by your side
Ja.x Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love you all day
I love you always
So in love with yourself
내게 사랑을 알려준 네게 정말 고마워

하얀 눈이 오면 추운 겨울이 오면
넌 날 따듯하게 녹여
더위가 오면 더운 여름이 오면
시원한 너의 미소로 날 반겨
그 웃음 뒤 슬픔이 있던 그 슬픔
뒤 어떤 아픔이 많이 있던
끝까지 항상 너의 옆자릴 지켜
그러니까 너도 내 옆자리에 있어줘

허전함으로 가득 찼던 이 공간은
너무 차가워 너무 차가워
날 보는 사람들의 시선들이 따갑고
또 너무 사나워 그게 난 두려워져

가시같이 날카로워 모든 말들이
난 상처받고 싶지않아서 굳게 문을 닫어
너도 마찬가지 하며 내 자신을 가두지
근데 또 누군갈 간절히 기다려
그래 알어 내가 이기적인 거
그러니까 제발 한발 먼저 다가와줘
이 불안감 속에서 이젠 끝을 내고 싶어
날 위해 어서 손을 내밀어줘

Oh 이 도시는 너무 어지러워서
너 하나만 바랄 수 밖에 없어서
Oh 더럽혀진 나의 모든 걸 난 알면서도
By my side, stay by my side baby
이 도시는 너무 어지러워서
너 하나만 바랄 수 밖에 없어서
Oh 더럽혀진 나의 모든 걸 난 알면서도
By my side, stay by my side baby

Oh I'm sorry oh oh oh
I'm sorry oh oh oh
I'm sorry baby
Oh I'm sorry baby
By my side, stay by my side baby

앞만 보고 달려 온 시간들이
이기적이었던 나의 지난 날들이
후회가 돼 후회가 돼
널 떠나 보내는 게 난 무서웠어

Oh 이 도시는 너무 어지러워서
너 하나만 바랄 수 밖에 없어서
Oh 더럽혀진 나의 모든 걸 난 알면서도
By my side, stay by my side baby
이 도시는 너무 어지러워서
너 하나만 바랄 수 밖에 없어서
Oh 더럽혀진 나의 모든 걸 난 알면서도
By my side, stay by my side baby

I love you all day
I love you always




So in love with yourself
내게 사랑을 알려준 네게 정말 고마워
