[Verse 1]
Where I am?
눈을 감으면
잊혀진 바다가 돼
무겁게
가라앉고만 싶을 때
너는 달빛처럼 다가와 말을 건네
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm so up and down that I can't stop (Oh-oh)
대답 없는 질문 가득해져
아주 당연했던 감각, oh
잊어버린 것만 같아, oh
I've been searching for another meaning
마주칠 수 있을까
[Chorus]
When I'm falling down, down, down
You always save me
내 맘 다 알아준 온기
감싸오는 너의 숨이
나를 눈뜨게 하지
길을 잃은 별처럼
헤매는 매일
다정히 이끄는 손길
너를 따라 다시 dreaming
네가 있어, now, I'm breathing
[Verse 2]
내 안에
감추고 외면했던
웅크린 나를 마주해
Feel like I'm about to drown
I'm not breathing, 점점 더
천천히 날 조여와
결국 내가 나를 bring me down
망상들로 숨 쉴 줄만 알아서
I'm in the deep end
칠흑같이 어두워 can you find me?
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm so up and down that I can't stop
(I won't never stop, I won't give you up)
길을 찾지 못해 불안해져
같은 꿈을 꾸던 순간, oh
잃어버린 것만 같아, oh
I've been searching for another meaning
나아갈 수 있을까
[Chorus]
When I'm falling down, down, down
You always save me
내 맘 다 알아준 온기
감싸오는 너의 숨이
나를 눈뜨게 하지
길을 잃은 별처럼
헤매는 매일
다정히 이끄는 손길
너를 따라 다시 dreaming
네가 있어, now I'm breathing
[Bridge]
맘이 다 부서지고
숨이 차 도망쳤을 때
말도 없이 옆에 서서
기다려준 너를 알아 난
아득한 방황의 끝에
돌아갈 you're my last chance
I don't have any air without you
I know I'm no good without you
Baby, can you stay all night?
[Verse 3]
Yeah, you know
I'm always drinking beer
Before I meet you, still shaking me (Stupid cupid)
오늘도 난 너를 보다가, where's my time?
다른 건 다 필요 없다 오직 하나 please more
Brеathing 숨을 들이마셔
Think about you
어둠 속에 나를 비춘 너와 손을 뻗어 잡고
느껴지는 따스한 온기 속 원하는 답을 찾아 더 깊이
Dive in, dive in, 우리들의 여정을 계속해 (Oh, woah)
[Chorus]
When I'm falling down, down, down
You always savе me
내 맘 다 알아준 온기 (네 온기)
감싸오는 너의 숨이
나를 눈뜨게 하지
길을 잃은 별처럼 (내 곁에)
헤매는 매일
다정히 이끄는 손길
너를 따라 다시 dreaming
네가 있어, now I'm breathing
[Outro]
두 눈을 뜨면
긴긴밤의 끝자리
따스해
마주 잡은 손 느낄 때
And my heart starts beating

IIIII. English
Where am I?
When I close my eyes
It becomes a forgotten sea
When I just want to settle down heavily
You approach me like the moonlight and talk to me
[Pre-Chorus: Jeno, Jisung, Haechan]
I'm so up and down that I can't stop (Oh-oh)
I am full of unanswered questions
The very natural sense, oh
I feel like I am forgetting, oh
I've been searching for another meaning
Will we be able to see each other?
[Chorus: All]
When I'm falling down, down, down
You always save me
The warmth that knew my feelings
Your breath that embraced me
It opened my eyes
Like a lost star
Every day I wander around
Your friendly hand
Following you, I am dreaming once again
Now because you are here, I'm breathing
[Verse 2: Haechan, Mark, Jeno]
Inside me
I'm facing myself, crouching down
The me that I have hidden and turned away
Feel like I'm about to drown
I'm not breathing more and more
Slowly tightening up on me
In the end, it is I who brought me down
I only know how to breathe with delusions
I'm in the deep end
It's pitch black, can you find me?
[Pre-Chorus: Jaemin & Jisung, Jeno, Renjun]
I'm so up and down that I can't stop
(I won't never stop, I won't give you up)
I'm nervous that I can't find my way
The moment we had the same dream, oh
I feel like I've lost it, oh
I’ve been searching for another meaning
Will I be able to move on? (I)
[Chorus: All]
When I’m falling down down down
You always save me
The warmth that knew my feelings
Your breath that embraced me
It opened my eyes
Like a lost star
Every day I wander around
Your friendly hand
Following you, I am dreaming once again
Now because you are here, I'm breathing
[Bridge: Chenle, Renjun, Haechan, Mark]
When I broke my heart
When I ran out of breath
I know you've been waiting for me
Standing next to me without saying a word
At the end of a distant wandering
You're my last chance to go back
I don't have any air without you
I know I'm no good without you
Baby, can you stay all night?
[Verse 3: Jisung, Jaemin]
Yeah, you know
I'm always drinking beer
Before I meet you, still shaking me (Stupid Cupid)
Seeing you, I think, Where's my time?
I don't need anything else please more
Breathing, inhaling all the air
Think about you
I reach out and hold you, who shined on me in the darkness
Go deeper and find the answer I want in the warmth I feel
Dive in, dive in, continue our journey
(Oh, woah)
[Chorus: All]
When I’m falling down down down
You always save me
The warmth that knew my feelings (Your warmth)
Your breath that embraced me
It opened my eyes
Like a lost star
Every day I wander around (Next to you)
Your friendly hand
Following you, I am dreaming once again
Now because you are here, I'm breathing
[Outro: Renjun, Chenle]
Here I am
When I open my eyes
I am at the end of a long night
It's warm when I feel our hands holding each other's
And my heart starts beating
