[English]

Since that day, I've been living like this

I haven't picked up a guitar even once

Since that day, I've been living like this

It's funny, isn't it?

The washing machine is overflowing with laundry

My hair is a mess and all over the place

Outside the window, everything is busy, even the cherry blossoms

It's pathetic

Even if it seems pointless

Right now, I won't

be reincarnated tomorrow

Selling memories

and writing songs

is something I absolutely hate

Since that day, I've been living like this

I haven't picked up a guitar even once

Since that day, I've been living like this

It's funny, isn't it?

Just for today, I love you, I say "I love you"

I wonder if it would be okay to say it and regret it

Love you

Dum dum dum yeah

Dum dum dum yeah

Wanna tell ya - pretending to be inspired

Even if I write cliché lyrics

In the end, the destination is always you

So sick of being sober

Pretending this isn't a song about you

I'll keep living, today, tomorrow, and the day after, it's boring

Selling memories

and writing songs

is something I absolutely hate

Since that day, I've been living like this

I haven't picked up a guitar even once

Since that day, I've been living like this

It's funny, isn't it?

Just for today, I love you, I say "I love you"

I wonder if it would be okay to say it and regret it

Love you

Honestly, talking about music

is just an emotional drain

Writing lyrics and playing guitar has no meaning

I feel like it will turn into forced emotional chords, so I'll stop here

It's all nothing special, right?

(I love you)

Dum dum dum yeah

(I love you)

Dum dum dum yeah

[Korean]

그날 이후로 난 이렇게 살고

더는 기타 한 번도 들지 못 하고

그날 이후로 난 이렇게 살아

웃기지 그런데

세탁기는 가득히 밀려버린 빨래를 토해내고

머리는 붕 떠 부스스해

나 빼고 분주한 창밖은 벚꽃마저 바쁘고

한심하기로

퍽 짝이 없어도

당장에 내가 내일

환생할 리 만무해도

추억 팔아서

곡이나 쓰는 건

딱 죽기보다 싫은데

그날 이후로 난 이렇게 살고

더는 기타 한 번도 들지 못 하고

그날 이후로 난 이렇게 살아

웃기지 그런데

오늘만 I love you 愛してる 사랑해라 말하고

말하고 후회하면 좀 괜찮을까

Love you

Dum dum dum yeah

Dum dum dum yeah

Wanna tell ya 영감을 받은 척하고

뻔한 가사를 써봐도

돌고 돌아 종착지는 결국 you

So sick of being sober

너에 대한 노래 아닌 척

살아가겠지 오늘 내일 또 모레 지겹지만

추억 팔아서

곡이나 쓰는 건

딱 죽기보다 싫은데

그날 이후로 난 이렇게 살고

더는 기타 한 번도 들지 못 하고

그날 이후로 난 이렇게 살아

웃기지 그런데

오늘만 I love you 愛してる 사랑해라 말하고

말하고 후회하면 좀 괜찮을까

Love you

솔직히 말해 음악 같은 건

감정 소모밖엔 안 되니까

가사 쓰고 기타 치는 건 의미도 없고

억지스러운 감동 코드로 변질될 것 같아서 이만 할래

다 별거 없는 거잖아

(I love you)

Dum dum dum yeah

(愛してる 사랑해)

Dum dum dum yeah
