[English]

You and me

An endless history

Oh, you've become my universe

Our story

Like a tiny asteroid drifting aimlessly

I was just floating along too

All my dreams found in the dark

A new story begins

When I'm with you

There’s no one else

I feel like I’m in heaven all alone

When I’m with you

There’s no one else

I’ve never felt this way before

You and me

Like an unbreakable star

Becoming your dream

Traveling through the universe

Like the Milky Way shining on a dark path

You were shining toward me

The only light found in the darkness

My path toward you

When I'm with you

There’s no one else

I feel like I’m in heaven all alone

When I’m with you

There’s no one else

I’ve never felt this way before

I’ve never felt this way before

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

When I’m with you

There’s no one else

I get heaven all to myself

When I’m with you

There’s no one else

A life, a sparkle in your eyes

Heaven is coming through

And I love you

And I love you

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Korean]

You and me

끝나지 않을 history

Oh, 나의 우주가 돼 준

우리의 이야기

목적지 없이 흘러가는 저 소행성처럼

나도 그저 떠내려가고 있었어

어둠 속에 찾은 나의 모든 dream

새롭게 시작될 story

When I'm with you

There is no one else

I get heaven to myself

When I’m with you

There is no one else

I feel this way I’ve never felt

You and me

깨지지 않는 별처럼

너의 꿈이 되어

우주를 여행하는

어두운 길을 비춰주는 저 은하수처럼

너는 나를 향해 빛나고 있었어

어둠 속에 찾은 단 하나의 빛

너에게 향하는 나의 길

When I'm with you

There is no one else

I get heaven to myself

When I’m with you

There is no one else

I feel this way I never felt

I feel this way I never felt

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

When I'm with you

There is no one else

I get heaven to myself

When I’m with you

There is no one else

A life, a sparkle in your eyes

Heaven comin’ through

And I love you

And I love you

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
