Press Your Number
태민 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
네 생각에 I'm feeling freaky
전화를 걸어봐도
여전히 답은 없고
맘은 급해져 널 찾아가
진하게 베인 널 떠올려
Then kiss your lips
날이 선 내 가슴이 수없이 만들어낸
이 긴 밤의 끝은 결국 너로 가득 차
이 손끝에 선명했던 체온
늘 따뜻했었던 그 작은 손
흐릿해진 기억을 잡고
애타는 맘이 너를 찾아 girl
다시 또 press your number
대답해 줘
지금 날 떠나도 잠깐뿐이라고
느껴져 들려줘 내 귓가에
다시 속삭여 줘
Press press press press (hey)
My favorite place
지금 굳게 닫힌 너의 red lips
Ooh 나를 떠난 너의 kiss
오랜 침묵 속에
괜한 혼잣말만 자꾸 늘어가
부르고 불러도 답은 줄어가
지금 너는 어디 있니
제발 내게 돌아와
꿀보다 달콤했던 네 숨결
날 간지럽히던 네 머릿결
멀어지는 기억을 붙잡아
애타는 맘이 너를 찾아 girl
다시 또 press your number
대답해 줘
지금 날 떠나도 잠깐뿐이라고
느껴져 들려줘 내 귓가에
다시 속삭여 줘
Press my number 대답해 줘
Do it fast do it slow
You control the tempo
느껴봐 들어봐 내 심장을 너에게 맞출게 press
늘 쉽게 생각한 이별이
왜 너와는 쉽지 않은 건지
언제 이토록 깊이 남았는지
Oh girl there's something about you
바래 바래 바래 ooh
다시 널 갖고 싶어
말해 말해 말해 밤새
너의 이름만을
바래 바래 바래 oh girl 네 맘이
나를 찾아오길 all I need is you
다시 또 press your number
대답해 줘
지금 날 떠나도 잠깐뿐이라고
느껴져 들려줘 내 귓가에 다시 속삭여 줘
Press my number 대답해 줘
Do it fast do it slow
You control the tempo
느껴봐 들어봐
Girl there's something about you
바래 바래 바래 ooh
다시 널 갖고 싶어
말해 말해 말해 밤새
너의 이름만을
바래 바래 바래 oh girl
네 맘이 나를 찾아오길
All I need is you
Just press it
The lyrics of "Press Your Number" by Taemin describe the singer feeling a sense of longing and desire for someone who has left them. The opening lines describe the singer waking up alone in the dark of night and feeling a compulsion to find the person they are thinking of. Despite trying to call, the person does not answer, and the singer's urgency to find them intensifies. They remember the feel of that person's body heat and their small hands, and their memories are becoming increasingly hazy.
The singer pleads with the absent person to answer their call and reassure them that their absence is only temporary. They reminisce about the sweetness of the person's breath and hair, and they desperately search for them with all the ardor in their heart. As the song progresses, it becomes increasingly clear that the singer desires the person to be physically present with them. The chorus urges the person to "press my number" and answer the singer's call - the person can control the speed at which they return, but the singer wants them back nonetheless. The final lines of the song are a final plea to the listener to answer the phone.
Overall, the lyrics express a sense of longing and yearning for someone who has left them - the person's absence is causing the singer emotional turmoil, and they are desperate for a response. The sense of physical desire underlying the lyrics suggests that the singer is not only emotionally attached to the person but also sexually attracted to them.

진하게 베인 널 떠올려
Thinking of you clearly
Then kiss your lips
Then I kiss your lips

수없이 만들어낸 이 긴 밤의 끝은 결국 너로 가득 차
The end of this long night that I've spent endless times is filled with you
이 손끝에 선명했던 체온

Even though I call and call, the replies keep decreasing
지금 너는 어디 있니 제발 내게 돌아와
Where are you right now? Please come back to me

How did it stay so deep for so long, oh girl there's something about you

Dear SM,
Taemin has released solo works since 2014 and has enough songs for a full concert. In fact, he is going to hold a Japan national tour. He is such an outstanding performer and everyone will agree that he has the charm and stage presence of Michael Jackson. There is no Kpop idol like him. Why then focus only on the Korea/Japan market when fans around the world including myself are eagerly anticipating for his solo concert? Why then are you keeping him away from doing a world tour? WHY?
We sincerely hope that you will consider giving him a solo WORLD tour.
Please announce a TAEMIN WORLD TOUR soon.
Yours faithfully,
Tm
