Mou naru hazu no nai anata kara no kooru wo
Kokoro no dokoka de matteta kamo
Anata ga inaku natte mousugu futatsume no kisetsu ga
Sugite yuku to iu no ni watashi wa mada dokoka de
Anata wo kitai shite iru no kana?
Omoi afure
Tada(!)
Watashi nari ni omotte iru no
Sono egao mo kenka shita koto mo
Ima wa mou maemuki ni nareta keredo
Futo shita toki wakatta ki ga shita
Subete imi ga arun da ne
Yukikau takusan no hitotachi mo
Kitto onaji you kana?
Deatte mata wakarete soredemo shinjite
Shiawase na mirai wo negatteru
Muzukashikute "shiawase" tte nayamu koto nante
Yama hodo aru
Kedo(!)
Watashi nari ni kakenuketa hibi ga
Daijoubu da yo tte senaka tataita
Tsuyogaru no mo naku no mo yameyou sore de
Sukoshi dakedo wakatta ki ga shita
Subete imi ni natte iku
Sou da yo ne?
Subete ga umaku ikanakutemo
Muda na koto wa kitto hitotsu mo nai
Watashi nari ni omotte iru no
Sono egao mo kenka shita koto mo
Ima wa mou maemuki ni nareta
Soshite... Kagayakitsuzukeru!
Watashi nari ni kakenuketa hibi ga
Daijoubu da yo tte senaka tataita
Tsuyogaru no mo naku no mo yameyou sore ga
Sukoshi dakedo wakatta ki ga shita
Subete imi ni natte iku
The song "Girl" by Younha tells the story of a girl who is trying to move on from a past relationship, but finds herself still holding on to the memories and feelings behind it. The first verse describes how she is holding onto a scarf that she received from her ex, even though she knows she shouldn't still care. She wonders if somewhere deep in her heart, she had still been waiting for him to come back. The second verse finds her reflecting on the fact that time has passed and the seasons have changed. She sees that she has grown, but still can't quite shake off the past. She thinks about how everyone she meets must also have their own similar experiences and wonders if they are all holding on to something as well. The chorus reassures her that she is okay and acknowledges that even the painful moments were a part of what has shaped her into who she is now.
The song paints a picture of someone who is struggling to find closure after a relationship has ended. The memories of what once was continue to interfere with her efforts to move forward. However, the song also provides comfort in the realization that all of the experiences she has gone through, both good and bad, have led her to where she is today. This message about the importance of personal growth and self-realization despite past hardships is a common theme in Younha's music.
