여자친구 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

아른아른거리는 너와의 기억 속에
난 언제나 웃고 있어요
추억이 될지 몰라 불안한 마음 많아도
늘 잡아주는 너야

계절이 바뀌고 다른 곳에 있어도
우리 둘 마음만은 달라지지 않아
늘 이렇게 내 옆에

두 눈을 감으면 펼쳐지는 그 세상엔
우리가 만들어놓은 starry sky
너와 내 믿음 사이 가득 차오른 기쁨
난 느껴 우린 영원할 거란 걸

매일매일 새로워 너와의 시간은 늘
날 항상 웃게 만드는 너
완벽하지 않아도 내겐 제일 특별해
가장 소중한 사람

아직 모를 미래에 두려움이 올 때도
항상 내 손 잡고서 웃어주는 너
늘 이렇게 내 편에

두 눈을 감으면 펼쳐지는 그 세상엔
우리가 만들어놓은 starry sky
너와 내 믿음 사이 가득 차오른 기쁨
난 느껴 우린 영원할 거란 걸 oh

사랑에 서툴던 우린
어느새 많이 닮아 있어
너의 어떤 모습이라도
난 지금처럼 사랑할게 널

두 눈을 감으면 펼쳐지는 먼 미래엔 (미래엔)

여전히 함께인 우리가 보여
너와 내 믿음 사이 가득 차오른 기쁨
난 느껴 우린 영원할 거란 걸
