점점 지쳐만 가는 00:18
많이 무료한 날들 00:20
하루 끝에 나를 돌아보기도 싫어 00:22
나도 내가 쉬워 00:26
꾸미려 애썼어 그런 감각은 00:27
그러다 어느 날 나는 00:32
먼지 쌓인 서랍장을 00:34
열어보니 방긋하고 웃어 버리면 00:38
It time keeps your early job 00:45
내가 쓴 내게 쓴 말 한 가득 00:47
곱게 접어 묻어둔 편지 한 장 00:50
들였어도 즐겁던 거북이 왔나 00:54
잠깐 멈춰 살짝 열어 00:58
한참 서서 시간을 있다가 01:01
어디까지 갔나요 01:05
또 나르기 했나요 01:07
언젠가 내가 마주할 01:10
아주 만일에 넌 01:13
그 꿈을 이루나 01:15
너 일쯤 해 온 걸까 01:17
나도 모르고 했다 만약 01:20
언제나 뭔가 된 듯 01:23
아주 멀리 든 01:26
어떤 꿈을 꿨던 걸까 01:28
어떤 꿈을 꿨던 걸까 01:31
어제는 나를 담은 일기장과 01:34
달리 생각보다 훨씬 많이 당찬 01:38
환한 여정 활짝 펴 나 가려던 꿈만 있잖아 01:42
어디까지 갔나요 01:50
또 나르기 했나요 01:52
언젠가 내가 마주할 01:55
아주 만일에 넌 01:58
그 꿈을 이루나 02:01
너 일쯤 해 온 걸까 02:03
나도 모르고 했다 만약 02:05
언제나 뭔가 된 듯 02:08
아주 멀리 든 02:11
어떤 꿈을 꿨던 걸까 02:14
어떤 꿈을 꿨던 걸까 02:17
먼지 쌓인 사랑과 남아있던 02:20
사랑만 남아있어 우리는 02:25
오늘 만난 거야 02:30
다시 가 볼게 02:32
네 손을 잡은 채 02:35
어디로 가 볼까 02:37
어떤 삶이 되어 볼까 02:40
우리가 두 손 잡으면 02:43
다가올 미래에서 02:46
무엇도 없지 02:50
어디 좀 할지 만 02:52
움츠려 있었던 뿐이야 02:55
이제 다시 툭툭 털어서 03:00
한 걸음 두 걸음 널 03:03
믿고서 걸어갈 거야 03:06
믿고서 걸어갈 거야 03:10
널 보기 만지라 03:13
우리가 만지라 03:17
말만 03:20

[English]
Growing more tired each day
On these very boring days
By the end of the day, I hate looking back at myself
Even I think I’m easy
I tried to dress up, that kind of feeling
Then one day, I found
Opened a dusty drawer
And when I smiled brightly, I burst out laughing
Time keeps you working early
Full of words I wrote to myself
A letter I carefully folded and tucked away
Even if it was just a silly turtle, it was joyful
Stop for a moment, open it slightly
Stand there for a while, then wait
Where did I go?
Did I carry it again?
Someday, I’ll face
If somehow you’re there
Will you realize that dream?
Have you done something like that?
Maybe I did it without knowing
Always feeling like I’ve become something
Way out there
What kind of dream did I have?
What kind of dream was it?
Yesterday, I took my diary
Much more bold than I thought
With bright days I was about to start anew
Where did I go?
Did I carry it again?
Someday, I’ll face
If somehow you’re there
Will you realize that dream?
Have you done something like that?
Maybe I did it without knowing
Feeling like I’ve become something
Way out there
What kind of dream did I have?
What kind of dream was it?
Dusty love, and the love that remained
All that’s left is love, and we
Met today
I will go back again
Holding your hand
Where shall we go?
What kind of life shall we try?
When we hold hands
In the coming future
Nothing at all
Where should we go?
Just feeling small and hesitant
Now, dust ourselves off again
Take one step, then two steps
And trust you, I’ll walk
Trust you, I’ll walk
Just to see you
And to touch us
Just words
