[English]

Call me by name

Where my heart sways

It feels like my time has come

Within that sunlight

Riding on the rough wind

We are poets, singers

Just waking from a deep sleep

We don't even know what pain is

Call me by fate

Where my heart sways

To the place where dreams whisper

You break me down and lift me up again

The one who finally lets me breathe

Only you made me believe in destiny

I guess we

It’s time to shake things up

And then we find our peace

Tell me, perfect love

What is it?

It's burning bright

Feel it, we are young, no doubt

I'm such a loser, she's such a weirdo

No matter what they say, someone wants you

And I’m loving the combo, combo

A perfect storm

Breaking through those eyes

Always seeking danger, that’s who we are

We want the truth

Feels like it’s burning away

And it hurts, and it hurts, and I

As long as I have you

Don’t try to run away

Even if everything seems broken

We’ll survive and shine only together

You tear me down and lift me back up

The one who finally makes me breathe

The only fool who made me believe in love

I guess we

Time to shake it up

And find our peace

Tell me, perfect love

What is it?

It’s burning bright

Feel it, we are young, no doubt

I’m such a loser, she’s such a weirdo

No matter what they say, someone wants you

And I’m loving the combo, combo

Our special rule

Even if we’re on the same path, sometimes we go astray

Don’t worry

You’re honest, I promise I won’t let this fade away

Embrace the unknown in night and day

Deep with you, from the bottom to the top

Wherever the first step of this long journey was

Because when I’m with you, I feel free

I guess we

Time to shake things up

And then we find peace

Tell me, perfect love

What is it?

It’s burning bright

Feel it, we are young, no doubt

I’m such a loser, she’s such a weirdo

No matter what they say, someone wants you

And I’m loving the combo, combo

I’m such a loser, she’s such a weirdo

No matter what they say, someone wants you

And I’m loving the combo, combo

[Korean]

Call me by name

Where my heart sways

나의 시간이 온 듯해

저 햇빛 속에

거친 바람을 타

우린 시인이야 노래야

긴 잠에서 막 깨어나

아픔이 뭔지도 몰라

Call me by fate

Where my heart sways

꿈들이 속삭인 곳에

넌 날 무너뜨리고 다시 일으켜

결국 날 숨 쉬게 한

운명이란 걸 믿게 한 사람 오직 너뿐

I guess we

It’s time to stir it up

And then we settle down

말해줘 Perfect love

그게 뭔데

타오르고 있어

느껴봐 We are young no doubt

I’m such a loser, she such a weirdo

누가 뭐래 널 원하고 있어

And I’m loving the combo combo

완벽한 폭풍

그 눈 속 헤쳐

위험을 찾아 늘 그랬어

진실을 원해

살 에이는 듯한

And it hurts and it hurts and I

너만 있으면 되잖아

달아나려고 하지 마

모두 망가져 버린 듯해도

둘만은 살아 반짝일걸

넌 날 무너뜨리고 다시 일으켜

결국 날 숨 쉬게 한

사랑 같은 걸 믿게 한 바보 오직 너뿐

I guess we

It’s time to stir it up

And then we settle down

말해줘 Perfect love

그게 뭔데

타오르고 있어

느껴봐 We are young no doubt

I’m such a loser, she such a weirdo

누가 뭐래 널 원하고 있어

And I’m loving the combo combo

둘만의 법칙

같은 길인 듯해도 삐뚤어지곤 해

넌 걱정하지 마

You honest I promise I won’t let it fade away

밤과 낮 속에서 미지를 껴안아

I’m in with you deep to up top

긴 여정의 첫걸음 그 시작이 어디였든

Cause when I’m with you I feel like I’m free

I guess we

It’s time to stir it up

And then we settle down

말해줘 Perfect love

그게 뭔데

타오르고 있어

느껴봐 We are young no doubt

I’m such a loser, she such a weirdo

누가 뭐래 널 원하고 있어

And I’m loving the combo combo

I’m such a loser, she such a weirdo

누가 뭐래 널 원하고 있어

And I’m loving the combo combo
