[English]

A repeating collision between you and me

It fades away, but you're already so far away

In just one day, before the asteroid

Falls to the earth to say the words I haven't said

Gravity slowly pulls me up from the heavy ground

Watching the falling hourglass, telling me it's time to go

Dark shadows falling down, I can feel it hurting so much

Closing my eyes with you, letting you be the only thing I hear

The night sky blooming with stars (oh, deep in that sky)

Dust gathered on the stars, gasping for breath

A repeating collision between you and me

It fades away, but you're already so far away

In just one day, before the asteroid

Falls to the earth to say the words I haven't said

I want to fly high into the sky

Deep in the sky, who am I? It's a dilemma

I won't leave your stars, stars

The dark edge of the sky spreading out a goodbye

The words are in my mind

I have to tell you, but I can never say them

Somewhere in between

Our countless farewells keep our memories deep inside

Endless sounds keep ringing in my ears

Wingless angels shining with divine sounds

Somewhere down the galaxy, this place is okay

I can breathe, leaving all worries and pain behind

The last whisper of a marionette

I will bury it here in time and space

Until the end, we are here

A repeating collision between you and me

It fades away, but you're already so far away

In just one day, before the asteroid

Falls to the earth to say the words I haven't said

Your touch—you're the one who will save me from burning (don't ever let me go)

Even at the end of the world, I will never let you go

The end is drawing near, the moment is slowly approaching

When everything is gone, I will find my light

Let me call you back through flowing time and space

Carving your name into my heart, even though it hurts so much

A feeling of regret, a dusky feeling, letting it all out

Under the stars, a tiny asteroid

If I could go back in time, if I could be your light once again

I promise you, every day and every night

I'll tell you my whole truth, without any lies

I want to fly high into the sky

Deep in the sky, who am I? It's a dilemma

I won't leave your stars, stars

The dark edge of the sky spreading out a goodbye

...

[Korean]

Repeating collision in-between you and me

When it fades away but you're already so far away

In just one day, before the asteroid

Falls down to the earth to say the words I haven't said

Gravity draws up slowly pulling me from the heavy ground

Looking at the falling sandglass telling me, now it's time to leave

Dark shadows falling down, I can feel it's hurting me so much

Close my eyes with you and let me leave my ears to you

The sky blooming night with the stars (oh, deep in that sky)

The dusts stacked on stars breathe short of breath

Repeating collision in-between you and me

When it fades away but you're already so far away

In just one day, before the asteroid

Falls down to the earth to say the words I haven't said

I wanna fly high to the sky

Deep in the sky, who am I? It's a dilemma

I won't leave your stars, stars

The dark end of the sky spreading out the goodbye

Words are in my mind

Gotta tell you but I can't ever say to you

Somewhere in-between

Our countless farewells keeps our memories deep inside

Endless sounds keep ringing in my ears

The angels without wings shining divine sounds

Somewhere down the galaxy, it's okay, this place

I can breathe, leave the worries and pain

The last whisper of the marionette

I will bury it here in the time and space

Until the end we are here

Repeating collision in-between you and me

When it fades away but you're already so far away

In just one day, before the asteroid

Falls down to the earth to say the words I haven't said

Your touch, you're the one that will save me from burning (don't ever let me go)

Even at the end of the world, I will never let you go

The end getting close, the moment coming up slowly

When they have all gone, I will find my light

Let me call you back again, flowing time and space

Placing your name in my heart though it hurts me bad

A feeling of regrets, a dusky feeling, and unload

Under the star, the little sized asteroid

If I go back in time, if I can be your light once again

I promise you every day and every night

I'll tell you all my truth without any lies

I wanna fly high to the sky

Deep in the sky, who am I? It's a dilemma

I won't leave your stars, stars

The dark end of the sky spreading out the goodbye
