Lyrics by: Coogie / Yerin Baek

Composed by: Coogie / GroovyRoom / Lil Moshpit / Yerin Baek

Summer time, winter time, whether it's day or night

I look for things to soothe my loneliness, but I don't beg for love

I light up the cigarette I stopped smoking, then let it go again

Lately, for no reason, words won't come out and my throat feels tight

If you make me relieve, I'll give you what you need

Money comforts me, but it actually ends up tormenting me

Not good at pretending

My lips have been chapped for months, but I haven't had a single moment to care

I'm doing well, how's your injured leg?

I heard tofu is good for a sprained ankle

Stuck in my head

Still the same

I'm doing well, how is your mother's diabetes?

I heard oats are really good for breakfast

Stuck in my head

Still the same

Those summer nights until dawn

Just waiting for the morning to come

I've resigned myself to it, even though I'm living a busy life

Last year, last night

Nothing fancier, you know

My "Flash and Core" became good inspiration

A bittersweet, watertight alibi

I like it better than staying home crying from my anxiety

Something that seems to comfort me, something that isn't love

Don’t know why you’re still stuck boy

I'm doing well, how's your injured leg?

I heard tofu is good for a sprained ankle

Stuck in my head

Still the same

I'm doing well, how is your mother's diabetes?

I heard oats are really good for breakfast

Stuck in my head

Still the same

Summer time winter time 낮이나 밤이나

외로움 달랠 거리나 찾지만 구걸 안 하지 사랑은

끊다 만 연기 불붙이다 다시 놓지

요즘 아무 이유 없이 말 안 나오고 메여 목이

If you make me relieve, I'll give you what you need

돈이 날 위로하긴 오히려 날 괴롭히지

Not good at pretending

입술은 부르튼 지 몇달인데 신경 쓸 틈 1도 없네

난 잘 지내 다쳤던 다리는 어때?

발목 염좌에 두부가 좋다던데

Stuck in my head

여전하게

난 잘 지내 어머님 당뇨는 어때?

아침 식사는 귀리가 참 좋다던데

Stuck in my head

여전하게

Those summer nights until dawn

아침이 오기만

체념한 마음이야 바삐 살고 있지만

Last year, last night

Nothing fancier, you know

My "Flash and Core" became good inspiration

a bittersweet, watertight alibi

I like it better than staying home crying from my anxiety

뭔가 날 위로하는 듯, 사랑 아닌 것이

Don’t know why you’re still stuck boy

난 잘 지내 다쳤던 다리는 어때?

발목 염좌에 두부가 좋다던데

Stuck in my head

여전하게

난 잘 지내 어머님 당뇨는 어때?

아침 식사는 귀리가 참 좋다던데

Stuck in my head

여전하게
