[English]

I walk at my own pace, like this

It's difficult when you talk like that

Everything, from A to Z

Is so different

You're speeding ahead, I'm in reverse gear

I want to run far away

This endless game of hide and seek in my heart

For some reason, I can't be honest

...

I act indifferent on the outside, ooh

But it's not that I don't like you, ooh

I just need a little time, ooh

Catch me, but slowly

I want you falling, ooh

...

Cynical

My closed-off heart, oh

Crescendo

Slowly, but in tempo

Let me go

I want us to get closer

Ooh, it's a trust exercise

...

Slowly let it grow

Feelings building up, layer by layer

Like pastries from Paris, oh

Won't you take it slow?

Can you wait for me?

The slow pace of my heart

...

Slowly, bit by bit

Starting it, starting it now

The more I know you, the more

Deeper and deeper in love

Even if our timings are different

Even if the temperature gap is sometimes wide

Don't worry

We're gonna try

...

I can't match your pace, ooh

It's not that I always dislike it, ooh

We're like a puppy and a cat, ooh

I'll be honest, so will you wait for me? Ooh

...

Cynical

My closed-off heart, oh

Crescendo

Slowly, but in tempo

Let me go

I want us to get closer

Ooh, it's a trust exercise

...

Slowly let it grow

Feelings building up, layer by layer

Like pastries from Paris, oh

Won't you take it slow?

Can you wait for me?

The slow pace of my heart

[Korean]

난 내 속도로 Walk like this

곤란해 When you talk like that

작은 것까지 A to Z

너무 달라

너는 질주 나는 후진 Gear

달아나고파 저만치

계속된 맘의 Hide and seek

왠지 Can't be honest

겉으론 무심하지만 Ooh

네가 싫은 건 아냐 Ooh

시간이 필요해 잠깐 Ooh

Catch me but slowly

I want you falling, ooh

Cynical

닫혔던 내 마음 Oh

Crescendo

느리지만 In tempo

Let me go

더 사귀고 싶어

Ooh, it's a trust exercise

Slowly let it grow

감정이 쌓여 한 겹씩

Like pastries from Paris, oh

Won't you take it slow?

기다려 줄 수 있겠니

느린 내 맘의 속도

천천히 조금씩

Starting it, starting it now

알면 알수록 점점

Deeper and deeper in love

타이밍이 서로 달라도

온도차가 때론 심해도

걱정하지 마

We're gonna try

맞출 수 없는 너의 Pace, ooh

항상 싫은 건 아냐 Ooh

우린 마치 Puppy and cat, ooh

솔직해질게 기다려줄래 Ooh

Cynical

닫혔던 내 마음 Oh

Crescendo

느리지만 In tempo

Let me go

더 사귀고 싶어

Ooh, it's a trust exercise

Slowly let it grow

감정이 쌓여 한 겹씩

Like pastries from Paris, oh

Won't you take it slow?

기다려 줄 수 있겠니

느린 내 맘의 속도
