[English]

You pull my body closer, saying let's look at the stars

In one glance, I captured the moonlight in my eyes

Every time I look up in the sky, yeah

There’s not a single star, yeah

I won’t leave you alone

Make sure the moon doesn’t feel lonely

You take my hand, saying let’s look at the stars

Sitting on the rooftop where the evening glow is deep

Every time I look up in the sky, yeah

There’s not a single star, yeah

It’s okay, you’re my universe, shining brightly

Yeah, if just one line of these lyrics

Can comfort you, I’ll take my pen

More than provocative things

I can speak with sincerity all day

You waited for me, more like a puppy than a cat

What made you sad all day long?

Among all the stars, you are the most special

You didn’t even realize that kind of thing

You want some more, more

Why do I keep trying to trap you?

You want some more, more

The sky is nothing to believe in

You take my hand, saying let’s look at the stars

Sitting on the rooftop where the evening glow is deep

Every time I look up in the sky, yeah

There’s not a single star, yeah

It’s okay, you’re my universe, shining brightly

Yeah, you know I sometimes

Get heavy, and I flinch

I have no hand to comfort you

Yeah, right now I’m a lost star

The force pulling me is you

You wander the sky, lost without stars

The path we’ve taken is like constellations

You and I follow that road

Please remember me, oh

You want some more, more

Why do I keep trying to trap you?

You want some more, more

The sky is nothing to believe in

You take my hand, saying let’s look at the stars

Sitting on the rooftop where the evening glow is deep

Every time I look up in the sky, yeah

There’s not a single star, yeah

It’s okay, you’re my universe, shining brightly

Girl, I don't know why I'm leaving

Girl, I don't know why, tell me from the start

Girl, I don't know why I'm leaving

Girl, I don't know why

You take my hand, saying let’s look at the stars

Sitting on the rooftop where the evening glow is deep

Every time I look up in the sky, yeah

There’s not a single star, yeah

It’s okay, you’re my universe, shining brightly (It’s okay)

Yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah (yeah eh, eh, eh)

Yah yah yah yah yah yah (yeah-eh, eh, eh)

Yah yah yah yah yah yah (yeah-eh, eh, eh)

Yah yah yah yah yah yah (I set out to find someone just like you)

Yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah (yeah-eh, eh, eh)

Yah yah yah yah yah yah (yeah-eh, eh, eh)

Yah yah yah yah yah yah (Even if I try to pull you back)

Every time I look up in the sky, yeah

[Korean]

너는 별을 보자며 내 몸을 당겨서

단 한 번에 달빛을 내 눈에 담았어

Every time I look up in the sky, yeah

근데 단 한 개도 없는 star, yeah

혼자 두지 않을게

저 달이 외롭지 않게 해 줘

너는 별을 보자며 내 손을 끌어서

저녁노을이 진 옥상에 걸터앉아

Every time I look up in the sky, yeah

근데 단 한 개도 없는 star, yeah

괜찮아 네가 내 우주고 밝게 빛나 줘

Yeah, 이런 가사 한 마디가

널 위로한다면 나 펜을 잡을게

자극적인 것보다

진심만으로 말할 수 있어 all day

고양이보다 넌 강아지같이 날 기다렸지

하루 종일 뭐가 그리 슬펐지

이 별에서 네가 가장 특별해

너는 그런 거 전혀 몰랐지

You want some more, more

왜 자꾸만 널 가두려 하는 건지

You want some more, more

Sky is nothing to believe

너는 별을 보자며 내 손을 끌어서

저녁노을이 진 옥상에 걸터앉아

Every time I look up in the sky, yeah

근데 단 한 개도 없는 star, yeah

괜찮아 네가 내 우주고 밝게 빛나 줘

Yeah, 있잖아 난 네가 아주 가끔씩

무겁게 할 때마다 움칫

널 위로할 손이 난 없네

Yeah, 지금 난 갈 길을 잃은 별

날 당기는 힘은 너

넌 별을 잃은 하늘처럼 떠돌고 다녀

우리가 지난 길이 별자리처럼

나와 너 그 길을 따라서

날 기억해줘 oh

You want some more, more

왜 자꾸만 널 가두려 하는 건지

You want some more, more

Sky is nothing to believe

너는 별을 보자며 내 손을 끌어서

저녁노을이 진 옥상에 걸터앉아

Every time I look up in the sky, yeah

근데 단 한 개도 없는 star, yeah

괜찮아 네가 내 우주고 밝게 빛나 줘

Girl, I don't know why I'm leaving

Girl, I don't know why 처음부터 다시 알려 줘

Girl, I don't know why I'm leaving

Girl, I don't know why

너는 별을 보자며 내 손을 끌어서

저녁노을이 진 옥상에 걸터앉아

Every time I look up in the sky, yeah

근데 단 한 개도 없는 star, yeah

괜찮아 네가 내 우주고 밝게 빛나 줘 (괜찮아)

Yah yah yah yah yah yah yah yah (yeah eh, eh, eh)

Yah yah yah yah yah yah (yeah-eh, eh, eh)

Yah yah yah yah yah yah (yeah-eh, eh, eh)
