

Come back (come back) come back (come back)

Only the cold scent remains on the space you left behind

Don’t do this, please, don’t go, please

Come back (come back) come back (come back)

I'll hold onto the lingering scent, wait for you to return to your place

[Korean]

나란히 앉은 자동차 속에선 음악도 흐르지 않아

늘 잡고 있던 니 왼손으로 너 입술만 뜯고 있어

니가 할 말 알아 그 말만은 말아

Don't know why Don't know why

일분 일초 더 끌고 싶은데

텅 빈 길 나를 재촉해

빙빙 돌아온 너의 집 앞이 나 익숙해 눈물이 나와

하루가 멀게 찾아온 여기서 길을 내가 잃은 것 같아

이러지마 제발 떠나지마 제발

Don't know why Don't know why

비도 안 오는 유리창 넘어

뿌옇게 멀어지는 너

말처럼 쉽진 않은 널 보내야 한다는 일

돌아서서 날 버리고 가는 널 보지 못하고 떨구고 마는

눈물도 이젠 닦아야겠지

주머니 속 니가 줬던 손수건을 써야 할 지 이젠 버려야 할지

왜 떨림이 멈추질 않지

미친척하고 널 잡아 보려 해도

내 몸이 내 말을 잘 듣지를 않아

차 안에 남은 니 향기에 취해

영영 깨고 싶지 않은걸

이러지마 제발(제발) 떠나지마 제발(제발)

돌아와 (돌아와) 돌아와 (돌아와)

니가 떠나간 빈자리 위엔 차가운 향기만 남아

이러지마 제발 떠나지마 제발

돌아와(돌아와) 돌아와(돌아와)

남은 향기만 안고 있을게 돌아와 니 자리로
