[English]

I’m ready to love, tell me, can we stay together?

I’m crazy in love with you, keeping my heart close to you forever.

Since I met you, my feelings keep growing more and more.

Our friendship isn’t enough for me anymore.

The speed of my heart when I first felt it.

I didn’t realize how fast it was going.

All I wanna do is run away.

Cause you are my escape, baby.

Love knows no limit, I need your answer, Ay.

I’m ready to love, tell me, can we stay together?

I’m crazy in love with you, keeping my heart close to you forever.

Run away from the world’s opposition.

Hold my hand.

Keep running away.

Trust me now.

My heart fills up as if I’m running out of breath.

So I can fill it up (so I can).

You give me purpose.

I already know, yeh.

The expression I wear when I’m lost in thought.

Your secret recipe that calms my mood.

The moment my eyes see you.

I know everything.

Even without saying a word.

The speed of my heart when I first felt it.

I didn’t realize how fast it was going.

All I wanna do is run away.

Cause you are my escape, baby.

As long as you're ready, that’s all I need, Ay.

I’m ready to love, tell me, can we stay together?

I’m crazy in love with you, keeping my heart close to you forever.

Run away from the world’s opposition.

Hold my hand.

Keep running away.

Trust me now.

My heart fills up as if I’m running out of breath.

So I can fill it up (so I can).

You give me purpose.

As days pass and things pile up, my feelings grow even bigger.

I don’t wanna waste any more time.

I’ll run for you.

I’m ready to love, tell me, can we stay together?

I’m crazy in love with you, keeping my heart close to you forever.

Run away from the world’s opposition.

Hold my hand.

Keep running away.

Trust me now.

My heart fills up as if I’m running out of breath.

So I can fill it up (so I can).

You give me purpose.

[Korean]

I’m ready to love, 내게 말해 줘 Can we stay together

I’m a fool of love for you, 내 맘을 네 곁에 Forever

널 만나 내 마음이 계속 더 자라서

우리 사이란 친구로는 모자라 난

처음 느낀 심장의 속도가

이리 빠른 줄 몰랐어

All I wanna do is run away

Cause you are my escape baby

Love has no limit 대답을 원해 Ay

I’m ready to love, 내게 말해 줘 Can we stay together

I’m a fool of love for you, 내 맘을 네 곁에 Forever

세상의 반대로 Run away

내 손을 잡아

계속 Run away

이제 날 믿어

숨이 차오를 듯이 내 맘 가득

채울 수 있게 (그럴 수 있게)

You give me purpose

Already know yeh

생각에 빠질 때 짓는 표정

네 기분을 푸는 Secret recipe

내 눈이 널 보는 순간

다 알고 있어

아무 말 하지 않아도

처음 느낀 심장의 속도가

이리 빠른 줄 몰랐어

All I wanna do is run away

Cause you are my escape baby

너만 준비가 되어 있으면 돼 Ay

I’m ready to love, 내게 말해 줘 Can we stay together

I’m a fool of love for you, 내 맘을 네 곁에 Forever

세상의 반대로 Run away

내 손을 잡아

계속 Run away

이제 날 믿어

숨이 차오를 듯이 내 맘 가득

채울 수 있게 (그럴 수 있게)

You give me purpose

하루하루 쌓여 갈수록, 내 감정도 더욱 커져가

더 이상은 I don’t wanna waste

널 위해 달릴게

I’m ready to love, 내게 말해 줘 Can we stay together

I’m a fool of love for you, 내 맘을 네 곁에 Forever

세상의 반대로 Run away

내 손을 잡아

계속 Run away

이제 날 믿어

숨이 차오를 듯이 내 맘 가득

채울 수 있게 (그럴 수 있게)

You give me purpose
