[English]

Ooh, oh

Oh, yeah

In fates so very different

For some reason, we were so much alike

Through the long, sleepless nights

And even the sighs I let out

When your two hands finally reached

For my empty fingertips

You willingly became

My entire world

With my eyes closed tight

I picture you filling my arms

Even through the spreading pain, with you

Even if tomorrow disappears, you, I want nothing else

Even when I try to hold on

You keep slipping through my fingers

When I believed I was all alone in the pouring rain

You walked right by my side

Even this quiet misery, if I'm with you, ooh

A dream where we kiss once more, whoa

With my eyes closed tight

I picture you filling my arms

Even through the spreading pain, with you

Even if tomorrow disappears, you

When the world turns its back on me again

I will hold you and look into your eyes

Even if the ending is already decided, you

Even if I lose everything, you, I want nothing else

Ooh, mm

I want nothing else

...

[Korean]

Ooh, oh

Oh, yeah

너무나 다른 운명 속에서

우린 왠지 닮아 있었지

긴 밤, 잠 못 들다

뱉은 한숨까지

공허하던 나의 손끝에

너의 두 손이 닿았을 때

기꺼이 나의

세상이 돼 준

두 눈을 감은 채

내 품을 가득 채운 너를 그려내

번져갈 아픔에도 with you

내일이 사라진대도 you, I want nothing else

잡으려 해도 자꾸만

손가락 새로 빠져나가

쏟아지는 빗속에 혼자라 믿던 때

넌 나란히도 걸어주네

이 고요한 불행마저 너와 함께라면, ooh

다시 한번 더, 입을 맞출 꿈, whoa

두 눈을 감은 채

내 품을 가득 채운 너를 그려내

번져갈 아픔에도 with you

내일이 사라진대도 you

세상이 다시 내게 등을 돌릴 때

난 너를 안고 너와 눈을 맞출 게

정해진 결말이라도 you

모든 걸 잃는다 해도 you, I want nothing else

Ooh, mm

I want nothing else
