[English]

The time we shared

stretched as long as our moments together

Leaning on each other, perhaps

it might have felt natural

Countless cries

never reached each other’s hearts

and just flowed away like that

So whenever you ask me again

how I feel

Please remember

my answer is you

Even if I walk the long road again

my heart will still be the same

We’ll be alright

I want to try again

Through frequent arguments

even if we fall apart again and again

As I’ve said, what matters is us

It’s not meaningless

It’s about taking one more step forward

The past is telling us that

So whenever you ask me again

how I feel

Please remember

my answer is you

Even if I walk the long road again

my heart will still be the same

We’ll be alright

I want to try again

Even if it’s the same repetition

You should know that

I’m always on your side

Please remember

My answer is you

Even if I walk the long road again

my heart will still be the same

We’ll be alright

I want to try again

We’ll be alright

Please, try again

[Korean]

우리가 나눈

긴 시간만큼 늘어난

기댄 어쩌면

당연할지도 몰라

수많은 외침도

서로의 마음에 닿지 못한 채

그렇게 흘러가기도 했지만

So whenever you ask me again

how I feel

Please remember

my answer is you

먼 길을 다시 돌아간다 해도

난 여전히 같은 마음일 테니까

We’ll be alright

I want to try again

잦은 다툼에

몇 번이고 다시 무너져도

중요한 건 우리라고 말했듯

무의미하지 않아

한 걸음 더 나아가는 거라고

지난날이 말해주고 있는 걸

So whenever you ask me again

how I feel

Please remember

my answer is you

먼 길을 다시 돌아간다 해도

난 여전히 같은 마음일 테니까

We’ll be alright

I want to try again

같은 반복이여도

You should know that

I’m always on your side

Please remember

My answer is you

먼 길을 다시 돌아간다 해도

난 여전히 같은 마음일 테니까

We’ll be alright

I want to try again

We'll be alright

Please, try again
