Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation

I couldn't save us in time

I don't do good by myself

I should have you by my side

내 안에 깊게 커져간 틈새

nae an-e gip-ge keo-jyeo-gan teum-sae

싸늘한 밤

ssa-neul-han bam

한순간 날 휘몰아친 고요한 소란

han-sun-gan nal hwi-mol-a-chin go-yo-han so-ran

눈을 감고 breathe

nun-eul gam-go breathe

Running all the way

All the way to your mind

Something wakes me up

Something's in the water

Staring me down

(Staring me down)

나를 닮은 eyes

na-reul dal-eun eyes

내게 말을 걸어

nae-ge mal-eul geol-eo

"Take me in"

Oh

Bad thoughts that mirror myself

Wake me up outside this hell

(Hell)

어긋난 숨소리

eo-geus-nan sum-so-ri

헤어날 수 없는 nightmare

he-eo-nal su eop-neun nightmare

어서 눈떠야 해

eo-seo nun-tteo-ya hae

왜 아직 여기에 나 홀로 멈춘 채

wae a-jik yeo-gi-e na hol-ro meom-chun chae

뭘 찾아 헤매는 건지

mwol chat-a he-mae-neun geon-ji

뒤엉킨 물살에 아득히 잠겨

dwi-eong-kin mul-sal-e a-deuk-hi jam-gyeo

'Cause

Something wakes me up

Something's in the water

Staring me down

(Staring me down)

나를 닮은 eyes

na-reul dal-eun eyes

내게 말을 걸어

nae-ge mal-eul geol-eo

"Take me in"

Ohh

Ohhh
