스쳐 지날까 발길 닿는 카페에서
많은 사람과 우리 둘만 있었지
그곳은 언제나 지금 같아
비가 쏟아지는 어느 날
불쑥 찾아온 용기에 마음 움직이더라
매일을 특별하게 해주겠다던 나
내가 더 웃는 게 사는 이유고 행복하다는 사람
뭐가 더 필요한 걸까
우리는 무조건 잘돼 매일 고마워
우리가 정한 운명인지
스치듯 처음 들려본 그곳에서
나도 모르게 마주쳤던 네 모습
그때가 내겐 늘 어제 같아
비가 쏟아지던 어느 날
보고 싶다는 문자에 내가 뛰고 있더라
매일을 특별하게 해주겠다던 나
가끔 특별한 날도 못 챙기는 내게
내가 더 웃는 게 사는 이유고 행복하다는 사람
뭐가 더 필요한 걸까
우리는 무조건 잘돼 매일 고마워
언제나 온전히 널 바라보는 것
그게 이제 내 인생으로 남았어
너를 나의 꿈에 안고 우리 바라는 그곳에 닿도록
지금처럼 영원히 함께할 거야
매일을 특별하게 해주겠다던 나
가끔 특별한 날도 못 챙기는 내게
내가 더 웃는 게 사는 이유고 행복하다는 사람
뭐가 더 필요한 걸까
우리 살면서 너와 나는 무조건 잘 될 거야
매일 고마워, 우우, 매일 사랑해
The lyrics of MIKI-CHANG's song "Beginning" depict the story of two individuals who meet and fall in love. The first verse describes the day they first became acquainted, as they happen to cross paths in a cafe where there were many people around but it felt like they were the only ones there. The songwriter emphasizes that this place will always remain special and significant to them.
The second verse portrays a rainy day when the singer's heart is moved by a sudden surge of courage. They make a promise to make everyday special for their loved one, but they sometimes struggle to deliver on this promise. Nevertheless, the singer finds that they are happier and live for the moments when they can make their partner smile. The lyrics question what more could they possibly need, expressing gratitude for each day they have together.
The chorus delves into the belief that their meeting and connection was destined.
