[English]

I had to catch my breath, saw you walking past

Didn't know someone could turn my world around like that

You took a piece of me, it all happened so fast

I can't stop it

And I can't survive

Yeah I swear I tried

But I'm up all night and I don't know what to do

How can I breathe the same after you

Oh I'll swim through ocean eyes tryna get to you

I'll never be the same after you

I'll never be the same after you

After you

(After you)

I want the direction you're walking to be the same as mine

My clumsy first words are awkward and uncool

No matter when it happens, this is different, it's a love affair

Oh yeah, for real, just like this

These perfect emotions are a metaphor

Let's create our own anecdote

Make my heart beat faster, just like when I was nineteen

Our eyes meet

Sparks fly just like in a comic book

A fiery battle of nerves

And I'm just standing here, fidgeting yeah

And I can't survive

Yeah I swear I tried

But I'm up all night and I don't know what to do

How can I breathe the same after you

Oh I'll swim through ocean eyes tryna get to you

I'll never be the same after you

After you

(After you)

Before you, I was lost inside the dark

Nowhere to move

Every day in the same scene, the same routine

I had no clue

After you, I'm addicted to

The déjà vu in my head

Every road I'm running through

You changed my view

Got me chasing after you

Chasing after you

Chasing after you

So I'm up all night and I don't know what to do

How can I breathe the same after you

Oh I'd swim through ocean eyes tryna get to you

I'll never be the same after you

...

[Korean]

I had to catch my breath, saw you walking past

Didn't know someone could turn my world around like that

You took a piece of me, it all happened so fast

멈출 수 없어

And I can't survive

Yeah I swear I tried

But I'm up all night and I don't know what to do

How can I breathe the same after you

Oh I'll swim through ocean eyes tryna get to you

I'll never be the same after you

I'll never be the same after you

After you

(After you)

원해 너의 걸음의 방향이 나와 같기를

서툰 내 첫마디는 멋없이 어색해

어떤 때 와도 달라 이건 love affair

Oh yeah for real 이대로도

완벽한 감정들이 metaphor

만들어 가자고 anecdote

좀 더 뛰게 해줘 nineteen 때처럼

마주치지 눈과 눈 사이

만화처럼 spark 튄다

불같은 눈치의 싸움

두 발만 동동 구르는구나 yeah

And I can't survive

Yeah I swear I tried

But I'm up all night and I don't know what to do

How can I breathe the same after you

Oh I'll swim through ocean eyes tryna get to you

I'll never be the same after you

After you

(After you)

Before you, I was lost inside the dark

Nowhere to move

매일 같은 scene 같은 일상 속에

I had no clue

After you, I'm addicted to

머릿속의 déjà vu

Every road I'm running through

You changed my view

Got me chasing after you

Chasing after you

Chasing after you

So I'm up all night and I don't know what to do

How can I breathe the same after you

Oh I'd swim through ocean eyes tryna get to you

I'll never be the same after you
