    [Verse 1]


    서로를 닮아 기울어진 삶

    Seororeul dalma giureojin sam

    Our lives have tilted as we started resembling each other


    소원을 담아 차오르는 달

    Soweoneul dama chaoreuneun dal

    The moon is getting filled up with our wishes


    하려다 만 괄호 속의 말

    Haryeoda man gwalho soge mal

    There are unfinished words inside the parentheses


    이제야 음 음 음

    Ijeya eum eum eum

    And now finally, mm mm mm


    [Verse 2]


    어디도 닿지 않는 나의 닻

    Eodido dachi anneun naye dat

    My anchor wasn't reaching anywhere


    넌 영원히 도착할 수 없는 섬 같아

    Neon yeongweoni dochakhal su eomneun seom gata

    You were like an island I could never go to


    헤매던 날

    Hemaedeon nal

    I was lost


    이제야 음 음 음

    Ijeya eum eum eum

    But now finally, mm mm mm


    [Pre-Chorus]


    기록하지 않아도

    Girokhaji anado

    If if this doesn't get recorded


    내가 널 전부 기억할 테니까

    Naega neol jeonbu gieokhal tenilkka

    I will remember everything


    [Chorus]


    기다려

    Gidaryeo

    Just wait


    기어이 우리가 만나면,

    Gieoi uriga mannamyeon,

    When we finally meet


    시간의 테두리 바깥에서

    Shigane teduri bakkateseo

    If we can stand outside the borders of time


    과거를 밟지 않고 선다면

    Gwageoreul babji anko seondamyeon

    Without stepping on the past


    숨이 차게 춤을 추겠어

    Sumi chage chumeul chugesseo

    I will dance till I run out of breath


    [Verse 3]


    낮에도 밝지 않은 나의 밖

    Najedo bakji aneun naye bakk

    Even during the day, my outside wasn't bright


    끝없는 밤 남겨진 반

    Kkeuteomneun bam namgyeojin ban

    The other half was the endless night


    넌 어떨까 나와 같을까

    Neon eotteokka nawa gateulkka

    How about you? Are you the same as me?


    알 수 없음에 아파지던 맘

    Al su eopseume apajideon mam

    My heart ached from not knowing


    [Verse 4]


    더 멀리 자유 그 위로 가자

    Deo meolli jayu geu wiro gaja

    Let's go faraway for our freedom


    내일이 우릴 찾지 못할

    Naeiri uril chajji mothal

    In a place where tomorrow can't find us


    곳에서 기쁘게 만나

    Goseseo gippeuge manna

    Let's happily meet


    [Pre-Chorus]


    이제야 한눈에 찾지 못해도 돼

    Ijeya hannune chajji mothaedo dwae

    You don't need to find me right away


    내가 널 알아볼 테니까

    Naega neol arabol tenilkka

    Because I will recognize you


    [Chorus]


    기다려

    Gidaryeo

    Just wait


    기어이 우리가 만나면,

    Gieoi uriga mannamyeon,

    When we finally meet


    시간의 테두리 바깥에서

    Shigane teduri bakkateseo

    If we can stand outside the borders of time


    과거를 밟지 않고 선다면

    Gwageoreul babji anko seondamyeon

    Without stepping on the past


    숨이 차게 춤을 추겠어

    Sumi chage chumeul chugesseo

    I will dance till I run out of breath


    [Bridge]


    드디어

    Deudieo

    Finally


    기다림의 이유를 만나러

    Gidarime iyureul mannareo

    I'm on my way to meet the reason of my wait


    꿈결에도 잊지 않았던

    Kkumgyeoredo ijji anatteon

    I haven't forgotten, even in my dreams


    잠결에도 잊을 수 없었던

    Jamgyeoredo ijeul su eopseotteon

    I couldn't forget, even in my sleep


    너의 이름을 불러 줄게

    Neoye ireumeul bulleo julge

    I will call out your name


    [Chorus]


    기다려

    Gidaryeo

    Just wait


    잃어버렸던 널 되찾으러

    Ireobeoryeotteon neol doechajeureo

    I'm going to find you, who I lost


    엉키었던 시간을 견디어

    Eongkieotteon shiganeul gyeondieo

    Enduring through the tangled time


    미래를 쫓지 않을 두 발로

    Miraereul jjocchi aneul du ballo

    With my feet that won't chase after the future


    숨이 차게 달려가겠어

    Sumi chage dallyeogagesseo

    I will run till I run out of breath


    [Post-Chorus]


    긴긴 서사를 거쳐

    Gingin seosareul geochyeo

    After this long, long narrative


    비로소 첫 줄로 적혀

    Biroso cheot jullo jeokhyeo

    This will be written as the first line


    나 두려움 따윈 없어

    Na duryeoum ttawin eopseo

    Fear is nothing to me


    [Outro]


    서로를 감아 포개어진 삶

    Seororeul gama pogaeeojin sam

    Our lives have overlapped with each other


    그들을 가만 내려보는 달

    Geudeureul gaman naeryeoboneun dal

    The moon is quietly looking down on us


    여전히 많아 하고 싶은 말

    Yeojeoni mana hago shipeun mal

    There is still so much I want to tell you


    우리 좀 꼭 하나 같아

    Uri jom bwa kkok hana gata

    Look at us, it's like we're one
