Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation

In the parking lot, in your homies drop top

Just a couple blocks from where we grew up

All those summer nights, we were riding blind

Going way too fast

Down the boulevard with the windows wound down

I went in the car, and we're getting real loud

All those stubborn nights with some bad advice

We were almost right

'Til we weren't

The radio still works

Locked into your frequency and this still hurts

I don't wanna live another day without you in the dark

Tried to ride alone, but I had no clue, 너 없인 난 hopeless

Tried to ride alone, but I had no clue, neo eop-in nan hopeless

Long drives don't feel the same without you in the dark

Green lights telling me to go and my GPS was broken, broken, broken

Oh (oh)

Oh (oh)

I don't meditate, so why you gotta take up hella space in my mind?

If love was real estate, 지켜보려 해, the words are gonna break over time

If love was real estate, ji-kyeo-bo-ryeo hae, the words are gonna break over time

Only then we knew, maybe we'd be cool

With the sweet and bitter taste, falling out of place, rolling with the waves

'Til we weren't

The radio still works

Locked into your frequency

And this still hurts

I don't wanna live another day without you in the dark

Tried to ride alone, but I had no clue, 너 없인 난 hopeless

Tried to ride alone, but I had no clue, neo eop-in nan hopeless

Long drives don't feel the same without you in the dark

Green light's telling me to go and my GPS was broken, broken, broken

Oh (oh)

Oh (oh)
