[English]

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

또 너는 ask me

무슨 생각을 하고 있는지

Not my business

나도 날 몰라, 내 마음 따라, playing

좋긴 좋은데, love or like?

숨었다가도 나타나, yeah, yeah, yeah

맞고 틀린 게 어딨지

Cheshire처럼, it's alright

자꾸 물어보면 boring

뭐든 내 맘대로, play a trick (play a trick)

정해진 답은 없어 (you want to know)

원한다면 힌틀 줄게, 나머진 free 하게 날

네 마음속에 풀어놔 줘, la-la-la-la-la

Hey, why so serious?

보이는 것 그대로 날 믿어봐 (hey)

어렵게 생각 마

Nothing's wrong, right? (Can you see me?)

Hey, why so curious?

머리 말고 네 느낌을 믿어봐 (hey)

심각해지지 마

Anything's right (la-la-la-la-la)

내 미소는 이상하지

그래도, 너는 like me (yeah, I feel so free)

눈 감음 사라지지

미소는 남겨둘게

어둠 속에, 반짝인 eyes

누군간 날 조명 삼아

길을 찾아낼 지도, I wanna go

봐-봐, 봐-봐, 잘 찾아봐 (yeah, yeah)

Follow, 이제 다음 story

여전히 너는 wondering (wondering)

그런 표정, la-la-la-la-la

Hey, why so serious?

보이는 것 그대로 날 믿어봐 (hey)

어렵게 생각 마

Nothing's wrong, right? (Can you see me?)

Hey, why so curious?

머리 말고 네 느낌을 믿어봐 (hey)

심각해지지 마

Anything's right, la-la-la-la-la (hey, hey, hey, hey)

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, why so serious? (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, why so curious?

내 뒤에 가려진

내 맘 사실 나도 몰라 what I want (oh)

대체 왜 그게 중요해?

We're gonna do it, right? (Will you join me?)

네 앞에 펼쳐진

이 순간을 즐기면 돼 이대로 (hey)

Nothing's wrong, nothing's right

La-la-la-la-la (hey, hey, hey, hey)

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, why so serious? (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, why so curious?

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
