다가가면 뒤돌아 뛰어가고
쳐다보면 하늘만 바라 보고
내 맘을 모르는지
알면서 그러는지
시간만 자꾸 자꾸 흘러가네

스쳐가듯 내 곁을 지나가도
돌아서서 모른 척 하려해도

내 마음에 강물처럼
흘러가는 그대는 무지갠가

뛰어 갈 텐데 훨훨 날아 갈 텐데
그대 내 맘에 들어 오면은
아이처럼 뛰어가지 않아도
나비 따라 떠나가지 않아도
그렇게 오래오래
그대 곁에 남아서
강물처럼 그대 곁에 흐르리

뛰어 갈 텐데 훨훨 날아 갈 텐데
그대 내 맘에 들어 오면은

스쳐가듯 내 곁을 지나가도
돌아서서 모른 척 하려 해도
내 마음에 강물처럼
흘러가는 그대는 무지갠가

뛰어 갈 텐데 훨훨 날아 갈 텐데
그대 내 맘에 들어 오면은
아이처럼 뛰어가지 않아도
나비 따라 떠나가지 않아도
그렇게 오래오래
그대 곁에 남아서
강물처럼 그대 곁에 흐르리

뛰어 갈 텐데 날아 갈 텐데
그대 내 맘에 들어 오면은

뛰어 갈 텐데 날아 갈 텐데
그대 내 맘에 들어 오면은

Overall Meaning

The lyrics for Hwa Sa's "When You Come to My Heart" describe the internal struggle of someone who is attracted to another person, but cannot seem to get close to them. They observe the person from afar, only to have them turn away and disappear when they try to approach. The singer wonders if the object of their affection knows how they feel, but continues to act oblivious to their presence. Despite the passing of time, the singer cannot help but think of this person and their unrequited feelings, represented by the metaphor of a river flowing endlessly.

The chorus expresses the singer's desire for the person to come into their heart, even if they don't have to chase after them like a child chasing a butterfly. The metaphor of the river is revisited, with the singer hoping that the person they desire will stay with them for a long time, like a river flowing next to them.

The song captures the feeling of being in love with someone who is just out of reach, but the singer remains hopeful that their feelings will be reciprocated in the end.
