Stay Here
Gaho Lyrics

In the song "Stay Here" by Gaho, the lyrics talk about someone who yearns for the presence of their loved one. The first stanza talks about how if the time that has passed could come back, the singer would wait for their loved one who they think of often but finds it hard to bear. The second stanza talks about how they reject the idea of drifting apart from each other but know that they have to, even though it means they will have to spend an incredibly long time apart. The singer asks their loved one to reassure them that they believe in them and will stay by their side. In the bridge, the singer admits to their foolishness of valuing time over their loved ones and reveals their fear of being trapped in their own thoughts. The chorus repeats the same plea for the loved one to stay by their side and be there for them when they need it the most, including when they are hurt and in pain.

The lyrics are an expression of the longing for the presence of the loved one, while also acknowledging the reality of the situation. The lines "기다린 너를 보겠지" ("I'll see you, the one I've been waiting for) and "내 곁에 있어줘요" ("Stay by me") convey the yearning for the physical presence of the loved one. However, the lines "우린 서로 더 멀어져야 하겠지만" ("We must become further apart from each other") and "널 버리기 위해서" ("To leave you behind") recognize that sending the loved one away is inevitable for both of them. The lines "바보같이 시간을 보냈다고/네게 말해주고 싶어" ("I want to tell you how foolishly I spent my time with you") and "죽을만큼 싫은 걸" ("It's killing me") reveal the singer's regret for not valuing the time they had with the loved one and their fear of living without them.
