Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

날이 참 좋길래
아무거나 걸쳐 입고 밖에 나와서
택시를 타고
아무데나 가달라고 했어
어디로 가든지
어디로 가든지
너를 다 두고 오려고
너를 다 두고 오려고

빠르게 지나가는
창밖의 풍경처럼
우리도 사라진다면
얼마나 좋을까
택시를 타고 아무데나
가달라고 했어
널 두고 오려고
널 두고 오려고
빠르게 지나가는
창밖의 풍경처럼
우리도 사라진다면
얼마나 좋을까
택시를 타고 아무 데나
가달라고 했어
널 두고 오려고
널 두고 오려고
날이 참 좋길래

아무거나 걸쳐 입고
밖에 나와서
