Runaway
Eric Nam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So let's runaway, runaway
모두가 잠든 밤
네 맘이 닿는 곳으로

잠이 안 오는 밤
내 머리 속에 넌 날 떠나질 않아

생각을 비워도
심장은 뛰고 밤새 뒤척여

네가 없는 밤은 외로워 나
너무 답답해 (hah yeh ya yeh yeh ya yeh)

인정 할 수 밖에 없어
내겐 너여야 만해 (hah yeh ya yeh yeh ya yeh)

So let's runaway, runaway
모두가 잠든 밤 네 맘이 닿는 곳으로
So let's runaway, runaway
아무도 모르는 우리 둘 만의 밤으로

Woo, we could go
We could stay
They'll never know

So let's runaway, runaway
아무도 모르는 우리 둘 만의 밤으로

어둔 밤 달 아래
아무도 없는 둘 만의 시간
아침이 오지 않음 좋겠어
이대로 조금 더

네가 없는 밤은 외로워 나
너무 답답해 (hah yeh ya yeh yeh ya yeh)

인정 할 수 밖에 없어
내겐 너여야 만해 (hah yeh ya yeh yeh ya yeh)

So let's runaway, runaway
모두가 잠든 밤 네 맘이 닿는 곳으로
So let's runaway, runaway
아무도 모르는 우리 둘 만의 밤으로

Woo, we could go
We could stay
They'll never know

So let's runaway, runaway
아무도 모르는 우리 둘 만의 밤으로





(Woo, woo)
