화면에서 알 수도 있는 사람이라고
너의 얼굴과 이름을 보고
우리가 끊어짐을 알았지 난 어떡해

말이 안 돼 내가 널 얼마나 잘 아는데
지난 몇 년이 내 거였는데
1초도 멈출 수가 없었던 내 사랑은

하지만 지금 뭘 하는지도
누구와 어디에 있는지도
알 수가 없으니 알지도 못하니
우린 그런 사이가 맞나 봐

안녕 안녕 인사도 못하네
제발 제발 잡지도 못하네
이렇게 멍하게 잘 가라고
말을 건네 본다 안녕

하지만 지금 뭘 하는지도
누구와 어디에 있는지도
알 수가 없으니 알지도 못하니
우린 그런 사이가 맞나 봐

안녕 안녕 인사도 못하네
제발 제발 잡지도 못하네
이렇게 멍하게 잘 가라고
말을 건네 본다 안녕

모두 지워버리진 않길 바래
또 우릴 기억해주길 바래
다른 사랑이 모두 가려버려도

네 하루를 다신 알 수 없어도
내가 알던 너만 기억하며 살아가 볼게

안녕 안녕 인사도 못하네
제발 제발 잡지도 못하네
이렇게 멍하게 잘 가라고

말을 건네 본다 안녕
안녕

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to RYEOWOOK's song, "알 수도 있는 사람 People You May Know" (People You May Know), are about the pain of encountering someone you used to be close to, but now feel distant from, through social media. The opening line translates to, "You're someone I could recognize on the screen, once I see your face and name, I knew we were disconnected, what can I do?" The singer goes on to say that it doesn't make sense that they know each other so well but are in this situation. They spent years together, and their love was intense, but now they are strangers. The chorus repeats, "Goodbye, goodbye, I can't even say hello, I can't even hold you, so just rest peacefully, goodbye."

The second verse continues with the theme of feeling disconnected. The singer wonders what the other person is doing or who they're with, but they'll never know. They come to the realization that this is just how it is, and they must say goodbye. The bridge offers some hope, "I hope they don't erase everything, I hope someone remembers us, even if other loves cover everything up, even if I can't know your day, I'll live remembering the only you I knew."

화면에서 알 수도 있는 사람이라고
I saw your face and name on the screen, maybe they are people you may know

너의 얼굴과 이름을 보고
I recognized your face and name

우리가 끊어짐을 알았지 난 어떡해
I realized we are no longer together, what should I do now?

말이 안 돼 내가 널 얼마나 잘 아는데
It doesn't make sense, I know you so well

지난 몇 년이 내 거였는데
We spent the last few years together

1초도 멈출 수가 없었던 내 사랑은
My love that couldn't stop even for a second

하지만 지금 뭘 하는지도
But I don't know what you're doing right now

누구와 어디에 있는지도
Or who you're with or where you are

알 수가 없으니 알지도 못하니
I can't know and I don't even know that I can't know

우린 그런 사이가 맞나 봐
I guess that's just how it is between us

안녕 안녕 인사도 못하네
Goodbye, I can't even say goodbye
