If I
Ben Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

그날 차가 안 밀렸다면
아마 난 화가 안 났을 테고
그럼 네가 했던 질문에
난 퉁명스럽지 않게 대답했을지 몰라
기억도 잘 안 나 뭣 땜에 네가 별로였는지
별로라고 믿고 싶었는지
그날만 아녔다면 그랬더라면
우린 아무렇지 않게 집으로 돌아가서
서로의 꿈에 잠들었을 텐데
그 다음 날에도 그 다음 다음 날에도
세상은 무너지지 않았을지도 몰라 if I, if I

널 10분이라도 보려고
그 높은 계단을 뛰고 걷던 나
뭐 첨엔 그래 별게 다 좋았지
내겐 보석 같던 날들이
유리처럼 깨져버렸단 게 여전히 후회가 돼
그날만 아니었다면

우린 아무렇지 않게 집으로 돌아가서
서로의 꿈에 잠들었을 텐데
그 다음 날에도 그 다음 다음 날에도
세상은 무너지지 않았을지도 몰라

If we hadn't met that day 우린 왜
왜 하필 우리는 점보다 못한 것들로

(Huh ah) 다시 아무렇지 않게 너에게 돌아가서
서로의 품에 잠들고 싶은데
그 다음 날에도 그 다음 다음 날에도
너만은 내 옆에 있어 줄 수 없었을까

If I, if I (그날 밤 내가 널 만나지 않았다면)
If I, if I, if I (그날만 하루만 만나지 않았다면)

그날 하루만 덜 보고 싶었더라면




너와 난 헤어지지 않았을지도 몰라
If I, if I

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ben (벤)'s song "그날 차가 안 밀렸다면" tell the story of regret and what could have been if certain things had not happened. The song reflects on a specific day where the singer's car didn't break down, which leads to a series of events that they wish had turned out differently. The lyrics suggest that if the car didn't break down, the singer wouldn't have been angry, and they would have responded to a question without being abrupt. The memory of what went wrong that day is hazy, and the singer wonders if they believed that the other person wasn't that special or if they wanted to believe it. They express their regret for how things turned out and how different it could have been if that one day had been different.


The second verse imagines an alternate reality where everything went smoothly after returning home together. They could have fallen asleep dreaming about their respective dreams, and the world may not have crumbled in the following days. The singer reflects on a moment when they ran up and down the stairs just to catch a glimpse of the other person, initially appreciating every little thing. However, those precious moments shattered like glass, and the singer still regrets it. They imagine a different outcome where they could have gone back to the other person's embrace, but it didn't happen, and the regret lingers.
