BTOB Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

살아간다는 생각에 잠겨있는 동안
내가 잃어버린 건 whoa
이젠 너무 아득하게만 느껴지는 걸
추억을 더듬어봐도

아직 모두 다 여전한 건지
그때 우리 참 많이 다퉜지 oh
잊지 못해 모든 게 변한 대도

내 삶이 끝날 때 곁에 있는 건

우린 몰랐을지 몰라 살아가는 동안
조금씩 가까워지던 우리 어느새 자라서
굳이 안녕이란 말도 필요 없을 것 같아
벅찬 이 세상에 I need you

F-R-I-E-N-D-S
지겹도록 오래된
I know I love my best friends
몇 명이면 난 족해
I said F-R-I-E-N-D friend
난 볼 거야 평생
벅찬 이 세상에서 I need you

You're my B-E to the S-T (best), F-R-I-E-N-D (friend)
어쩌면 가족보다 나를 더 잘 알 수 있지 (maybe)
다른 표현으로 말하면 (what, what)
You're my brother from another mother, sister from another mister
피는 안 섞였지만 별다를 건 없어
Got each other's backs, no matter what happens
When I'm down, when I'm up 어떤 상황이어도
내가 확실한 건 I can always count on ya

우린 몰랐을지 몰라 살아가는 동안
조금씩 가까워지던 우리 어느새 자라서
굳이 안녕이란 말도 필요 없을 것 같아
벅찬 이 세상에 I need you

작은 꿈에서 비롯된 그날을 생생히 기억해
별이 되고 싶었던 아이 우연한 어떤 날
시간의 파도를 타고 떠나
너와 나의 드라마 엔딩은 없어 잘 봐
We'll make it alright 그래 살아가는 동안
넌 누구보다 빛나 이제 내 손을 잡아

우린 몰랐을지 몰라 살아가는 동안
조금씩 가까워지던 우리 어느새 자라서
굳이 안녕이란 말도 필요 없을 것 같아
벅찬 이 세상에 I need you

F-R-I-E-N-D-S
지겹도록 오래된
I know I love my best friends
몇 명이면 난 족해
I said F-R-I-E-N-D friend

난 볼 거야 평생
벅찬 이 세상에서 I need you

살아간다는 생각에 잠겨있는 동안
While I'm trapped in the thought of just surviving

내가 잃어버린 건 whoa
I've lost something, whoa

이젠 너무 아득하게만 느껴지는 걸
Now it feels too distant

추억을 더듬어봐도
Even when I try to remember

아직 모두 다 여전한 건지
Are we still the same as before?

그때 우리 참 많이 다퉜지 oh
Back then, we fought a lot, oh

잊지 못해 모든 게 변한 대도
Even though everything has changed, I can't forget

내 삶이 끝날 때 곁에 있는 건
What will be by my side when my life ends?

우린 몰랐을지 몰라 살아가는 동안
Maybe we didn't know while we were living

조금씩 가까워지던 우리 어느새 자라서
We grew and got closer without realizing

굳이 안녕이란 말도 필요 없을 것 같아
I don't think we need to say goodbye
