감춰놓은 비밀이 있어
어디서 어떻게 시작된 건지
기억 못해도 너를 향해있어
너도 나와 같은
생각을 하고 있는지
그게 제일 궁금해 지금도 난
사랑인 듯 아닌 듯
헷갈려 한다면
지금 나를 안아줘 고민없이
가슴이 뛴다면 사랑이 맞아
그땐 고백해줄래
니 곁에 니 옆에 내가 있는데
왜 넌 모른 척 나를 피해가니
들켜버릴까봐
가슴을 치고 있었어
두근거리는 이 심장소리
사랑인 듯 아닌 듯
헷갈려 한다면 지금
나를 안아줘 고민없이
가슴이 뛴다면 사랑이 맞아
그땐 고백해줄래
우리 서로 멀리 돌아온
만큼 널 사랑하고 싶은데
저 파란 하늘 위로
내 마음을 고백해볼까
숨겨왔던 내 사랑을 I love you
사랑인 듯 아닌 듯 헷갈려
한다면 지금 나를 안아줘 고민없이
가슴이 뛴다면
사랑이 맞아 그땐 고백해줄래
너도 바로 나라고
Baek A Yeon's song "A Lot Like Love" is a heartfelt expression of unrequited love. The lyrics speak to the singer's struggle to express their true feelings to the person they love. The song opens with the singer admitting that they have a secret, hidden away and unspoken. Despite not remembering how their love started, the singer knows that their feelings are still directed towards the person they love. The chorus speaks to the singer's confusion, as they express their uncertainty as to whether their feelings are love or just a passing infatuation. Regardless of this confusion, the singer begs to be held if the other person's heart beats in response to theirs, and promises to confess their love if the feeling is mutual.
The second verse speaks to the singer's pain at being ignored by the person they love. Despite being right by their side, the person continues to avoid them and not acknowledge their love. Continuing the theme of the chorus, the singer expresses their desire to be held and declares that their heart races at the thought of a mutual love. The bridge speaks to the distance that has arisen between the two, but expresses the singer's resolve to confess their love for the person by declaring it to the sky above. The song ends with a plea to be embraced, and the promise that if the feeling is returned, the singer will confess their love without hesitation.
