Take Two

Will you stay?

흘러가는 저 시간
I want to stop

잡아두고 싶어 with me
the time flowing by, with me

Will you go?

어떤 얼굴을 하고 서 있을까
What kind of expression will I be standing with?

이젠 기억나지 않는 새벽들
The early mornings that I don’t remember now

Say

Oh I’m runnin' round in a daze

We been walkin' so many ways

가슴이 터질 것 같아
Feel like my heart’s about to burst

Can’t you see the take two

Stories unfolding just for you

너와 함께하는 청춘
My youth with you

지금 내 손을 잡아
Hold my hand now

Yeah we never felt so young

When together sing the song

서로의 눈 맞추며
Looking into each other’s eyes

어둠 속에도
Even in the dark

Yeah we never felt so right

When I got you by my side

함께 걷던 길 따라
On the path we’ve walked together

Oh we young forever

사막도 바다가 돼서 we swim forever
Desert became the sea*, we swim forever

외로워했던 고래도 이젠 singing together
Even the lonely whale*² is now singing together

함께니깐, 영원을 바래도 무섭지 않아
Because we’re together, I’m not afraid to wish for eternity*³

내 믿음은 너고 하나뿐인 이유니깐
You are what I believe in, and my one and only reason

You’re my silver lining

You the one who just light me up

Oh I can always feel you beside me

노을이 빌딩에 부딪쳐
The sunset bumps into the building

우린 이렇게 서로에 주어져
This is how we’re given to each other

Say

Oh I’m runnin' round in a daze

We been walkin' so many ways

널 품에 터질 듯 안아
I hug you so tight you might burst

Can’t you see the take two

Letters I didn’t send to you

너와 함께하는 청춘
My youth with you

시작일지도 몰라
This could even be the start

Yeah we never felt so young

When together sing the song

서로의 눈 맞추며
Looking into each others’ eyes

어둠 속에도
Even in the dark

Yeah we never felt so right

When I got you by my side

함께 걷던 길 따라
On the path we’ve walked together

Oh we young forever

당신과 함께해서 가능했고
It was possible because I was with you

당신과 함께여서 행복했어
I was happy because I was with you

당신의 목소리에 숨을 쉬고
I breathed to the sound of your voice

당신의 눈물들로 일어섰어
And rose up at your tears

당신들의 과분한 사랑을
Am I worthy

내가 받을 자격 있을까
of the love you so generously give?

수년간 우리가 만든 영혼의 교집합
The intersection of our souls that we spent years making

함께여서 너무 고맙고 행복합니다
I’m so grateful and happy that we’re together

부디 앞으로도 행복합시다
Let’s continue to be happy in the future

Yeah we never felt so young

When together sing the song

서로의 눈 맞추며
We look into each other’s eyes

비가 내려도
Even in the rain

Yeah we never felt so right

When I got you by my side

함께 맞던 별 따라
Following the stars that we were struck by together*⁴

Oh we young forever

이렇게 노래해
And so we sing

(We ain’t never felt so young)

Won’t you hold my hand

Yeah we never felt so right

Need you here tonight

(We ain’t never felt so young)

Oh we young forever

(Never felt so young)

Yeah

Never felt, never felt so young
