    [Verse 1]

    그러나 시간이 지나도 아물지 않는 일들이 있지

    geureona shigani jinado amulji anneun ildeuri itji

    But there are certain things that don't heal over time


    내가 날 온전히 사랑하지 못해서

    naega nal onjeonhi saranghaji mothaeseo

    Because I couldn't love myself wholly


    맘이 가난한 밤이야

    mami gananhan bamiya

    My heart is poor tonight


    [Pre-Chorus]

    거울 속에 마주친 얼굴이 어색해서

    geoul soge majuchin eolguri eosaekhaeseo

    The face in the mirror looks awkward


    습관처럼 조용히 눈을 감아

    seupgwancheoreom joyonghi nuneul gama

    So I close my eyes like a habit


    밤이 되면 서둘러 내일로 가고 싶어

    bami dwemyeon seodulleo naeillo gago shipeo

    When the night comes, I want to rush to tomorrow


    수많은 소원 아래

    sumaneun soweon arae

    A child dreaming different dreams


    매일 다른 꿈을 꾸던

    maeil dareun kkumeul kkudeon

    every day under countless wishes


    [Chorus]

    아이는 그렇게 오랜 시간 겨우 내가 되려고 아팠던 걸까

    aineun geureoke oraen shigan gyeou naega dweryeogo apatteon geolkka

    Did that child suffer in pain for such a long time to just become me?


    쌓이는 하루만큼 더 멀어져

    ssahineun harumankeum deo meoreojyeo

    We get further as another day piles up


    우리는 화해할 수 없을 것 같아

    urineun hwahaehal su eopseul geot gata

    I don't think we can ever reconcile


    나아지지 않을 것 같아

    naajiji aneul geot gata

    I don't think it'll get better


    [Verse 2]

    어린 날 내 맘엔 영원히

    eorin nal nae mamen yeongweonhi

    When I was a child


    가물지 않는 바다가 있었지

    gamulji anneun badaga isseotji

    There was a sea that never dried up in my heart


    이제는 흔적만이 남아 희미한 그곳엔

    ijeneun heunjeogmani nama himihan geugosen

    That place is only left with faint traces


    [Pre-Chorus]

    설렘으로 차오르던 나의 숨소리와

    seollemeuro chaoreudeon naye sumsoriwa

    My breaths that rose up with fluttering feelings


    머리 위로 선선히 부는 바람

    meori wiro seonseonhi buneun baram

    And the gentle wind above my head


    파도가 되어 어디로든 달려가고 싶어

    padoga dweeo eodirodeun dallyeogago shipeo

    I want to become a wave and run to anywhere


    작은 두려움 아래 천천히 두 눈을 뜨면

    jageun duryeoum arae cheoncheonhi du nuneul tteumyeon

    When I slowly open my eyes with the small fear


    [Chorus]

    세상은 그렇게 모든 순간

    sesangeun geureoke modeun sungan

    Every moment of the world comes to me


    내게로 와 눈부신 선물이 되고

    naegero wa nunbushin seonmuri dwego

    And becomes a dazzling gift


    숱하게 의심하던 나는 그제야

    suthage uishimhadeon naneun geujeya

    And me who doubted continuously


    나에게 대답할 수 있을 것 같아

    naege daedaphal su isseul geot gata

    Can finally answer to myself, I feel


    [Bridge]

    선 너머에 기억이 나를 부르고 있어

    seon neomeoe gieoki nareul bureugo isseo

    The memory from beyond the line is calling for me


    아주 오랜 시간 동안 잊고 있던 목소리에

    aju oraen shigan dongan ijgo itteon moksorie

    At the voice that I've forgotten for a long time


    물결을 거슬러 나 돌아가

    mulgyeoreul geoseulleo na doraga

    I move across the flow to go back


    내 안의 바다가 태어난 곳으로

    nae ane badaga taeeonan goseuro

    To the place where the sea inside me was born


    [Chorus]

    휩쓸려 길을 잃어도 자유로와

    hwipsseullyeo gireul ireodo jayurowa

    I'm free even when I'm swept away and get lost


    더이상 날 가두는

    deoisang nal gaduneun

    I won't close my eyes at the darkness


    어둠에 눈 감지 않아

    eodume nun gamji ana

    that traps me anymore


    두 번 다시 날 모른 척 하지 않아

    du beon dashi nal moreun cheok haji ana

    I won't pretend not to know myself again


    [Outro]

    그럼에도 여전히 가끔은

    geureomedo yeojeonhi gakkeumeun

    And yet, occasionally still


    삶에게 지는 날들도 있겠지

    salmege jineun naldeuldo itgetji

    I may lose to life again


    또다시 헤매일지라도 돌아오는 길을 알아

    ttodashi hemaeiljirado doraoneun gireul ara

    But even if I get lost again, I know the way back
