III. Korean
[Verse 1: Yeosang, San, Yunho, Seonghwa]
I don't know, can't describe
You and I, 다시 엉망이 돼가
Oh
전쟁 같아 오늘 밤도
굳어버린 눈빛 (Why you actin' like that?)
We feel like we've gone crazy (Why you so aggressive?)
뱉어내지 서로에게
씻지 못할 날카로운 말
[Pre-Chorus: San, Yeosang]
눈을 가리지 이기심이
마치 사랑한 적 없단 듯이
후회할 걸 알면서
Yeah, we know
매번 똑같아, 마치 마치, oh, waltz 같아 (Waltz 같아)
돌고 또 돌아 또 제자리에 (제자리에)
끝나지 않는 이 음악에 맞춰 춤추네
전쟁 같은 우리 love song
Hey, you be quiet, 부탁이야
Don't say a word, just surrender
왜 화가 나 있어? 맞출수록 더
어긋나는 걸 나도 미치겠어
어떻게 해야 될지도 모르겠어
이 지독한 사랑은 우리를 찢고 붙여놔
끝없는 굴레에서 벗어나지 못하고
곁을 맴돌고 있어
[Pre-Chorus: Seonghwa, Yeosang, Jongho]
눈을 가리지 이기심이 (이기심이)
마치 사랑한 적 없단 듯이 (Ooh)
후회할 걸 알면서
Yeah, we know
[Chorus: Wooyoung, Jongho]
매번 똑같아, 마치 마치, oh, waltz 같아 (Waltz 같아)
돌고 또 돌아 또 제자리에 (제자리에)
끝나지 않는 이 음악에 맞춰 춤추네
전쟁 같은 우리 love song
Yeah, 아무것도 아니란 듯
그저 우리는 춤을 추며 밤을 보내고 (Woo)
Yeah, 억지스러운 손짓에 뻔한 춤사위
다음 step은 무의미한걸
Yeah, 달아오를 것 하나 없어
이 무도회는 무미건조
Yeah, 맹목적으로 오늘도 또 반복해
매번 똑같아 우리만의
[Chorus: Wooyoung, Yunho, Jongho]
마치 마치, oh, waltz 같아 (Waltz 같아)
돌고 또 돌아 또 제자리에 (Oh, yeah, 제자리에)
끝나지 않는 이 음악에 맞춰 춤추네
전쟁 같은 우리 love song (Song)
[Outro: Jongho]
Oh-oh, oh, yeah
Oh-oh (Yeah)

IIIII. English
[Verse 1: Yeosang, San, Yunho, Seonghwa]
I don’t know, can’t describe
You and I, falling apart again
Oh
Tonight feels like a war
Eyes frozen (Why you actin' like that?)
We feel like we've gone crazy (Why you so aggressive?)
Throwing out to each other
Sharp words that can't be erased
[Pre-Chorus: San, Yeosang]
Blinded by selfishness
As if we never loved each other
Even though we know we’ll regret it
Yeah, we know
[Chorus: Wooyoung, Jongho]
It’s the same every time, like, like, oh, like a waltz (Like a waltz)
Going round and round, back to where we started (Back to where we started)
Dancing to this endless music
Our love song, like a war
[Verse 2: Mingi]
Hey, you be quiet, I’m begging you
Don’t say a word, just surrender
Why are you angry? The more we try to fit together
The more we fall apart, I’m going crazy too
I don’t know what to do
This toxic love tears us apart and puts us back together
We can’t escape this endless cycle
Just circling around each other
[Pre-Chorus: Seonghwa, Yeosang, Jongho]
Blinded by selfishness (Selfishness)
As if we never loved each other (Ooh)
Even though we know we’ll regret it
Yeah, we know
[Chorus: Wooyoung, Jongho]
It’s the same every time, like, like, oh, like a waltz (Like a waltz)
Going round and round, back to where we started (Back to where we started)
Dancing to this endless music
Our love song, like a war
[Verse 3: Hongjoong, Jongho]
Yeah, as if it means nothing
We just dance through the night (Woo)
Yeah, with forced gestures, predictable moves
The next step feels meaningless
Yeah, there’s nothing left to ignite
This dance hall is so dry
Yeah, blindly repeating the same thing today
The same every time, our own
[Chorus: Wooyoung, Yunho, Jongho]
Like, like, oh, like a waltz (Like a waltz)
Going round and round, back to where we started (Oh, yeah, back to where we started)
Dancing to this endless music
Our love song, like a war (Song)
[Outro: Jongho]
Oh-oh, oh, yeah
Oh-oh (Yeah)
