Lyrics
Your ticklish breathing sound makes me smile
I like everything even how do you look when you’re asleep
This warm afternoon sunlight that embraces me
Feels like it’s hugging me and I’m dreaming a small dream...
I want to put only you in this moment of mine
Somehow I close my eyes and come to you, love...
When your breathing sound that feels like a lullaby reached my ear
You are sweet, pandora’s box
When the warm afternoon sunlight fills my heart
I’m falling into you, pandora’s box...
The sunlight that touches my shoulder Is really warm like you so
I fall asleep It feels like we’ll be dreaming the same dream...
I want to put only you in this moment of mine
Somehow I close my eyes and come to you, love
When your breathing sound that feels like a lullaby reached my ear
You are sweet, pandora’s box
When the warm afternoon sunlight fills my heart
I’m falling into you, pandora’s box
Remember this moment of us
Together, forever always, like this
Remember this moment of us
Together, forever always, like this
You know, baby It’s always ride or die with you
When we’re together, wherever feels nice
Paradise everyday
This calming wind, smooth
This moment we feel, close your eyes and cherish it
The dream that we see in the daylight
Falls into a hole
No tools needed
You’ll be my pillow and I’ll be your blanket, but It’s indeed tiring
When my heart beats, since your breathing sound touched me
It feels warm again, today
Good times, these nights
Your eyes a different scene
Breathes so close we see, you take mine away from me
You make me dream everyday Inside this dream that feels unreal...

“낮잠 (Pandora’s Box)”
Taeil: I liked our final version more than the demo. When we were shooting the track video, I thought it was cute when we wore a white tee and jeans under the sunlight. The video ended up turning out great, too.
Johnny: This was the first time I participated in writing lyrics for a song, so it was definitely memorable.
Doyoung: I remember when we were singing the part – “Remember this moment; Us~” When I imagine that part, it just makes me happy. I think it’s just one of those songs that make you happy, so I really enjoy it.
Jaehyun: We shot this video all wearing suits, and it looked great. I thought all of us looked good!
Jungwoo: When I first heard this song, I thought it would be a great song to interact and connect with fans at a concert. Just thinking about and imagining our fans singing this song back to us really moves me. And in particular, the part of the song moving from the chorus to the post-chorus is pretty memorable too. This song is like the bright sunlight in bright clear skies.
